Fennesz's 2008 release, Black Sea, is a gorgeous record that incorporates clear undisrorted guitars, drones of pure distortion, and interesting glitch hooks used in moderation.

Wrongest Record Review of 2008

Pitchfork's Grayson Currin pans Mogwai's instrumental The Hawk is Howling.

https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums...wk-is-howling/

Actually, it's pretty good.

Glad I could straighten that out.



More bands should stop wasting their breath.

wrongest pick for 2008 album of the year

Goofle with this ****ing garbage:


fun dmc by people under the stairs

Full of tracks that sound like filler for De La Soul or A Tribe Called Quest. And A Tribe Called Quest are overrated to begin with. People going ape**** over their crappy dullsville comeback are trying unsuccessfully to relive something that wasn't even that good the first time around.

Atlanta's Deerhunter's 2008 Microcastle is a fine example of shoe gaze. There's really nothing to complain about. A selection of subtle, enjoyable, melodic music. Deserves the praise it received.

2008 jazzman of the year was no doubt octogenarian Bill Dixon.



Dixon was to pass away two years later in 2010. Perhaps determined not to waste his final breaths he gave us an astonishing three masterpieces that were either recorded or released in 2008. All of this music is completely unassailable.





Bill Dixon with Exploding Star Orchestra (recorded in 07 released in 08)





17 Musicians in Search of a Sound: Darfur





Tapestries for Small Orchestra (Recorded 2008 released 2009)

OK I'm going to conclude my exploration into 2008. I leave you with the track Rosa Parks on Wadada Leo Smith's Tabligh.



What an amazing year!!!

Here's a record I'm happy to see still in print and available on YouTube and Spotify. These are recordings of music by practitioners of Santeria. Santeria is a religion that originated in the communities of West African descendants in Spanish speaking areas of the Caribbean. It's an offshoot of Catholicism highly focused on theatrical rituals centered around the worship of saints. Since spreading into the United States there's been some scattered controversy over animal sacrifices. American converts, especially white would be sheepshaggers, seem to delight in exaggerating the importance of goat heads and chicken blood. Animal sacrifice is a genuine part of the faith but I have my doubts about former surbanites dancing around like drunk blood soaked butchers. Leave the appropriation to Lisa Bonet, crackers.

Spoiler for album art:
