The 2008 Sweet Static Baker's Dozen

Another year has come and gone and despite my erratic posting tendencies another edition of the Sweet Static Baker's Dozen is here. This is not the best or greatest albums of the year. These are the albums that I found myself going back to over and over.

As in every other year on my radio show I will be playing a song from each album and then uploading the entire playlist as a zip file. The link for that is at the end. For now though in alphabetical order are my favorite albums of 2008.

Write ups coming soon. Just wanted the list of albums (and songs played on the show) online.

I had a bit of extra time so I also played Jenny Omnichord-Charlotte Or Otis from Charlotte Or Otis: An Album Of Duets which I loved but just didn't make the list.
