Best of 2008 mix - May 27th edition.
[Play order not yet determined]
Constantines - "Credit River"
No Age - "Ripped Knees"
R.E.M. - "Living Well's the Best Revenge"
Vampire Weekend - "Oxford Comma"
Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - "Jesus of the Moon"
The Raconteurs - "Consoler of the Lonely"
Santogold - "Say Aha"
Elbow - "Grounds for Divorce"
Neon Neon - "I Told Her on Alderaan"
Bauhaus - "Too Much 21st Century"
Supergrass - "Ghost of a Friend"
Portishead - "Hunter"
The Felice Brothers - "Frankie's Gun"
Duffy - "Rockferry"
MGMT - "Time to Pretend"
Scarlett Johansson - "Falling Down"
The Raveonettes - "Aly, Walk With Me"
The Drive-By Truckers - "The Man I Shot"
Isobell Campbell & Mark Lanegan - "Back Burner"
Would be a [much] longer list, but I stuck to the 80 minute limit of a traditional audio CD so my friends without MP3 players could play it in their cars. So far I'm really, really enjoying the music of this year.
Some other great music that was new to me is that I'm just now getting into The Pogues. Can you believe I'd never heard them before? Rum, Sodomy & the Lash and If I Should Fall From Grace With God are both fucking amazing.
