Lotus at Rothbury 2008 - the amount of energy in that crowd was unbelievable

Classic Album or Artist You Discovered This Year

Renewed appreciation for Kraftwerk and Neu!

Best Film You Saw This Year

I guess its technically from 2007 but I'm still going with No Country For Old Men. (I don't see too many new films). I guess I'll add Dark Knight since it came out in 2008.

Favorite new gadget, technology, site or application you can't live without

TS9 - Turbo Screamer distortion pedal (with 808 mod by Analog Man)

Artist You Are Most Excited About In 2009 (any medium)

Fleet Foxes will continue to become (deservingly) huge. I am hoping for a new Built to Spill album in 2009.

Your Latest Guilty Pleasure
