Happy New Year!!! Took the opportunity on today's show to run through some of my favorites from 2008 (in no particular order) and next week Carl will do the same. This is just a small sampling of some of the things I enjoyed. If I had more time I would have loved to delve deeper into some of the re-issues I discovered. Also, I should have played something off of Hairdryer Peace by The Hospitals, but I thought after some late night New Year's partying this may give some people the head spins and cause some gastro-intestinal upheaval. Maybe next time!
