Believe it or not, the only 2008 album I've purchased is In Rainbows.

My 2008 summer album therefore has been a 1978 summer album--Some Girls. There is nothing wrong with a healthy dose of nostalgia.

My current "summer" album is Dennis Wilson's "Pacific Ocean Blue" - a beautiful and melancholic record, really moving stuff.

My other current summer album is the Ting Tings' "We Created Nothing" - I love "dancing" around at home to that.

Nothing new, but Head of David's LP album is soundtracking my summer big style!

The record of my summer will most definitely be J Dilla's "The Shining". It plays in my head non stop these days. Although, it was released quite a while ago.

m83's "Saturdays=Youth" and Lil Wayne's "The Carter III" have all gotten a lot of summer play from me.

track- donde está la playa

for sheer number of listens this summer it would have to be:

Even though it's almost ten years ago. I can't recall even buying an album this year that came out in '08

yeah, i've bought a few, but i just download stuff and only buy it if i think it needs a place in my cd collection. i only buy stuff that i know i want to listen to for a real long time now.

The new Sigur Ros album

For new music or new bands, I usually download first and buy when I get a chance to pick up or order the good ones. I've been unable to download, so I thinks that's what my issue it. Plus, I can't find any decent music shops that have anything I'd want to get.

i do the same for new stuff. there are some bands, though, like the silver jews or the walkmen where i know off the bat i'll most likely like it and buy it.

Yeah. There's a few bands that I will just buy without downloading.

Since this has somewhat turned into a "...what 2008 albums are good" sort of thread... here's a list of some of the 2008 albums I've gotten and think are worth hearing/having:

Animal Collective - Water Curses
Atlas Sound - Let The Blind...
Beck - Modern Guilt
Cat Power - Jukebox
Jim Jones - Harelem's American Gangster
Lil Wayne - Tha Carter III
M83 - Saturdays=Youth
Portishead - Third
Quiet Village - Silent Movie
Re-Up Gang - We Got It 4 Cheap Vol. 3
Sonic Youth - SYR7
Sun Ra - Some Blues But Not The Kind That's Blue
Weezer - The Red Album
Whiskeytown - Stranger's Almanac [Deluxe]

The deluxe re-release of this album has brought it back into listening circulation. NOVACANE! HIT THE ROAD! EXPRESSWAY! EXPLODE!

Modern Guilt, Red Album. I don't really keep current. I like for stuff to sink in for a while before I listen to it seriously.

All I listen to in the summer while I'm driving is surf music or john fahey-type stuff.

Ponytail's Ice Cream Spiritual, they RULE.

ahh, YES. i would kill to see them live.
