Best of 2008

Best album: Q-Tip - The Renaissance

Don't listen to hip-hop nearly as much as I used to, but albums like this restore my faith every time.

Best film: Let the Right One In

See the original Swedish version, not the likely shitty American remake.

Honorable mentions: Milk and Bigger, Stronger and Faster

Best TV Show: The Wire

I don't follow any show anymore, because there is no point in watching television after The Wire.

I haven't read any books that were published in 2008, but The Night Gardener by George Pelecanos was the best work of fiction I read all year.

 

Since I rarely listen to new hip-hop and I've only listened to one 2008 hip-hop album I choose:

Paris-Acid Reflex

This album is RAW!!!!

Film: none. Haven't watched an new movies this year.

 

Best album: jah cure- universal cure

Best film: slumdog millionaire

Best TV Show: The Wire

Best book: shrugs

 

rayer:

 

I really want to see that movie....

 

Well this years DR WHO was excellent, so was last years, but i loved
(The Library) Episode this year.

And best New Comedy wasssss (How Not To Live Your Life), should post it in the funny ass shit thread.

 

Yey! I still haven't seen it, but I've read all his books. He is amazing, John Ajvide Lindqvist (the author..)!

Best album: Cobra charlie Allt jag lärt mig hittills, It's from 2007, but I didn't discover it until now.

Best film: I don't know, but I'm thinking that when I have seen Låt den rätte komma in/let the right one in, it will be that one.

Best TV show: Spooks, brilliant!

Best book> The girls from Riyad, because it opened my eyes in so many ways, and was still chicklit enough. And Pia Tafdrup: Över vattnet går jag. (Over the water I go), wonderfully written about the need to write and about poetry. Or maybe Anne Applebaums GULAG. Terrifying read.
