In leiu of an in-depth sum­mary of the year that was 2008 — 366 days of lous­i­ness I would never want to repeat again, if that’s alright with you, future-self-who-has-a-time-machine — the next few posts will be quick, short notes from my year. I’ll spare you the whin­ing, though.

Songs I Was Obsessed With In 2008:
Ben Folds — ‘Cologne’
Ben Folds – ‘Hiroshima’
Wicked Soundtrack – ‘Defy­ing Grav­ity’
Alpha­beat — ‘Fas­cin­a­tion’
Cold­play – ‘Viva la Vida’
Girls Aloud — ‘Can’t Speak French’
Keane — ‘Spiralling’
Estelle feat Kanye West — ‘Amer­ican Boy’
Duffy — ‘Mercy’
The Ting Tings — ‘That’s Not My Name’
Sam Sparro — ‘Black and Gold’
Leona Lewis — ‘Run’
Ale­sha Dixon — ‘The Boy Does Noth­ing’
Pink – ‘So What’

In sum­mary: I could pre­tend to be hip and obscure, but I am anyone’s for a catchy hook and a bit of repetition.
