Hello MOG,
Not sure if anyone will get this, it seems these halls are rather empty these days. Not sure what to make of it all, although I feel a lot of it has to do with the holidays and that can take its toll on people. I just wanted to wish everyone a great start to the new year, with midnight approaching quickly 2009 is just around the corner. I also wanted to give my own list of favorite albums from this year, I figure it is that time of the year to make that list..........here it goes.
10. Giant Panda - Electric Razor
9. Old 97's - Blame It On Gravity
8. Port Obrien - All We Could Do Was Sing
7. The Kooks - Always Where I Need To Be
6. Dillinger Four - Civil War
5. Eli "Paperboy" Reed - Roll With You
4. Atmosphere - When Life Gives You Lemons
3. Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend
2. The Morning Benders - Talking Through Tin Cans
1. The Gaslight Anthem - The 59 Sound
There you have it folks, and I might add the Virgins album was a close 11. I wish you all a good night, and tip my drinks to all the moggers who are celebrating the same way I am. A song for the night, well it happens to be my favorite from the year. Let it carry you into the night in hopes that the next year is better than the last.

vampire weekend? ugggh
happy 2009 from the future!
I know, it kills me to like that album but I enjoyed it quite a bit
ah
well get yr 2009 list ready. The new Animal Collective=fantastic
well I just hope this next year begins with a bang, I felt like I had to wait too long to hear something really good in 2008
ah, well that's the way it is
Happy New Years by the way, hope the next year is good to you
the same to you, my good man
Happy NY to you too tripbro. Nice list, although many of those groups I don't know. Surprised The Virgins didn't make it into your top ten since you turned me onto them.
Happy new year Kev! No surprise with your #1 there.
August, they really should be in there, I hate making top 10 lists.
Dale, have a great new year as well! Cheers
Rawk: Thanks for your good wishes, coolio list, tender song choice, and another sterling year at MOG! The future can't get here fast enough tonight.
Yaaaay for the Gaslight Anthem!
And as for stepping into the future: yes, don't mind if I do. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year, Rawk.
All the best for 09!!!
it appears we've got a bit of comment spam, oh well, Happy New Year K and all of the best for you and yours :)
Hey. Happy new year! Someday I will make a list of lists I'll never make.
Happy new year, Kev! I don't know where my ears were this year: I've heard exactly one of the albums on your list (unfortunately, I didn't see the appeal at all, but it must be some blind spot of mine), and have heard only of half of the bands/artists to begin with!
Nice list, I am liking Eli "paperboy." Happy New Year and can't wait to use my coupon book at the Fetus.
I'm here! I'm here!
I mean, seriously...where else would I be?
So...Happy New Year to you too, Kevin. I was surprised (and pleased) to see the Port O'Brien album on your list. I saw them open for...someone (I think it was The Decemberists or Nada Surf) this year and loved them. Their album was one of my happy surprises of 2008.
So, here's to a quiet and happy and headache free January 1st to you and yours.
Allow me to add my slightly belated best wishes for a splendid '09, friend....
Happy 2009.... I have to admit that I am late on the The Gaslight Anthem album but it's been on my radar since I had it played for me in Finland last Oct.... I must give it a couple of more listens.
I LOVE that you posted yout list! I hadn't heard of Gaslight Anthem OR Giant Panda! Happy Niner Rawk!
Port OBrien? Ok, now I've got to look them up. Is it just me or was there a vertible buttload of music to go through this year? Cheers! Enjoy your last few days before classes start again.
i dont understand why so many people dislike vampire weekend. i freakin loved that album.
Wow, Vampire Weekend was the only album on your list that I've heard. I like your tastes in music so I will look up some more from your list!
So many people are hatin' on VW cuz so many people like it. That's so 2001.
