Top Ten Albums Of 2008 - From the home office in Columbus,OH
My obsessive-compulsive musical personality has gotten the better of me...again, and I have decided to post the obligatory list of my favorite 10 records of the year past.
I usually agonize over these things for way too long, so this year I am not going to think too deeply on it, and just pick the 10 albums that I couldn't stop playing in 2008.
Blair's Top 10 Of 2008(click the titles, hear a song)
10. Kathleen Edwards - 'Asking For Flowers'
9. Girl Talk - 'Feed The Animals'
8. The Kills - 'Midnight Boom'
7. Why? - 'Alopecia'
6. My Morning Jacket - 'Evil Urges'
5. Two Cow Garage - 'Speaking In Cursive'
4. Okkervil River - 'The Stand-Ins'
3. Bottle Up & Go - 'These Bones'
2. Frightened Rabbit - 'The Midnight Organ Fight'
1. The Hold Steady - 'Stay Positive'

Not even home will be there forever...
This as close to holiday music as you will get on my blog!

I love this song, it borrows beautifully from my favorite Otis Redding song...just a beautiful tune.

Craigslist Musical Dedication Of The Day
3D Porn! - m4w

Yea, you read right. There's a 70's style porn in 3D playing tonight and tomorrow night up at the campus theater. They had one a few months ago and it was perhaps the funniest thing I've ever seen on the big screen.
I'm looking for a girl with a sense of humor and a cute face to go with me to this.
Me... easy going, sincere, cute, good shape, smart, white, blue eyes.
You... easy going, sincere, cute, good shape, smart, whatever skin color.
Please be in your 20's.

The idea of seeing porn in 3D freaks me out more than just a little bit...i guess i am just old fashioned and prefer my porn on the interweb.

The Stand Ins
I am hoping that this latest Okkervil River record will be the one that breaks through to EVERYONE. Sort of the way Modest Mouse did a few years ago with 'Good News For People Who Love Bad News'...Will Sheff and company more than deserve it. They have been making stunning, consistently great records for years...I hope this is the one that brings them to a wider audience.
Run out and buy the album tomorrow...it will make a perfect Autumn soundtrack...here is a tune from the new record, enjoy:

Calling And Not Calling My Ex
Here we have a contender for my favorite song title of the year. The song itself is pretty amazing too. Okkervil River's songsmith Will Sheff has an uncanny knack for being able to take a situation that ALL of us have been in and turn it into a hooky 4 minute piece of music. You really have to be in awe of people who can turn angst into infectious music.

Lost Coastlines
The music must never stop in Will Sheff's head and we are all better off for it. There is a new Okkervil River album slated for release this September, and 'The Stand Ins' seems to pick up RIGHT were 'The Stage Names' left off. There isn't a better place to take off from...in my humble opinion(I loved that record).
Here is a track from the impending album, and it's already becoming one of my favorite Okkervil River songs of all time....

The closet thing you will ever get from me resembling a Chrstmas song!
It has Christmas in the title...that counts right? Not a holiday song so much, but Okkervil River's 'Listening To Otis Redding At Home during Christmas'(off of the 'Don't Fall In Love With Everyone You See' LP) is still a great song.
And it borrows the chorus from my all time favorite Otis Redding song, 'I Have Dreams To Remember'...so it gets major bonus points from me.
Enjoy your audio Xmas card.
