Mountain Goats – Heretic Pride

Mountain Goats - Sept 15, 1983 (mp3)

Okay, 2007 was a terrific year for music and admittedly I was a bit nervous about 2008. I mean 2007 had a ton of great releases and so many memorable albums that I kind of figured 2008 would be a slow year. I couldn’t have been more wrong. So many promising albums are going to be released this year that I dare say it could rival 2007. We have compiled a few releases we are really looking forward to. The good thing about this list is that it only covers albums released in January and February. If the first two months of ’08 are any indication we are in for quite a treat all year long.

Have an album you are super excited about? Let us know.
