While the cinema industry has terminal cancer, music is getting better despite of the dead of the cd format and the success of the mp3 era. There´s hope after all. Because of that wish i want to share my top 5 albums of 2008. It is worth noting, as the homonym titles suggest, that three of them are first work albums.

Foo Fighters - The Missing Pieces
Kings Of Leon - Only by the Night
Glasvegas - Glasvegas
Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes
Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend

Actually, my favourite song of everytime.. in 1994.
I thought it was a different sound: Powerful heavy guitar chords linking with an original voice and emotive lyrics talking about The Troubles in Northern Ireland.

I remembered how the radio station used to play Zombie every half an hour those days. This enabled me to look into this conflict and its consequences. I guess this was the first time i realized about a conflict/War.. and i was about to vote

Got a haircut, got a silver tooth, gonna get myself arrested
Got some friends in my bmw, tryin to get themselves arrested

Like a mantra, i usually recite these verses everywhere since 1998.
It happens to me with a sort of songs that colonize a leading part of my brain.

in the bath, on the lift, i try to intone that narcolepsy one and then i often jump to this G&R tune i don´t know why.

Sick of this life
Not that you'd care
I'm not the only one with whom these feelings I share

Nobody understands, quite why we're here
We're searchin' for answers
That never appear
