Episode 48: Top 10

January 26, 2009

Well another year has passed. And What a year it was. Lot’s of great music was released, but here is the best.

Yes it’s the Mixed Frequencies top 10 11 of 2008, in no particular order. Why in no order? Mostly because I’m a little sleepy, but also because they were all so good that I couldn’t pick a favourite *cough* Death Cab *cough*.

  • Death Cab for Cutie “Narrow Stairs”
  • Bloc Party “Intimacy”
  • Winter Gloves “About a Girl”
  • The Human Statues “The Human Statues”
  • Ra Ra Riot “The Rhumb Line”
  • Vampire Weekend “Vampire Weekend”
  • Tokyo Police Club “Elephant Shell”
  • The Streets “Everything is Borrowed”
  • “PlayRadioPlay!” Texas
  • “Kosmonaut” Kosmonaut
  • “Hexes & Ohs” Bedroom Madness

And of course, there are some honourable mentions. Complete with reasoning.

  • Straylight Run “Un Mas Dos” (It’s only three songs!)
  • Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog Soundtrack (It’s for a musical, I’m not sure if that counts?)
  • The Midway State “Holes” (Made up of mostly songs from old E.P.s and ‘Barefoot’ was left out.)
  • A.M. “Today Is…” (I really like it but I couldn’t put it on the list..)
  • Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist Soundtrack (See Dr. Horrible, but a movie not a musical.)
  • The Flobots “Fight With Tools” (Technically a 2007 disc, but re-released in 2008)
