End of the Year Music Roundup

NPR’s picks for best jazz albums of 2008

Kot and DeRogatis picks for best rock and roll albums 2008 (with podcast)

Rolling Stones’ Top 50

Me?

Best album I heard for the first time this year:Donny Hathaway Live (thanks Matt!)

Best 2008 Release: Randy Newman, “Hearts and Angels” (which makes me feel old) and/or Girl Talk, “Feed the Animals”. The new Beck album is growing on me and Erykah Badu’s “New Amerykah” is really soulful and smart.

Biggest 2008 Disappointment: Herbie Hancock’s “Joni Letters”. Get back in the game Herbie.

I think I like: Deerhunter’s new one. But I can do without the experimental electronic nonsense.

Best live show: Okkerville River at Postbanhof am Ostbanhoh (Berlin)
