Looks like I could learn a little from you friend. Since it's already April, I'm going to start on my Best of 2008 list. As for last year, Justice, Beirut, MGMT, and Radiohead are definitely worth a mention in my book.

Here's my extra-belated 07 top-10:

1. Radiohead - In Rainbows
2. Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago
3. Air - Pocket Symphony
4. MIA - Kala
5. The National - The Boxer
6. Les Savy Fav - Let's Stay Friends
7. Low - Drums and Guns
8. Animal Collective - Strawberry Jam
9. Yeasayer - All Hour Cymbals
10. Yacht - I Believe in You. Your Magic is Real.

Beirut should probably be in there. Whatever.

M83 is a sure bet for 08.

hey mr. glick, i don't think that bon iver record counts for 2007 since it was technically released or re-released on jagjaguwar in 2008. i mean, if ya had the entire record last year then i guess i'll give it to you but i just thought you needed to be called out on that one otherwise. haha
