PrintIt's been a while...so yeah. Let's move this one up.
Because the previous FanPost wasn't good enough for colin, I thought this would better satisfy his nerdy tendencies that we're all fond and sick of at the same time. Over the last few years, I find myself increasingly overwhelmed and consequently less aware of contemporary music, so if you find my list dated, to not include anything relevant to Sox offseason activities, and not be worthy for Pitchforkmedia or Now That's What I Call Music (i.e., Kenwo the kickboxer), feel free to flag.
In no particular order:
- Velvet Underground - VU, a previous collection of unreleased recordings
- TVOTR - Dear Science
- Brian Eno - Music for Airports
- Lo Cor De Plana - Tant Deman
- Sea and Cake - Car Alarm
- Fred Anderson Quartet - Vol 1
- Stereolab - Chemical Chords
- Fela Kuti - Original Sufferhead
- Amon Duul II - Phallus De
- Lucifer Rising sountrack for Kenneth Anger film
- Goblin - Profondo Rosso sountrack for Dario Argento film
- Spacemen 3 - Perfect Prescription
The first snow just hit Boston, and I'm off to work on a friggin' Sunday to knock out a paper.

well offhand, since i'm obviously supposed to answer
one that comes to mind most immediately is Howl by BRMC. fucking outstanding album. don’t know why or how i waited so long on that one.
nothing gets ‘em wetter than infrequent postings on the city’s second favorite team
Marquee Moon and Electric Warrior are both on that list
so’s Dear Science for that matter.

I found some great records this year.
These are the ones I’ve listened A LOT:
Gun Club – Fire of Love
Buzzcocks – Singles Going Steady
Public Image Ltd. – First Edition
The Band – Music From Big Pink
Todd Rundgren – Something/Anything?
Pere Ubu – Dub Housing

Oh, they're great.
I had Secend Edition (Metal Box in a non-metal case) for a long time before I really started liking it. I was looking for First Edition for a few years before I finally came across it this summer. It also rules.

by first edition, do you mean first issue?
jah wobble is awesome. i borrowed a bass guitar last summer, and one of the few songs i learned was socialist, because its simply one line, but its so hypnotic.
by onlysoxfaninboston on Dec 7, 2008 10:03 PM CST up reply actions
Yes!
I went and checked Second Edition, thinking that’s the one I had the title wrong for.

If we are talking NEW albums in 2008....
Lupe Fiasco – The Cool
Ludacris – Theater of the Mind
Weezer – The Red Album
T.I. – King
the cool was released december '07, btw
but ignoring that, as it’s not the point of the fanpost, as a segue into my list:
Lupe Fiasco – The Cool
Lupe Fiasco – Food & Liquor
i strongly liked ‘eardrum’, but wouldn’t put it on a “best of” list.
I don’t want my beer to taste like fruit or honey. I want pussy to taste that way.
Ah Dec '07, close enough
I actually didn’t buy it until Spring, so now it applies.

i didn't do a damn thing.
i was perfectly happy with jim’s thread. where was i bitching about jim’s thread? y’all are making shit up.
nothing gets ‘em wetter than infrequent postings on the city’s second favorite team
c'mon, i'm teasing yo, but wtf, JCM24 could've posted that in jim's thread
unless from his perspective, the best shit he listened to in 2008 happened to be new music released in 2008
by onlysoxfaninboston on Dec 8, 2008 10:18 AM CST up reply actions
i think it's a reading comprehension issue.

Well, could not have discovered this music in any other year
Besides The Cool, which I DID happen to discover in this year.
So lick one!
Yeah...
ALL of it!

Buddy Guy - Sweet Tea.
Excellent Mississippi blues.
i guess if you think a guy who is missing both testicles is healthy,
sure.
Sweet Tea....
One of the first times Buddy really changed the tone of that Strat for the backwoods, deep sound. One of the most phenomenal guitar players ever. Hoytsstash’s personal favorite of all time. Walkin’ Through the Woods a timeless classic. Started playing the guitar 20 years ago because of him.
Good call WU
How could he lose the ball in the sun....he's from Mexico.
No shit. I thought I was being obscure.
Big props, HS. I am kinda fond of Look What All You Got and Tramp meself. Hope he plays them when I see him in February.
i guess if you think a guy who is missing both testicles is healthy,
sure.
Buddy Guy was given his honorary doctorate by Columbia, on the day I graduated in 2006.
He performed acoustic at our ceremony – in his cap and gown. It was pretty fucking sweet.
...and then some depressed fucked-cake eating.

miles davis-dig....
gotta love it
takes some real stones for the one certifiable cocksucker on here to jump into this convo.-mm
Beirut - "The Flying Club Cup"
I can’t remember if I got into this in the actual calendar year of 2008 (could have been late 2007).
But I like. And their previous release, Gulag Orkestar.
...and then some depressed fucked-cake eating.
Oh, and another 2007 that I got into this year...
White Stripes – Icky Thump.
I dig, I dig!
...and then some depressed fucked-cake eating.
For a spin - how about an album from 2007 that you can't bear to listen to anymore????
Wilco – Sky Blue Sky
...and then some depressed fucked-cake eating.
The Black Keys --
Attack and Release
Hoytsstash recommends any Black Keys album for that matter.
How could he lose the ball in the sun....he's from Mexico.
agreed
"Oh, that's easy. White Sox. I'm not one of these fair-weather fans. You go to Wrigley Field, you have a beer; beautiful people up there. People aren't watching the game. It's not serious. White Sox, that's baseball. South Side." -O'Bama
Damn -- I don't know why I haven't brought up this CD earlier...
Mark Ronson’s “Version” is pretty neat, kind of a collaboration of covers and some rock+jazz stuff. “Valerie” by Amy Winehouse is such a great great song — I wish I was able to see that sung at Lollapalooza (not by AW, I don’t think, but in any case…) a few years back.
have we already talked about how toxic is definitely a good song?

I didn't think Keith could get into bars....
though he is quite a mature young man for whatever age he is, I might add.

WU, not a word for this comment, please. Nothing about rooms, or ending up togethers.
heh heh. I feel like I practically set you up.

you know hsa
i just don’t think you’re worthy enough to comment on this thread. you clearly don’t know enough about music. you’re just not up enough on your pitchforkmedia, av, stereogum, what have you. i think next time i’ll have to send out an invite before contribute another music fan post.

Sober, I was appalled at the women. Drunk I was told I danced with them all.
Just FYI, I'm pretty sure some of those albums were not in fact new releases in 2008.
What?

I can't believe no one has mentioned the soundtrack to High School Musical 3 yet.
Why so serious?
