Hello, is there anybody out there?

Just nod if you can hear me...

Seriously folks, or folk, whoever looks at this thing anymore, I am trying to get some input for the astounding yearly LTME Most Essential Albums of 2008!!!! So far Ben hit me up with Little Wayne, an album I don't even care for. Where my dogs at?

Just throw some stuff at me and I'll run from there, pretty easy task to ask.

LTME loves you, but he needs to feel the love as well.

Here are a few albums that I liked, with the caveat that I did not follow music all that closely this year:

a. Pete & the Pirates- Little Death
b. TV on the Radio- Dear, Science
c. Santogold- s/t
d. Deerhunter- Microcastle
e. Dept. of Eagles- In Ear Park
f. Flying Lotus- Los Angeles
g. Gang Gang Dance- Saint Dymphna
h. Broken Social Scene Presents...- Something for All of Us.
i. Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson- s/t

These were all good, but not really revelatory. I liked the new Beck, My Morning Jacket, and of Montreal albums also. I'm looking forward to checking out everyone else's recommendations.

was Iron and Wine new this year?

"The Shepherd's Dog" by Iron & Wine was released last year, but it's a damn good enough album that it should count for two years.

Great album.
