[RTS] The Noughties: An Overview (pt. 9: 2008)

So! Did 2008 live up to my theory of years ending in 8's having awesome music? Well, er...not as such. Lots of good stuff, but as I'd said in the last TN:AO post, it seems that around 2007 I'd started backing away from music again and focusing on other things in my life. I suppose that's a good thing in certain ways--it certainly means I'm no longer so obsessive about music as I once was. Lots of things going on this year, personally and politically which took up a lot of my time. On the other hand, after putting this list together, there were a lot of good songs that popped up...perhaps, like 1988 for me, it'll become a great year for music in retrospect. ;)

With that, 2008's cool music below the cut. Surprisingly, I was able to embed most of them this time out!

Coming up tomorrow...best of 2009! :)
