2008 Music

[reldnahkram]

To date, I've obtained 35 albums in 2008. Rather than review them all, here's the list. Let me know if you want a review of an album and I'll see what I can do. Or if you want to know 'what the heck were you thinking when you got that' or something like that, feel free to speak up too. Heck, if you see a bunch of things on here and think there's something else I might like, that's welcome too. Bear in mind that some of these have received significantly more play than others, so I may need to go back and listen to something once or twice before getting back to you.

Oh, and one more thing. Even though I may describe music using a variety of genres and sub-genres, I only use very broad genres in my MP3 tags. The broad genre is what's attached to each album.

I love Vance Gilbert :) Any chance you could burn that for me?
