(Not Necessarily New) Albums I Heard in '08 and Liked

Before the clock runs out...
MGMT - Oracular Spectacular (Electric Feel is the theme to Saturday Night Fever 2...which doesn't really exist nor should it)
Estelle - Shine
Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes
The National - Boxer
Medeski, Martin, and Wood - Let's Go Everywhere (Pat-A-Cake like you've never hear it)

I heard "American Boy" for the first time ever this past week. Somehow it had slipped by me . . . a dancefloor classic.

I didn't listen to much hip hop/R&B radio this year, but I did happen to catch and enjoy that song. Would like to hear more of her album.

Paul...what would you suggest as a starting point to Deerhunter between Cryptograms, Microcastle, or Weird Era? I've always been annoyed by their singer, but have liked their individual songs when I've randomly heard them.

Definitely Microcastle. Weird Era Cont. is more of an experiment than a proper album, and I find Cryptograms and Flourescent Grey to be a bit half-baked.
