More The Big Pink music on iLike

DISCLAIMERS:

**The Big Pink was a last minute add because I haven't listened to the album, I just became cheesily obsessed with the song while watching the BBC series "Being Human"

**Sorry for the multiple embeds, had issues with the embedding!!

I hope you enjoyed this playlist and hopefully discovered something new to love! If you are on ilike, find me so we can share more music!

ODE TO '08

2008 has passed...

...another car passing, another series of lights and noise thrusting me into another season of the Jenn Show...thank you to all of the interesting characters who have made their cameos or ongoing roles...

To keep my priorities straight I am sharing some music! It feels like it's been forever since I've been to a show--it turns out forever was November! I was truly PO'd too because Beirut is sold out everywhere....thus forcing me to check all of my sites that are supposed to notify about these things...but I digress...I try to make an Ode to the last year CD for some friends willing to listen, so now that I know how, I've decided to share one virtually!! (Insert ooh's and aah's!) This version is true to albums that came out in 2008, even though my true playlist consists of more from 2007 and earlier, the point is to focus on the releases of the year...there are a few here I was/am excited about, but generally the brother and I agree that 2007 was a better year overall and 2009 looks promising. So here is the Top 15 + a bonus (one of my all time old school faves)!! The playlist can be played from my sidebar (in this post was just too hard to do) or just follow the giant link below!

 ODE TO '08

THE FULL LIST IS HERE!

ENJOY!

There were a few that I couldn't seem to get on the playlist from the iLike site: "Falling Down" by Scarlett Johanson, "Adrift in Space, or Whatever" by Electric President

And then the albums still needing to get proper attention: Lust Lust Lust by The Raveonettes, Acid Tongue by Jenny Lewis, Snake's Got a Leg by Sunset Rubdown, Saturday's=Youth by M83, Carried to Dust by Calexico, Arm's Way by Islands....and I'm sure there is more that my iTunes and 2008 has to offer...but I think I have babbled enough...hope it all goes down nicely! 

HAPPY NEW YEAR and all that jazz...
