Obligatory Chart #2: Top 25 Tracks of 2008
I sometimes find it shocking that the two of us can be in a band together. I like four of the albums containing songs noted here, and then only because Jay introduced me to Late of the Pier.The way I did this was essentially sort my playlist down to my 50 most played songs (to give me some room for subjectivity; just because I played it a lot doesn’t necessarily mean I thought it was the best of the year, and vice versa). From there I whittled it down manually to my top 25. So… here we go!
1) MGMT - “Electric Feel” (Justice Remix)
2) Cut Copy - “Out There On the Ice”
3) IAMX - “Spit it Out” (Designer Drugs Remix)
