The 2008 Macbethy Awards for the Best Music I Purchased this Year

There are 3 categories to my awards this year: Fine, Great, and Best. Why? I couldn't be assed to think of anything else. And the winners are Fine, but I don't get the hype from Pitchfork division: Fleet Foxes , Fleet Foxes Fine, with some great tracks, but overall lacking something division: The Dandy Warhols , Earth to Dandy Warhols Great, new Canadian find division: Plants and Animals , Parc Avenue . Great, old Canadian find that gets better on each listen but everyone but Win Butler and I seem to really hate division: Wolf Parade , At Zoomer Mountain Best, Beck division: Beck , Modern Guilt Best, forgot that I had it, and recently rediscovered it division: Cloud Cult , Feel Good Ghosts All award recipients will receive one free dagger hallucination and a bar of soap.

2008 Most Listened to Band Awards recap

See the thing about LIVE blogging is that in order to relive a live experience, you have to scroll all the way to the bottom. Oh well. I have more later about the bands that I actually think should be honored this year, and not just listened to incessantly by me.

Last.fm: theorris shared Wilco

Hi there, theorris at Last.fm wants to share this with you: Wilco http://www.last.fm/music/Wilco --- theorris said: And the Number One listened to band of 2008 is Wilco! What? Wilco? I blame the incessant listening to Wilco in the Summer due to their concert at Red Butte Gardens. With 379 listens, they beat out beck by just about 80. If Beck had showed up, however, there would have been no contest. Same goest for The Flaming Lips. ---

Last.fm: theorris shared Beck

Hi there, theorris at Last.fm wants to share this with you: Beck http://www.last.fm/music/Beck --- theorris said: Coming in at #2 on "The Most Listened to Band or Musical Group of 2008" is BECK! A SHOCKER! BECK AT #2? Beck is currently #1 on Theorris's all-time play list, but takes second fiddle this year. The world is surely turned upside down. ---

2008 Most Listened to Band Awards

Ok, we're back, and the anticipation of who is Theorris's most listened to band of the year is rolling over the crowd. We've already had many top contenders taken out. Who will it be? WHO WILL IT BE?!

Edges of your seats!

Seriously, don't put your fingers around the edges of seats. You have no idea what other people have put there. Trust me. Back with more in a moment! Who will be the most listened to band of the year? Will it be Beck? Beyonce? Kid Rock?
