I love December. Many of my favorite music bloggers post their ‘Best of 2008′ lists. I thought I’d try a little twist and post up five songs from each month of 2008. The musical journey will include electronic, funk, indie rock, metal, indie pop, country, alt. rock, & hip/hop. If I’m not totally sick of this exercise by December 31st, I’ll post up a little bonus on Day 13.
- Listen to the songs on my OpenTape at http://jbinfrisco.com/opentape/
- If you dig the song, click the link below to buy it. Amazon sells DRM-free music at great prices. The bit rate is higher than iTunes and the music is playable on any device that plays mp3′s. DRM-free is the best way to build your personal music collection. I’ll plow any revenues back into more music in 2009.
My near obsessive lust for discovering new sounds resulted in almost 1100 additions to my iTunes library. Here are five from January, 2008. Regards ~ JB
The Ting Tings – “That’s Not My Name”
Okkervil River – “Unless It’s Kicks”
Vampire Weekend – “Oxford Comma”
The Damnwells – “Down With The Ship” - Not listed by Amazon
