Rodeo Roundup of Favorite Songs Posted This Year.

 A friend asked if I was going to do a "Best of '08" list and I told him that I don't usually do these things. For one thing, I tend to post a lot of music that is either pop, mainstream (and hence played out by year's end) or songs that are more than a year old. So rather than calling it a best of '08, I'm calling this the accurately and glamourously named "Rodeo Round-up of Favorite Songs Posted This Year Period."

(What's that? Why the "period"?  Ummm, it's called an 'Element of Style.' Duh, Vance. Look it up.)

I'd also post MGMT's songs (and Cut Copy's! Beck and Hot Chip!) which were my true favorites of '08 (along with Brit Brit's Womanizer and Lollipop by Lil Wayne) but don't want to risk sounding like a 14 year old girl. Well, more so than usual that is...

The Top 5: Gnarls Barkley Going On, Beach House Gila, Lykke Li I'm Good I'm Gone, Liam Finn Second Chance, The Raconteurs Many Shades of Black, TV On the Radio Golden Age, Emmy the Great Where Is My Mind, Annie Girlfriend, Vivian Girls Where Do You Run To, Laibach Rossiya, Grizzly Bear He Hit Me, No Age Eraser, The Muslims Extinction, Julian Nation Linda Linda, Sam Sparro Black and Gold, Womack and Womack Teardrops and Weezer Ms. Sweeney mp3s were all here.

Good list. I'm especially a fan of your stylish title. Of your top 5, I haven't ever even heard of Beach House, so I'm gonna check that out. Thanks!

P.S. I sound like a 14 year old girl a lot, too...and I'm a 30 year old dude, so, whatever sista!
