Top most memorable moments of 2008
Watching Obama's Acceptance Speech.
Touring the Philippines.
Drinking on a hotel roof in Belgium with the Bouncing Souls.
Holding the limited version of our split with Envy in my hands for the first time.
Meeting MIMS after already having a "This is Why I'm Hot" potholder in my kitchen.

[Co and Ca]

geoff is the man!

"Holding the limited version of our split with Envy in my hands for the first time."
This reminds me so much of a Rickly having a child.

[ChrisSleeping]

Good dude.

Great List.

[Clark]

He has suprisingly good taste. Spelled "knight" in The Dark Knight incorrectly, though.

[hockeyguitar99]

Xiu Xiu album is under appreciated. Good album.

[piglet]

Raein <3

[bootsydan]

Better taste than I would've thought. Stoked that he has Angus & Julia Stone in there (although I think there album came out last year? Maybe that single was this year)

[Domenic182]

I bought Aggression and still have yet to get into it.

its defiantly the best hardcore release of this year. i like it better than have hearts or ctp.

[ffadam]

Verse is the second best hardcore release, I thought Have Heart just edged it.

[ACA]

Expected The '59 Sound to crack into that list.

[TMS2787]

Glad to see Geoff's list here, cool stuff.

[lbc182]

Meeting MIMS after already having a "This is Why I'm Hot" potholder in my kitchen.

[songydarko]

Manchester and Santogold, verrrrry gooood.

[pinklipgloss]

Fuck yeah for including touring the Philippines in his top most memorable moments.

[Jason Tate]

I'm glad to see someone else saw Red Belt this year -- I thought I was the only one.

[humanafterall]

Dude has good taste.

[mickmadethelist]

Verse is the second best hardcore release, I thought Have Heart just edged it.
I love have heart...dudes remind me of american nightmare. but verse was also great from what I heard.

[WakingTheMisery]

Old Wounds is fucking awesome.

[TheBaroness]

its defiantly the best hardcore release of this year. i like it better than have hearts or ctp.

agreed

[toddc]

very good call on having "i can feel a hot one" -- such a beautiful song.

[InaGreendase]

I could've sworn Raein broke up. Some of their stuff is so stupidly good.

And what the hell is CTP?

[Geoffthurs]

Raein back together in 2008 dawwwwwwg!!!! haha

[Geoffthurs]

Also, I'm an idiot: The Gaslight Anthem (my boys from way back), Astronautilus(better than breakdancing on the top of the Statue of Liberty), and The Foals, Antidotes(does anyone know them? one of the best bands[instrumentally] I've heard in a long time). All left off out of carelessness and pressure!!!X-)

And... Yeah... the Dark Night is the porno based on the Dark Knight.
