new years was one of the weirdest nights ever. and i just want to forget and leave kolding and on the same time i don't want to leave my apartment at all.

anyways...i've started the new year realising that i have to reconsider my top 10 of 2008. i had a minor discussion with A yesterday debating whether or not samamidon - 'all is well' was released in 2007 or 2008, 'cause he had it on his top 9. well...according to allmusic it's from 2007 but according to sam's own website it's from 2008. and which source is the most reliable ? the website! of course...i'm so sorry A...you were right! so...because i like the album pretty much it needs be on my top 10 and that's why i'm now presenting a new list of the 10 best foreign albums from 2008 without comments to the albums that's remained from the old list. this time it's for real. i promise:

10. tim ten yen - 'everything beautiful reminds me of you'

9. mogwai - 'the hawk is howling'

8. benni hemm hemm - 'murta st. calunga'

7. shugo tokumaru - 'exit'

6. death cab for cutie - 'narrow stairs'

5. samamidon - 'all is well'

i love it! it's so simple, well-arranged and beautiful. my favourites on this album must be 'saro' and 'wedding dress'. do yourself a favor and check it out! i know what my gift token to the record store is going to now...

4. the notwist - 'the devil, you + me'

3.fleet foxes - 'fleet foxes'

2. malcolm middleton - 'sleight of heart'

1. the last shadow puppets - 'the age of the understatement'
