2008 Recap

With the end of 2008 there is the chance to recap all the interesting people, places, events, and anything else that has affected us in this past year. Many magazines, websites, and people make lists as a way to recap such as the 10 best albums of 2008 or top 100 songs of 2008, I've decided to just mention 5 things I can think of that were interesting from the last year. 1. Radio Soulwax: Part Of The Weekend Never Dies - This movie is just insane. The Dewaele brothers are bursting with talent and they surely know how to live an exciting life. It also gives you a good look at the electronic dance music scene and what the shows are like. Don't sleep on them in 2009. 2. Moving into the new house, everything has been great. If you haven't been by yet you should. The freedom that comes with your own home is incomparable, love it. 3. MGMT : Oracular Spectacular - Album of the year in my opinion. Still hasn't tired after extended overplaying. The live performances I've seen of them are always wild hopefully they'll continue to be excellent in the upcoming year. 4. Spending the last year with those close to me. My goal for every new year is for it to be better than the last and a few certain people helped make that true. Let's get it going again in 2009. 5. Barack Obama winning the presidential election, even considering myself a Republican, was the first time I can really remember in my lifetime that I was proud and inspired by our country. Hopefully it all works out and a change will be made for the better in not just the United States but the world as well. The time for us to solely think of ourselves before all is past and we need to function in a global community. Good luck to you all.
