What I meant was that I do quite like Fleet Foxes the album, but not particularly Fleet Foxes the band (e.g. I don’t see myself getting excited about their next album). And my fave track is ‘He Doesn’t Know Why’. And thanks for the plug!

I gotta check out some of James’ recommendations too. Horrorcore Irish rap!

Alec: I listened to them to and from work of course. Home is for belting TOO LAAAAAAAAATE!, not appreciating the finer points of layered bleeps.

Benny: As in you don’t like that particular Fleet Foxes song enough, or you think I should have included them in my album list?

Everyone should go read Benny’s list BTW, it’s way more interesting than mine.

James: I haven’t listened to the Walkmen since their first two albums but used to enjoy them when I was in a certain mood so I’ll track that one down, and also the nice mellow Dusk & Blackdown (for when Alec gets tired of nice abrasive The Bug).

I didn’t get very obsessed about anything in 2008. I’m listening to the freshly leaked Animal Collective album at the moment though and it’s the dogs bollocks.

No Age – Nouns (nice distorted rockiness)
Fleet Foxes – Fleet Foxes (could potentially get old very fast like Vampire Weekend, but I’m still enjoying it)
The Walkmen – You & Me (big improvement from the last album, which was rubbish)
Q-Tip – The Renaissance (positive hip hop, nice hooks, Tribe Called Quest-y)
The Bug – London Zoo (nice abbrasive dubstep)
Dusk & Blackdown – Margins Music (nice mellow dubstep)
Correkt Minds – Figure of Speech (horrorcore Irish rap)
Class A’s – The Drink Money Mixtape(silly Irish hip hop)

I'm on the same page as you on Portishead and Cool Kids, not quite on the same page about Fleet Foxes and totally annoyed that you still haven't listened to Flying Lotus!! Anyway I'm really only here to plug my own year end list. Click on link!

Eh? I’ve only heard one of these albums (Third) and even so I’ve only heard it once through. Were we living in the same house during the last year?
Seems to me that all we listened too chez Molloy was Back in Black (ACDC), Apologise (OneRepublic), Single Ladies (Beyonce or whatever the feck her name is now) and Low (Flow rida FT. T-pain).
