Here they are! These are my favorite albums I discovered on the air this past year, doing my radio show every Tuesday. The genres are as diverse as my shows. I can't wait to see what 2009's got coming for us!
Happy New Years!
Cheers,
-Rachel

Fresh Tracks Best of 2008, 12.30.08
For my last show of the year, I brought back all my favorite albums that I discovered with you on the air doing my show in 2008. Some really great albums were released this year and although a few have gone "missing" from the radio station, I was able to fit most of my favorites into the show this morning.
The show this morning covered various genres in approximately this order:
- Instrumental hip hop/electronic/beats/new-disco (6am- about 7am)
- Indie-Folk/Rock/Softer tracks (7am-7:30am)
- Boppy/dancey upbeat indie-pop and rock (7:30am-9am)
You can check out the full playlist here.
And don't forget to download the show by next Tuesday!
I've also put together a "top 50 albums of 2008" list that I'll post later today.
Cheers and Happy New Years!

* Mascott/Art Project
* Tenniscoats/Tan Tan Therapy

Can you believe it's December already? Anyways, I hope you all had a great holiday!
Not a ton new this week, but I discovered my favorite track on an album I had previously overlooked a bit. Her Space Holiday's new release (XOXO Panda and the New Kid Revival) is so different from their previous one that I didn't give it a lot of attention at first. (I loved their 2005 release, The Past Presents The Future).
Anyways, I put the album on my ipod for the drive to Poughkeepsie, NY for Thanksgiving and it definitely grew on me. And like I said, I found my favorite track on there - The World Will Deem Us Dangerous.
So these are my favorites for the week:
* Her Space Holiday/XOXO Panda and the New Kid Revival
* Taigaa!/Off
