If you're a fan of the sort of music i listen to - (read the "music ilike" section in my facebook) - then 2008 is a bloody good year.
The list of artists and bands that i like from my innocent primary school days until as recently discovered - almost everyone released a good album. take this for example.
i like the boy band Take That, they made a reunion album earlier this year. i like the spice girls(who doesnt?), they made a reunion world tour!. oasis released their best work since morning glory last month. sigur ros too with their penchant for visual artistry released their icelandic record that i got hold of only this month. and it was worth the hd space!
mogwai, guns and roses (chinese democracy), smashing pumpkins (zetgeist - it was a dissapointing listen though), metallica, portishead (three) and the almighty radiohead (in rainbows) made this year a memorabe year for music. and to top it all off, the brilliant green, the jrock band whom the singer i felt madly in love with during form 2/3/4, had just released a new single and a "best of" album. a studio album is already announced to be released next year! and and and... if my rusty memory serves me correctly, the white shoes and the couples company too will release - or already released, got to google this - another studio album!
some decent bands too released some decent works like coldplay, the kooks, keane, and snow patrol although i got tired of actually trying to put effort to get a few listen. i even got hooked to the lovely wonder girls from korea last week. man u gotta see this video. they're hot like hell!
britney spears too has got a new album! WOMANIZER - repeat this till the song ends, WOW!
and thanks to sputnikmusic and last.fm, i just cant stop lisnin (and downloading) to some trip hops (massive attack, mandalay, esthero, etc), posts (explosions in the sky, godspeed you black emperor) and some good old rock music (matthew good).
man, this year is good.
