Gamma Ray - BECK
The great Beck released another great album during this 2008. Modern Guilt was produced by himself and DJ Danger Mouse. This track is an example of that powerful collabo.

The first of many songs use by Apple for their gadgets' advertising campaigns. This one is from this complete unknown Israeli - French singer-songwriter. Yael Naim rose to worldwide fame in 2008 thanks to this track.

93 TIE
This position is tied by 2 songs that I have played in my ipod several times during 2008. Especially when I feel so vulnerable and lonely.
Vive Solo - JUANA MOLINA
Imagine if Tina Fey quit comedy and sang electronics-based folk songs.That's the path Juana Molina took more than 10 years ago in her native Argentina, leaving her job as a TV comedian to pursue experimental folk. Her fifth disc is her most adventurous, combining avant-garde vocals with the atmospherics of Portishead and My Bloody Valentine. With looped guitar, hypnotic percussion and a bit of feedback, the title track sounds like two songs playing at once.
Like Brian Wilson or Kevin Shields, The Latin Bjork pulls off the most out-there material with melodies nearly as accessible as conventional pop.

Take me home - THE GILLEMOTS
Beautiful tune by one of my favorite british bands from the last 5 years. Is the kind of song that you wanna hear when you are in a big celebration scene and all of the sudden you feel that you don't belong there or simply you are not in that happy state. You just want to sit, relax and see your loved ones. This was my 2008 Christmas and New Year's eve theme song.
OMG!! I'm such a drama queen!! LOL!!!

Just Dance - LADY GAGA FT. AKON & COLBY O'DONIS
This song has been around in the charts for more than 6 months!! I remember that the first time that I hear it was when the Gaga lady perform for the Miss Universe event.

The song rocketed up the worldwide Top 10 charts in late 2008, got a Grammy nomination for Best Dance Song and became the everybody's jam during the last hours of 2008.
"If you've ever been so high that it's, like, scary, the only way you can deal with it is not deal with it, so you just kind of dance through the intoxication. I wrote the song the day after I had just flew in from New York to L.A., so I was taken very quickly out of my party lifestyle. I wrote it instantly—like it flew out of my body. I'd been working on this album for two-and-a-half years, and I was at a crossroads with my songwriting. I was trying to be so cool with my own music, but I would get better responses when I would write for other artists because I was not trying to be cool. So when I did "Just Dance", that was my way of being like, "just fuckin' write a good song. Stop worrying about what's going to fly in the underground. Worry about writing a great record." Actually, that record ended up being more powerful than any of the songs that I racked my brain writing, and after that, it was an influx of record after record. It was almost like a switch went off in my brain, and I figured out how to write a good pop song"
