08' Faves (Music)

(Bon Iver’s Flume gave me eargasms all year. It just barely missed out on my top ten tracks of 2008.)

I’ll spare the commentary and just get down to the listings. But first it is a little surprising to note that for a self-professed indie kid, my #1 tracks for the last two years have been rap songs (2007 was MIA’s Paper Planes). There isn’t really a correlation between my favourite albums and favourite songs it seems. Very weird. Just goes to show, an outstanding track or two does not make a great album.

(If you’ve been hearing raves about how good The Fleet Foxes can harmonize, trust me, its not hyperbolic hype. Stuff Like White Winter Hymnal can melt your soul.)

Albums:
1) Dear Science – TV on the Radio
2) The Carter III – Lil’ Wayne
3) Fleet Foxes – Fleet Foxes
4) For Emma, Forever Ago – Bon Iver
5) Skeletal Lamping – Of Montreal
6) You & Me – The Walkmen
7) Hercules And Love Affair - Hercules And Love Affair
8) Do You Like Rock Music? – British Sea Power
9) In Ghost Colours – Cut Copy
10) Partie Traumatic – Black Kids

(Zooey Deschanel is love. So is her voice. Check out this acoustic version of Change Is Hard if you need proof.)

Songs:
1) A Milli – Lil’ Wayne
2) Why Do You Let Me Stay Here? - She & Him
3) Jungle Drum – Emiliana Torrini 
4) Pot Kettle Black – Tilly and The Wall
5) Graveyard Girl – M83
6) Get Better – Mates Of State
7) Of Moons, Birds And Monsters – MGMT
8) I’m Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You – Black Kids
9) L.E.S. Artistes – Santogold
10) Many Shades of Black – The Raconteurs

I got to call Zooey Deschanel by 10.59 man.

This isn’t a real band btw, but it should be. They’re called Munchausen by Proxy which is like the coolest band name ever.

Let The Right One In is a little known Swedish film about a twelve-year-old boy who falls in love with the twelve-year-old (“more or less”) girl next door who happens to be vampire. Now, this movie also happens to be the best thing I’ve seen all year. Too bad it’s gonna be eclipsed by that other vampire movie in a couple of days. Unlike Twilight, this movie about tweenies is defintely not for tweenies. Its subject matter and themes are disturbing to the extreme but it’s adolescent romance offsets one’s discomfort for the most part. I’m going to get around to listing my 2008 favourites soon cause, you know, it’s that time of the year, and Let The Right One In is probably going to be up there.

You’d think I’d be more excited when Fables gets adapted into a TV series but alas, the talent and the network producing it does not inspire much faith. A premise as strange and quirky as this won’t last on network television.

I always used to joke about “The Shield” vs. “Grey’s Anatomy,” because we were on same lot. Our drama would be on screen, and theirs would be off screen.

- Oh snap! Shawn Ryan during a post-mortem interview/analysis of The Shield for critics.
I really opened myself up in “JCVD.” I peeled back the skin of the fruit, cut the pulp and then took that very hard seed. In this film I cut that hard seed, and inside that seed was a kind of liquid cream substance of the man I am, or the woman you are.

- Jean-Claude Van Damme attempting to hit on 22-year-old Newsweek reporter, Sarah Ball, during an interview.
LOL. Chuck Norris should totally launch spaceships for NASA in real life. LOL. Chuck Norris should totally launch spaceships for NASA in real life.
This show. My God. I had trouble breathing the last ten minutes. In my head I go through the whole The Wire vs The Shield debate all the time. The Wire ended with a whimper this year. The Shield is going out with a fucking nuclear bomb. Those last ten minutes? My hands were shaking. My God. The Shield > The Wire tonight. This show. My God.
