Other Music of 2008

So what other music have I been buying besides last week's favorite?

• Joe Satriani, "Professor Satchafunkilus and the Musterion of Rock"
• Moby, "Last Night"
• Sigur Ros - "Meth suth i eyrum vith spilum endalaust"
• Zero 7 - "The Garden"
• Violent Femmes - "Add It Up (1981 - 1993)"
• Portishead - "Third"
• Thrice - "The Alchemy Index"
• Godspeed You Black Emperor - "Slow Riot for a New Zero Kanada"
• Mogwai - EP+6
• Godspeed You Black Emperor - "Yanqui U.X.O."
• Moog Cookbook - "Plays the Classic Rock Hits"
• They Might Be Giants - "Here Come the 123s">

You can see a fair amount of variation in there. Some of those are the latest albums from groups I collect. Others are me catching up on stuff I wish I'd found years ago. All that stuff from Thrice is based on a recommendation; it's worth a listen, but it's not something I'd normally buy. (It's actually four mini-albums based on the four classical elements.) The Violent Femmes collection is just something I should have bought years ago. The Moog Cookbook is something I've been searching for; I loved their first album. Godspeed You Black Emperor is probably one of the most interesting groups I've gotten interested in in the past year.
