These are 20 of my favorite songs of 2008, in no particular order. Some songs didn't make the list because they didn't have a video on Youtube (yeah, I'm looking at you Grand Archives and your song "Sleepdriving")
Part two tomorrow.
Invincible - Locusts
This is a 10 minute document/video for the song. Amazing rapper from Detroit by way of Israel, her album Shapeshifters is one of the best of 2008.
Blood Red Shoes - It's Getting Boring by the Sea
I didn't know Michael Cera played drums during his free time!
Atmosphere - You
From another one of the top albums of 2008, You is one of the more "upbeat" songs on Atmosphere's latest.
Living Legends - She Wants Me
Murs and the boys not only make a great song, but a hilarious video to boot. Love Murs.
The Gaslight Anthem - The 59 Sound
Punk meets Springsteen? You decide.
Cloud Cult - Everyone Here is a Cloud
Slow buildup with a great payoff.
CSS - Rat is Dead
This song has a fun 80s vibe to it.
Dead Confederate - The Rat
Not the best song titled The Rat (that would be by the Walkmen), but a very good first single. What's up with songs about Rats??
The Duke Spirit - Lassoo
I LOVE the singer's voice.
Fucked Up - Son the Father
Loud, loud, loud...live version. Doesn't do justice to the screaming chorus from the record. One of my favorite songs of the year.
