As per Sledg's suggestion, I started making my Year-End Best of 2008 list. And since I'd much rather make a mix than continue studying for Civil Procedure, I'm jumping the gun a bit and and making a mix containing songs from my favorite albums of 2008. In the interest of continuity, I'm not doing the songs in order of my actual Best Of list. For that, go to my profile. Enjoy!

Track Description:
My favorite album of the year; this band just came out of nowhere. In a lot of ways, it out-My Morning Jacket-ed My Morning Jacket. They're really doing their own thing, though, with great harmonies and a kind of Appalachian-inspired aesthetic. I saw them live, and they were still pitch-perfect. SHOW LESS

Despite the fact that TEAM ROBOT was crushed like a Pabst can at a frat party by the might claws of TEAM MONSTER, you are still deserving of a badge... Loser.

Level 40
Cave, Fleet Foxes and Lambchop would all figure in any best of 2008 mix I did. There are a few other things mentioned I will try to hear.
