I've seen this album referred to as this a couple of times. The album is called Lust Lust Lust. We are people calling it Lush Lush Lush?

Seems cody's list is full of incorrect titles/artists and misspellings. I tried not to bring out the red pen, but the list is hard to look at, especially the inconsistent uppercasing of letters:

i'm Sure He is very, Very sorry For All of That.

I've been listening to Cat Power - Jukebox a lot more now since it's release, and although I didn't think it was as weak as the majority were suggesting, as a second covers album it may have turned some off after the amazing The Greatest came out. I think those who thought this should give it a few more spins this summer, as it fits more as this season passes. Lots of fitting songs and the songs suit her strenghs. If you have the deluxe album, the bonus songs may drag the listening out, so try focussing on the main 12 tracks...you may enjoy more.
Still in my top 12!!

I'm so on and of with Neon Neon. Girl Talk gets added. I'm still unable to make a top 20.

No Fleet Foxes close to top 20? Interesting...

My list has changed 3 times since I posted this . And still no Fleet Foxes. I just don't find them as magical as everyone else is. Although, I have only heard the album 2 times. Last year The National and Sunset Rubdown were growers on me, took about 3-5 months after their release date to "hit" me.

08 has been so weak, fleet foxes, no age, and vampire weekend is all ive found thats top 10 worthy so far this year.

Even Pitchfork has had plenty of stuff to check out. Really, one's enjoyment of music is directly related to how hard they look and how open minded they are.

Vampire Weekend shouldn't be forced into anybody's top ten.

i suppose, last year though there were soooo many good if not great albums, this year there definitly is no great albums and only a few good ones imo. wolf parade for me was a huge letdown...o well, still have a few interesting releases (of montreal, okkervil river, my top 2 last year) coming out later this year.

I think the problem for me has been there are too many good (not great albums) and almost no let-downs. This makes crafting a list difficult, since there are probably 40 albums that I all like a lot, but only about 7 albums I love.

I think it's because '07 started off so strong. '08 will end strong. Don't worry people, we're still waiting for:

The Cure
The Postal Service?
Of Montreal
Antony and the Johnsons
My Bloody Valentine?
Brian Wilson
Annie
Patrick Wolf?
Lilly Allen
Junior Boys
Deerhoof
I'm From Barcelona
Conor Oberst

I heard that The Postal Service album is dead. Maybe they will start it up again, but Gibbard is full time promoting "Narrow Stairs" and touring for Death Cab.

Like totally dead or 2008 dead?

Add Blitzen Trapper to the list!!!

September 23rd!!! Furr will be released on Sub Pop! Can't wait!

September is going to be awesome, once again.

well, it's the next Chinese Democracy....

Vamp Weekend and Fleet Foxes are among the best that 08 has to offer.

They wouldn't have made it into my top 20 last year.

Like totally dead. I will try to find the interview that he said it in, but I think it was on Daytrotter or AV Club...

I think the quote was, "don't hold your breath." He's busy with Death Cab, so even though he and Tamborello are still shooting things back and forth occasionally it is hardly his first priority.

"It could come out, or it could not."

anybody heard anything about a tv on the radio album in 08?
