Let's Progress! (My Favorite Songs of 2008)

So I finished the list, it's posted below. Note that it's not in table format, because that's still way harder than it should be. And now the list:

TITLE - ARTIST
White Winter Hymnal - Fleet Foxes
Lost Coastlines - Okkervil River
We Got the Power (Love Letter from America) - The Born Again Floozies
Believe - The Bravery
The Places We Lived - Backyard Tire Fire
Jesus, Walk With Me (The Sound of Arrows Remix) - Club 8
All Night - Damian Marley
After All (feat. Talib Kweli) - Lupe Fiasco
The Modern Leper - Frightened Rabbit
Sax Rohmer #1 - The Mountain Goats
Dance, Dance, Dance - Lykke Li
Valerie Plame - The Decemeberists
You've Done It Again, Virginia - The National
Top Yourself - The Raconteurs
A-Punk - Vampire Weekend
Immigrant Punk - Gogol Bordello
San Bernardino - The Mountain Goats
Starálfur - Sigur Rós
Ching-A-Ling - Missy Elliot

In the unlikely event that there are readers of this blog, the more astute ones will have noticed that Dance, Dance, Dance by Lykke Li was not on the previous list. So I didnt' hear it until after making the first round list. So sue me.

Vampire Weekend

I snagged a few tracks from Vampire Weekend's debut album this wee...a day or so ago, and some of their stuff is pretty okay. I'm just not crazy about everything I've heard. I realize that I'm no longer part of the modern music scene but I just don't dig "Oxford Comma" or "Mansard Roof" - two of the more popular singles according to the blogs I've been reading. "A-Punk," and "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa," however, are fun little pop songs that I'm happy to have with me during my morning commute.

I'll leave serious commentary to folks dedicated to music blogging. Here! Look at this video!
