Best Albums of 2008

[azaghal1981]

Not an album. It was a collection of their 7"'s.



Hutch, that's a very solid top 10.


I started that Woolfy V. Projections album a few weeks ago but never finished it.


And Wooden Shjips still not having played a show in DC is a travesty that needs to be remedied soon.

I normally try to rely on you, but that was before I realized the scenester-ism outweighed you actually being able to judge good music
