Uhm, guys you know there is still like a month left in 08, right?

I still have a list of like 8 albums I plan on digesting before beginning to tab a list.

My list felt fairly complete a couple of weeks ago, but now there's two new albums that have made a huge impact on me. No doubt I'll go with my gut and give them ridiculous placements I'll want to renege on in a couple of months time.

Who the fuck is "Liffey"?

Dude, what the fuck, we get it. We can see their post count. We know he has 47 posts. If you want to know who he is, look up the posts.

We really don't need to hear this question everytime a lurker posts their lists. At least you left my wife alone when she posted her <100 list. She already probably posts less here because of people like you. Oh, wait...not people like you...probably just you in specific.

This needs to stop but Sausage can spam four pages of the entire board? Go get 'em, tiger.

[Bleep Blop]

Who gives a shit about post count? It's a fun thing to do on a public message board.

Yeah, definitely. Two wrongs DO make a right!

I guess you want to turn this into a three page dissertation, lol. Frumpy, pale Slackmo....er I mean the mod said "don't" and I obliged. But feel free to take up more space complaining about it than my posts actually did. Your responses are more thread consuming than a simple "who is?".

We need some Jay Reatard up in this bitch.

[Pavement Ist Rad]

I just wanted to quote it again but ruin everybody's fun. M83, whatever, good for them. Jay Reatard sings with a fake British accent, fuck him.

[M_Rots]

The Raconteurs - Consolers of the Lonely 10. Glen Campbell - Meet Glen Campbell

Let me know what the other three are and I can double check the eligibility. If they had any release in 2008 and didn't make our top 100 list last year, they should be eligible.

You can vote for Mr. Reatard in the singles and compilations polls this year.
