The BEST BAND OF 2008

I have found the most mind-blowing, devastatingly good band. Until now, 2008 was a bit of a lackluster year of music for me. Nothing new, nothing revolutionary.

Sure, there are guys like Sigur Ros to cheer you up with their invented language of gobbledegook, a mixture of Slavic and Icelandic influences. There is also Amy Winehouse, who brazenly steals from old school jazz and takes too much pleasure. I've gone back to old school indie, retro and 90s this year as well. 2008 was supposed to be Hotchip, who I saw in April here in Toronto.

DeVotchka ... just listen, ok?
This song is called How It Ends.



Tell me how it ends for you. I think its different for everyone.
