audible vitamins

I hate to take another break so soon, especially right after the new year, but life intervenes. My daughter’s having surgery this Tuesday to correct a fairly serious, but not uncommon, condition so my focus will be elsewhere. I ask that you please keep us in your thoughts and, to help in doing so, I’ve decided to post one of her most favoritest songs today. Let the good times roll, indeed.

As always, thanks for listening. Be back soon.

My Favorite 2008 Vitamins- Part Two

- S. — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 06:00:39 +0000

In lieu of a “best-of-2008″ list of albums, I decided that I would go back and compile my favorite Vitamins from the last year that were actually released in the last year. As you can probably tell, staying on top whatever’s hot in the blogosphere isn’t very high on my list of priorities. I’m not interested in being part of the movement that breaks the next Clap Your Hands or Vampire Weekend (not to take anything away from either band, I like them both). I just post whatever happens to tickle me that particular day and if it’s hot off the presses, so be it. So, I thought a list like this would be a good gauge of the new music I was listening to this year.

I whittled it down to 32 tracks, the first 16 were published yesterday, the second 16 are below. They’re listed in alphabetical order and link back to the original post. And, lastly, there’s a .zip file down on the bottom for your downloading (and in some cases, re-downloading) pleasure.

Passion Pit – Sleepyhead
Plants & Animals – Bye Bye Bye
Quiet Village – Circus of Horror
Santogold – Lights Out
School of Language – Disappointment ‘99
Sigur Rós – Inní Mér Syngur Vitleysingur
The Billionaires – Eighties Movies
The Little Ones – Tallies
The Night Marchers – Bad Bloods
The Walkmen – In the New Year
The Week That Was – The Good Life
Tim Fite – Big Mistake
