Best of 2008 - Tunes

NPR's list of Top 10 "Smart Rock" albums contains three of my faves of 2008: Fleet Foxes, My Morning Jacket, and The Hold Steady (coming to Calvin College in April!). I've put a few of my fave tracks on the Lit Lounge Playlist (see sidebar) for your listening pleasure. My guilty pleasures this year include Pink's "So What" and "Who's Gonna Save My Soul" by Gnarls Barkley. 

And 2009 looks promising with a new Springsteen release and the second CD by Modern Skirts, a cool little combo out of Athens, GA. While waiting for their new one to drop, I recommend giving a listen to their first CD, Catalogue of Generous Men.
