I Am Kloot -
Ferris Wheel Fabulous exercise in less-is-more gorgeousness from these great Manchester wordsmiths. Quirkiness as well as romantic sentiments in equal measures
British Sea Power -
Waving Flags All pounding drums, bleak rockscapes and chanting choruses. Not sure I understand, but I still like 'em!
Mazzy Star -
Flowers in December The most beautiful looking/sounding woman in "pop" (FACT!!). That breathy style just kills me. For anyone with a soft heart....
The Wonder Stuff -
Hot Love Now! Those loveable stuffies .... what a great old band
Elbow - One Day Like This It
....best song of 2008, without a doubt
