Counting down the numbers
November 9, 2008It’s that time of year apparently, and I’m caught completely off balance. Yes, it’s LIST-MAKING TIME. Oh, indie rocks nerds – you do this earlier each year, it seems.
Popmatters are calling for top 10s and top 5s. I did this last year and I only got asked to write up one album – Iron & Wine’s The Shepherd’s Dog, which came in at #57.
Who knows what will happen this year. I’ve got a feeling that my picks won’t be anyone else’s favourites. A lot of the big critical noise albums of this year have done very little for me, and a lot of artists I love have done disappointing albums in 2008.
Stay tuned. because it will all turn up here on this blog in time.
