2008 was a slow year for me in terms of music. Not bad in any way, just a bit slower. I settled in on a few albums and didn’t really go outside my box too much. Here are a few of my favorites (I included some links to amazon if you’d like to pick them up):

These first two are my “saturday morning/raining/sad/tired/quiet/mellow” records.

• Sun Kil Moon – April
• Bon Iver – For Emma, Forever Ago

My “time to dance and party” CD:

• Cut Copy – In Ghost Colours

My favorite album to drive to (and not because the first track is titled “Freeway”):

• Aimee Mann – @#%&*! Smilers

My favorite albums for rocking:

• The Hold Steady – Stay Positive
• TV On the Radio – Dear Science
• Wolf Parade – At Mount Zoomer

And finaly, three local favorites:

• Tapes ‘n Tapes – Walk It Off
• Jeremy Messersmith – The Silver City
• Haley Bonar – Big Star (Billy!)

Did you have any big favorites this year?
