Best of 2008: Johnny D's Picks Part 1


Cyrstal Castles: Crystal Castles
I'm sure that all the kids are listening to this.  I have no idea.  I don't talk to the kids.  But I was a kid once, or still am.  Let's play some Mario Brothers?

High Places - High Places
I don't like writing trite little blurbs, nor do I want to write long drawn out reviews that betray my illiteracy.  I like them a lot.



Marnie Stern - This Is It and I Am It and You Are It and So Is That and He Is It and She Is It and It Is It and That Is That
This Is It and I Am It and You Are It and So Is That and He Is It and She Is It and It Is It and That Is That.  This Is It and I Am It and You Are It and So Is That and He Is It and She Is It and It Is It and That Is That.  This Is It and I Am It and You Are It and So Is That and He Is It and She Is It and It Is It and That Is That.  This Is It and I Am It and You Are It and So Is That and He Is It and She Is It and It Is It and That Is That.  This Is It and I Am It and You Are It and So Is That and He Is It and She Is It and It Is It and That Is That.  This Is It and I Am It and You Are It and So Is That and He Is It and She Is It and It Is It and That Is That.  This Is It and I Am It and You Are It and So Is That and He Is It and She Is It and It Is It and That Is That.  

Babe, Terror - EP
Imagine being in a pew of a South American Colonial Cathedral, but instead of listening to a preacher, you see a soccer game, playing out around you in very very slow motion.


Gang Gang Dance - St. Dymphna
Tribal dance music.  Hits the floor sweaty and with abandon associated with dogmatic ullulations.  Dance and forget where you are.

Disclaimer, I don't actually listen to that much new music, so my lists are probably a bit on the naive side.
