To alleviate the pain of reading yet another “best of” list, the good folk at Stereogum salute 2008 with a tribute to the bands that have passed away…
Black and white montages are sound tracked with swelling strings and reverent applause like the “In Memoriam” portion of The Academy Awards. Except instead of honouring 90 year old screenwriters you’ve never heard of it’s Wolfmother, Be Your Own Pet, Junior Senior, and Dirty Pretty Things. You will all be missed (sort of).
I know who I’ll miss most. Rest in peace Phantom Planet. Rest in peace.
