…the best of 2008!

I’m usually a complete failure at remembering these things, mainly because my sense of the length of a year is rather impaired. I can never remember whether something came out this year or last, and frequently, I buy albums years after their release, and watch shows way after they’ve finished. I don’t know. In any case, here is what I actually can remember from this year (in no particular order).

ALBUMS

1. Funeral for a Friend – Memory and Humanity

2. Senses Fail – Life is Not a Waiting Room

3. Anberlin – New Surrender

4. Cut Copy – In Ghost Colours

5. Thrice – The Alchemy Index, Vol. 3 + 4

6. Britney Spears – Circus

7. Lady Gaga – The Fame

8. Story of the Year – The Black Swan

9. Family Force 5 – Dance or Die

10. Forgive Durden – Razia’s Shadow

11. There for Tomorrow – S/T

Yeah, I’ve decided that 11 is an appropriate number…which makes me think of Red vs. Blue. Hahaha.

“There is no 11, you fucking WHORE!” – Church

TV

1. Red vs. Blue

2. Battlestar Galactica (forever the best show.)

3. Guy’s Big Bite

4. Manswers

…and that’s it for my year-end lists. Writing out why I liked each one of these items would have taken me the better part of the rest of this year, so just take my word for it; shit’s awesome.
