The Crystal Stilts are responsible for one of my favorite albums of last year. I hijacked this video of them playing Crippled Croon off of Pitchfork TV.
Vodpod videos no longer available.Because I didn’t have this blog at the end of last year, I thought I’d post a list of my favorite albums of 2008. I would probably rearrange the order and swap some out with other albums now, but I’ll post them as I did at the end of December.
