Paste’s recent issue lists the Best of 2008 in films, music, and books. Like all “Best of” lists, they are conditioned by the reviewers, but PASTE nailed some albums for sure. Some of their tops in music include:
- Bon Iver
- Sigur Ros
- She & Him (the him is M. Ward)
- Fleet Foxes
- Death Cab for Cutie (Amazon has this album for $5 today!)
While you are looking for Xmas gifts, consider giving a subscription to Paste for any of your friends who are into thoughtful reflection on current film and music. I am still marveling at the issue on Violence.
