Favorites of 2008
This year is going to it's end, so let's look back at the year we had. 2008 was a year of great debutalbums and EP's from young (female) singer-songwriters, but also had some awesome follow-ups. As always it was very hard to come up with this list of only 25 albums, but after some intense thinking and searching sessions, this, more or less, gotta be it! I also decided to make a little favorite-EP-year-list, since I've been listening to quite some of those as well.
I would love to see your lists in a comment!

Nice lists! The album as also the EP list are packed with indeed noteworthy releases. :)
A refreshing list, almost completely free of the common hype-bands! Merry Christmas!
I love your top album list for 2008, especially your top EP's. I have fallen in love with Civalias. I purchased it on itunes a month ago. You wouldn't happen to have the cover he did for Muse's "Starlight"?
What a list.. I found 12 of your favorite albums are also happen to be my favorites.
Among the albums that are not on your list, I'd pick Sarah Humphreys, Priscilla Ahn, She & Him, and The Ditty Bops.
Excellent choice! Really superb tunes there, all of them. Thanks!
Some great choices in your tops for 2008... and a lovely blog to boot!
Just saw Jill Barber last Friday at the Black Sheep Inn, and posted about it here, in case you're interested:
