Best of 2008 Scratch Sheet thread!
Alright, I'm determined not to forget albums as I slowly compile my best of 08 as the year unfolds. Here's where I'm at if the year ended today: 1. Destroyer - Trouble In Dreams 2. Stephen Malkmus - Real Emotional Trash 3. Fleet Foxes - Ragged Wood 4. Aaron Thomas - Follow The Elephants 5. Cloud Cult - Feel Good Ghosts (Tea-Partying Through Tornadoes) 6. Nada Surf - Lucky 7. Sia - Some People Have Real Problems 8. Jason Collett - Here's To Being Here 9. British Sea Power - Do You Like Rock Music? 10. Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend 11. Bauhaus - Go Away White 12. The Mountain Goats - Heretic Pride but it's still soooo early and we still gots lots comin' our way! Bring on Wolf Parade & REM now please!!! :D I'm hoping we have enough participating members come the end of the year to do a big best of thread...... what about you guys? What ya'll diggin' so far???

The dilemma for me is does Radiohead count... because technically the cd was released Jan 1st. I'd like to know what you guys think, otherwise here's my top 5. 1. Mountain Goats - Heretic Pride 2. Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend 3. Magnetic Fields - Distortion 4. She and Him - Volume 1 5. Destroyer - Trouble with Dreams

Not sure on the Radiohead, it seems to be taken as released last year as it was on alot of lists. We just listened to she & him a few times (driving in the shitty weather), I'm loving this album more and more!! :D

i can't possibly choose yet. most recently, i have been enjoying The Gutter Twins - Saturnalia

need to load gutter twins up ASAP and (from what I hear) Tokyo Police is really good too!

Best albums so far for me have been: British Sea Power - Do You Like Rock Music? Destroyer - Trouble In Dreams Vampire Weekend - s/t She And Him - Volume 1 It just dawned on me the other day how good the She & Him record is, takes time to fully appreciate it in my opinion. Zooey's vocals are just beautiful and when you think about it for a record by a movie star it's great to see it's not been all packaged up and advertised the hell out of to the masses. Need to let new records by Plants & Animals, The Mountain Goats, Cloud Cult and Malkmus sink in properly still. And I still haven't got around to listening to Fleet Foxes. Is it worth it?

First off, welcome!! :D Oh man, Fleet Foxes is so worth it, imo! You got to get that.... there's a link in the fleet foxes discography thread at the strip mall. As for She & Him, I think you may be right, it's creeping up my list slowly by surely. I loved it already, but after this weekend where it got heavy play, I love it even more!

I was real excited for the new Malkmus CD, and like last years new Interpol record and the Architecture in Helsinki record before it, it pains me to say that so far I'm not impressed.

Removing the numbers for now and adding a few more.... Tapes N Tapes - Walk It Off She & Him - Volume One Destroyer - Trouble In Dreams Stephen Malkmus - Real Emotional Trash Fleet Foxes - Ragged Wood Aaron Thomas - Follow The Elephants Cloud Cult - Feel Good Ghosts (Tea-Partying Through Tornadoes) Nada Surf - Lucky Sia - Some People Have Real Problems Jason Collett - Here's To Being Here British Sea Power - Do You Like Rock Music? Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend Bauhaus - Go Away White The Mountain Goats - Heretic Pride got a lot more to go through.... not feeling the Tokyo Police Club.

Is the Tapes N Tapes really that good to hit the top of your list? I havent had a chance to jam it yet.

I don't know about top, but it's moving up with each listen. I had to remove the numbers for now, there's just too much goodness going on to even think of numbering anything yet!

Here is my list The Ruby Suns - Sea Lion Vampire Weekend - s/t Thao Nguyen & The Get Down Stay Down - We Brave Bee Stings and All Sebastian Tellier - Sextuality Biirdie - Catherine Avenue Stephen Malkmus - Real Emotional Trash But think its too early to dismiss some albums Waiting for the Long Blondes, wolf parade, islands, shearwater, my morning jacket, spinto band, doves and isobel campbell albums
