Best EPs of 2008:
One Day As A Lion - One Day As A Lion : The Rage isn’t back, but the passion of Zach is.
Cool Kids – The Bake Sale : Hip-hop is not dead, it’s alive and well with The Cool Kids.
The Decemberists – Always a Bridesmaid : One song bugs me, but the rest is lovely.
Animal Collective – Water Curses : An exciting view into what’s in store for 2009.

Motel De Moka : Stunning artwork mixed with the best minimalistic, experimental, and ambient music I’ve never heard of.

Captain Obvious : His library of covers is unrivaled as well as his detailed and spot-on album reviews.
