Fujiya & Miyagi- Lightbulbs, Man Man- Rabbit Habits, Beach House- Devotion, Rocketship Park- Off and Away. There are some more albums that we liked this year, but these are a couple of the stand-outs.

Favorite Song(s) of 2008

Aeroplane- Fujiya & Miyagi; This song isn't on their new album but when they play it live it is unreal.
Evident Utensil- Chairlift; Not the song from the ipod commercial, but better!
Crime Wave- Crystal Castles; Saw them late night at SXSW and this song blew my mind.

Your Personal Favorite On-stage Moment/Show of 2008

Rothbury Music Festival on 4th of July; The whole weekend was amazing but our show at 2am on the 4th was incredible; the energy level was like we were playing the main stage in front of 20,000 people.
The Speigletent in Dublin; This show was with Fujiya & MIyagi during our European tour with them. It was Saturday in Dublin and those kids were ready to party. Magical.

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

What should President Obama change first in 2009?

Socks, you can't be the leader of the free world with some stinky feet.
