I have a friend that does a best of... album every year and he puts together a CD of the best songs from the year that he has heard. I like the idea and I have been laboring at one all month, my principle problem being that I don't have the capacity to know which of the nearly 300 albums I purchased this year were actually from 2008. I am about 8 songs into it. I am wondering if a cover album released in 2008 would qualify? The songs are from the 60's but they were rerecorded... I don't know it seems like a stretch.
I know this is awfully bah-humbuggy of me, but I am glad that Christmas is past, and I am happy that this year is nearly over. My only real goal for the next couple of days is to crank through some books that I started this year and for one reason or another haven't been able to finish. On Tuesday my lofty plan is to drink a shit-load of coffee and maybe get a little nervous as a side benefit.
Anyway, happy New Year to everyone. Good luck in the new year.

As for your cover question, I'd say that you are probably in the clear as long as the covers themselves were released in 2008. Remember, Soft Cell's cover of Tainted Love is considered an eighties song even though the original was recorded in 1965.
Good luck with the coffee and books.
