What I Listened To This Year

Posted by eric on December 23rd, 2008

YEAH ROB!

Here are a few albums from 2008 that I particularly enjoyed. I have a hard time talking about music, so my descriptions will be for the most part, useless. To one-up Rob, I threw in some listenable tracks. Booyah!

(Formatting this post was a bitch. Please excuse its slovenly appearance.)

Fleet Foxes – Fleet Foxes : I really can’t say enough good things about this album. That’s all I have to say about this one. Seriously though, this is quickly becoming one of my favorite albums ever. No joke.

.

Bon Iver – For Emma, Forever Ago : This album is so goddamn sad. It’s also a really great Winter album. It should be, seeing as their name is literally “good winter”.

.

The Magnetic Fields – Distortion : I have a soft spot for these guys. I’m not really sure I can articulate why. They write very simple songs. I think that appeals to me.

.
.

The Mountain Goats – Heretic Pride : It’s The Mountain Goats! The same band you know and love back for another installment. I haven’t listened to this album as closely as some of their others, but I’m convinced of its quality.

.

Why? – Alopecia : This and Fleet Foxes tie for my favorite album this year. Why? is all about the lyrics, which are inventive, illustrative, and sometimes offensive. This album requires some attention to appreciate fully.

    nevermind eric, i answered my own question. It’s a Peter Bruegel painting if anyone was interested.

    mwaha! YEAH ERIC!

    Shit dude, you got the padding between the album art and verbage all good! Nice dude. I was trying to write mine between support calls, hence the sloppy appearance.

    Well done on the audio clips as well!

    YEEAHHHHHHH

    Also, is that Bon Iver album _really_ as depressing as I keep hearing? Its actually the reason I haven’t listened to it yet, I’m trying to avoid all bad vibes, but if the music is that beautiful, eff it.

    Dude, it literally is beautiful. It’s sad, but it’s totally worth it. Definitely listen. Also, you can set the padding on images if you insert one, click on the settings for that image and switch on over to the advanced tab. YOIYOIYOI!!
