This stupid countdown is at its end

Here's some random sentences to keep you from seeing who the #1s are on that updates bar. BTW, I HATE MY LAPTOP? Never try and stream Twilight online, because my laptop has paid the price.

How about the new layout btw? Good? Bad? Downright disgraceful? 

So yeah, anyway

SONGS

1. MGMT - Future Reflections

So Bathroom Gurgle and Sweet Dreams Sweet Cheeks were admittedly above this in the first draft of my list, until I decided that they don't really count as 2008 songs. As a result, this has been left as my somewhat surprising favourite song of the year (AND DON'T EVEN START WITH THAT WHOLE "MGMT IS 2007" SHIT YEAH?), the album closer on the refreshing Oracular Spectacular. Can't really think of much in the way of description because it's getting oh so late, but the euphoria of the last minute of the song is exactly why this is so deserving of top place. One of many reasons. Others being that it does sound a bit Arcade Fire-ish at the beginning and basically that it's just fucking beautiful.

Oh, and speaking of MGMT ...

ALBUMS

1. MGMT - Oracular Spectacular

I know, I totally sound like I'm MGMT's bitch even though they are in no way my favourite band. However, there is not one imperfection on this album - it's truely flawless. From the familiar opening intro of Time to Pretend to the beautiful last minute of Future Reflections, they just don't put a foot wrong. And I know a lot of people think a lot of the album's filler, but when the worst song on your album (in my opinion, Electric Feel) is one of their most well-known and loved you know you're doing something right. Whether it be the insanity of 4th Dimensional Transition or the instantly memorable The Handshake, MGMT have provided an album of ten four minute masterpieces and is by far the Funeral of this year. 

I'm guessing the majority of people reading this probably get that Funeral reference, and I can't be arsed explaining so whatevzzz ...

K'bye
