Last minute 2008 album purchasing- list-making obsessiveness
Does anyone else have an influx of 2008 (depending on the year you are in at the time) album buying towards the end of the year? I'm just on a big intake of extra 2008 stuff before the year is out. Just so that when I compile my list of favourite albums, I'll be able to be more confident that I have got what I love on it. Plus, I make a compilation cd that I give to friends of my favourite 2008 songs, so it's an extra incentive to buy a whole heap of stuff.
End of year time is also great in seeing other lists to suddenly discover some albums you may have missed. So whilst I disapprove of lists being created early (still so much to discover!), it does help me in my searches. Emusic has also helped to add to the great amount of albums I have been getting/gambling on too.
Anyhow, some 2008 albums that I have bought in the last two weeks:
The Nurses, Fujiya & Miyagi,Gentleman Auction House, Hospital Ships, Grouper, A Weather, Misophone, Okay, The Accidental, Marching Band, Angil + Hddntracks, Jacaszek
& I have recently ordered/waiting to be posted to me:
Welcome Wagons, Finn, Hauschka, The Miserable Rich
and am looking out for/contemplating other bands.
Anyone else have a similar end of year jolly time? Or are other folk too cool/sensible to worry about such?
