Top 10 albums of 2008
Everyone’s making a list, so I figured I’d give it a try. I’ve found most of the lists elsewhere to be somewhat biased towards the end of the year, but mine is quite the opposite since I listened to a lot more music early in the year. Well, here goes:
10. Invincible - ShapeShifters A record I discovered in early ‘09, which blows most hip-hop I’ve heard in recent...

Girl Talk - Feed The Animals
The new record from Gregg Gillis, aka Girl Talk, is available online following a “pay what you want” strategy, although it seems modeled slightly more after NIN’s Ghosts than Radiohead’s In Rainbows: pay anything you want for high-quality, DRM-free mp3s.

Monday muxtape from the guys at Tuneage →
Great muxtape. Makes me realize the value of giving a mixtape a particular feel or purpose, instead of just trying to cram in a bunch of artists I’m trying to get someone into. This one, for example, is, as they say, zen. Pure zen.
tuneage:
It’s Monday, and the corporate battle has just begun. Fighting for promotions, raises, and respect can be exausting. If your stress level has already...
