Every year I have a weird custom of listing either my top 10 or my top 20 favorite records. It gives me a chance to be selective and to rule out the records that haven't truly spoken to me in the end.
This year I'll do the same but with a little twist. I'll be listing ONLY the ones that I actually bought and that were considered a new release within' the year. I mean if I bought them and kept them then they are simply my favorites!
Those who truly know me will notice how I haven't bought that many CDs this time around. Normally I'd have a list of at least 60-80 records to choose from. Yes, this year it's only been 30. Oh how life changes no?
Here's my list for 2008 in no order of preference:
1) Seventh Tree by Goldfrapp
2) Hurricane by Grace Jones
3) Alegranza by El Guincho
4) Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends by Coldplay
5) Soul by Seal
6) Hard Candy by Madonna
7) Discipline by Janet Jackson
8) Lunada by Thalia
9) Hellville De Luxe by Bunbury
10) Who Killed Amanda Palmer by Amanda Palmer
11) Detours by Sheryl Crow
12) Rio by Aterciopelados
13) Amores Dificiles by Cabas
14) Pebble To A Pearl by Nikka Costa
15) Pequeno Pionero by M.
16) Elephants...Teeth Sinking Into Heart by Rachael Yamagata
17) Snowflake Midnight by Mercury Rev
18) We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things by Jason Mraz
19) Guilty Guilty Guilty by Diamanda Galas
20) The Holy Pictures by David Holmes
21) Mothertongue by Nico Muhly
22) Knowle West Boy by Tricky
23) Jim by Jamie Lidell
