I find most “Best of 2008″ lists boring. Unless I actually like that person – I really couldn’t give a stuff what their favourite album or favourite movie was. I post those kinds of lists but I don’t expect people to actually care. There seems to be two reasons for me to look through these lists. One, to reaffirm my own opinions and two, to actually find new stuff. So this is a blog post dedicated to the search of new music and those blog posts that will help me find it.
