2008 (so far) Songs Mix
June 30, 2008
![]()
I made this mix a few weeks back of some of my favorite songs of 2008 so far just for personal listening and I think it’s one of the best mixes I’ve made. I’m actually on a family vacation now which is why the posting has been a bit light but I have the mix uploaded and I’d love for you guys to download it, listen to it, and tell me what you think. This isn’t a definitive best songs list from me, just some of my favorites of the year that I thought sounded good together. And a picture of Arnold giving a thumbs up. Click here to download.

I can’t wait to listen to this collection, so thanks for putting it up. For what it’s worth, you’re one of four music blogs I check quite religiously in the hopes of making a new discovery. You’re directly responsible for at least four album purchases of mine in the past two months. Although we know the bands don’t get nearly enough of that cash as we’d like, at least they get some, and you sent some of mine their way with your great blog.
FWIW, I just can’t quite love Vampire Weekend or Fleet Foxes to the degree many seem to, but Ladytron and M83 are plenty fun, and I still can’t stop repeatedly listening to the latest Mates of State, which continues to claim its place as my favorite album of 2008.
As a final note — and not the reason I’m writing this, I swear — if you took a look at our nascent little music blog (it’s more about journaling to a thematic musical soundtrack, really), I’d appreciate it. Any suggestions or recommendations you had would be appreciated, since you’re a veritable veteran compared to us.
Happy 4th!

Hey, thanks for posting this mix! I’ve been out of the loop for most of this year, and this looks like a good way to catch up.
Cheers,
