2008: What I've been listening to
I have been complaining about end of the year lists for about 2 weeks now, when I realised that it is only now that I'm ready to make a 2007 list, not a year ago. That's why this year I decided to make a playlist instead. These are not the best songs of 2008 and most of them definitely do not belong to what I consider to be the best albums of the year so far. It's just a collection of songs released in 2008 that I have enjoyed a lot and listened to compulsively. They're not meant to be in a certain order.
Off With Their Heads - Self Checkout from From The Bottom
Russian Red - Cigarettes from I Love Your Glasses

I can't believe I only listen to 6 bands from your 2008 top 15. There's something seriously wrong with this.
And my favourite song off of Convertible appears to be a cover. There's something seriously wrong with this too.
You really have a problem.
Cool lists. You obviously have good taste.
