Humorless music thread.
nice contribution

Cheap shot. I apologize.

Probably based on my fear of rating systems. I'm a numera-dummy.

Listening to the new Deerhoof right now. Liking it a lot. Nice to hear them with two guitars again.

A few off the top of my head:

Times New Viking - Rip It Off
The Music Tapes - Music Tapes for Clouds and Tornadoes
Abe Vigoda - Skeleton
Eat Skull - Sick to Death
No Age - Eraser 7"
The Barbaras - Summertime Road 7"

2007 was such a great year for music that I think 2008 has been kind of a year for collective breath-catching.

I saw Deerhoof last weekend. Fun band but there's only so much of that   one can take.

As much as I'd love to go with something super obscure/noisy/extreme, I gotta go with Velocifero by Ladytron for altogether best album I heard released in 2008.
