Oh fuck, Sissy Wish! And I left Fall Out Boy off completely. Not sure how that happened! I mean, seriously. They needed to be in artist of the year, but somehow PATRICK WOLF ended up in there instead? OMG. I hope my tracks list isn't too trite -- it's totes from the heart.
Anyway, I'm actually more pleased with my commentary than anything else. I wrote it in my head whilst traveling yesterday and then remembered while at the mall (well, more specifically, hijacking the in-store music request system at Hollister to play nothing but FOB, The Format, Maximo Park and Ok Go for a few hours) and made my mom rush me home to finish it (two hour time difference!!), only to discover I had until midnight. Meh! Anyway, mostly pleased, save for the weird FOB omission.
Also, I so have a semi-solid best of 2008 -- you ready?
1) Bellmer Dolls -- Beast With Three Backs (tent. title) 2) The Mountain Goats -- Heretic Pride 3) The new Shearwater record, whatever it may be called 4) Bon Iver -- For Emma... (Jagjaguar release)
etc.
Relatedly, I had a hilarious time listening to DeRogatis on Soundcheck today (thx to the magic of XM Radio). He namechecked the Idolator poll, and I shrieked: I AM VOTING IN THAT! My mom was so proud. Any way DeRo and I hated the same stuff, it was hilarious.
I'm sure I missed this, but why did Monarch change their name? Wye Oak is a terrible name. Seriously. I'm sorry, it is.
re: Beast With Three Backs. Yeah, it's gonna change -- that's just the worst one that was floated. I think it's hilarious, but that's just me, apparently!

Shearwater's album is called 'Rook'.
I'm hoping the Bellmer Dolls title does change. Ick.
