My 2008 Soundtrack
The opinions expressed in this blog entry are those entirely of the author (Rachel) and do not necessarily reflect those of Alternative Press Magazine, Inc.
Now that we've got that out of the way, these are the albums that got significant face time in my iTunes this year. Because I tend to have really bad music-listening habits, I can't promise that any of these discs got more spins than Mermaid Avenue throughout this year. But as new music goes, these were the jams in my world.
(Disclaimer: I'm doing this without my iTunes in front of me and am terribly afraid I'm leaving out a couple of obvious ones. Lemme know what you think I'm missing!)
Without further ado, here they are, in chronological order:
JUNO SOUNDTRACK
MGMT/ORACULAR SPECTACULAR
VAMPIRE WEEKEND/VAMPIRE WEEKEND
NADA SURF/LUCKY
THE MATCHES/A BAND IN HOPE
SHE & HIM/VOL. 1
PANIC AT THE DISCO/PRETTY. ODD.
SOMEONE STILL LOVES YOU BORIS YELTSIN/PERSHING
FOREVER THE SICKEST KIDS/UNDERDOG ALMA MATER
DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE/NARROW STAIRS
MATES OF STATE/RE-ARRANGE US
FLEET FOXES/FLEET FOXES
MY MORNING JACKET/EVIL URGES
KATY PERRY/ONE OF THE BOYS
3OH!3/WANT
CONOR OBERST/CONOR OBERST
OKKERVIL RIVER/THE STAND-INS
KINGS OF LEON/ONLY BY THE NIGHT
DEAR AND THE HEADLIGHTS/DRUNK LIKE BIBLE TIMES
BEN FOLDS/WAY TO NORMAL
JACK'S MANNEQUIN/THE GLASS PASSENGER
RYAN ADAMS/CARDINOLOGY
THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS/WHEN THE WORLD COMES DOWN

I think I love you (or just some of your music).
MGMT, Conor Oberst, Okkervil River, Ryan Adams, AND Wilco/Billy Bragg/Woody Guthrie all in one post! <3 <3
I just listened to that Ryan Adams album for the first time yesterday. Sooooooooooo good. The rest of the list ain't bad either. I noticed some stuff on there that used to be on my Zune but isn't anymore for some reason. Gonna have to fire up the ol' computer for some downloadin' I guess.
Really good list!
I just recently bought Narrow Stairs and the Stand Ins, and haven't listened to them yet, totally forgot about them. Your blog reminded me to.
and hellz yeah for Jack's Mannequin!
did you perhaps forget the '59 Sound by the Gaslight Anthem?
Dig the list, with one addition: Raconteurs! Great album this year.
At least I didn't see Chinese Democracy on your list, like every other one I've been seeing. Not that I was that worried about it ;)
