My Top Ten Favorite Albums Released in 2008

10: Langhorne Slim - Diamonds & Gold
"I wasn't much of a fighter or a lover
You said don't get excited but take cover..."

09: Kings of Leon - Because of the Times
"Just know it was you all along
That had a hold of my heart
But the demon and me
Were the best of friends from the start"

08: Damien Jurado - Caught In the Trees
"Should you ever, ever need me to stick around"

07: AA Bondy - American Heart
"And it's love that's tearing them down
And it's love that turns them around..."

06: This Is Ivy League - Self-Titled
"Although we haven't got much money, we must admit it's pretty funny
How they think we are the richest kids in town"

05: Little Joy - Little Joy
"One thought, has me turning back
A dozen point the other way
We act upon desire
To reach your hand for higher
And patience isn't worth the wait"

04: Micah P. Hinson - ...and the Red Empire Orchestra
"Constantly protecting what isn't mine..."

03: The Racontuers - Consolers of the Lonely
"Take it as it comes and be thankful when it's done
There's so many ways to act and there's many shades of black"

02: Bonnie "Prince" Billy - Is It the Sea?
"When the fever hits on your forehead
And trusive mice chew up your bed
And you call on God and God is dead
Love comes to you..."

01: Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago
"I tell my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall..."
