They don't have to be songs that actually came OUT in 2008, do they?

for you Ferraby fans, he did the songs/score for the movie i co-produced this past year.

which, hopefully, will finally get some distribution, maybe this coming summer.

it's a wonderful score. (i'd never heard his stuff prior to working w/him)

@Scurvy: No, just the ones that were the most significant to you in 2008. :)

@sex!death!robots!: Sweet! I love Tickets to Crickets. :D

@Garak: That's amazing! What's your movie called?

@Matthew: Who are these by?

last.fm says these are my top 10 played songs of this year, and looking it over i'd say it's a pretty accurate soundtrack:

REM - Half A World Away
Wang Chung - Dance Hall Days
Army Of Lovers - Crucified
All Time Low - Umbrella
Alkaline Trio - Warbrain
The Gaslight Anthem - Great Expectations
McFly - Town Called Malice
Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Dreaming
Suzanne Vega - 99.9F°
The Gaslight Anthem - Meet Me By The River's Edge

@cheap shot - it's called MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. coming of age drama-comedy. i wasn't sure at first, but Ferraby couldn't have been nicer to work with and his music enhanced our movie so much, i'm quite pleased. be nice if it gets released as an album, we'll see.
