Just for fun, here's the tracklist for a mix CD I made and called “Songs I have loved in 2008.” Only a few of the songs (2, 4, 5, 8, and 13) are actually from 2008; it wasn't a big CD-buying year.
1. Wilco - Hotel Arizona
2. Lambchop - Slipped, Dissolved, and Loosed
3. The Flaming Lips - Waitin' for a Superman (Remix)
4. Anathallo - Red Plastic Globe
5. The Mountin Goats - Gojam Province 1968
6. Bonnie Prince Billy - Raining in Darling
7. Emmylou Harris - Pancho and Lefty
8. Megafaun - Lazy Suicide
9. Pearl Jam - Smile
10. Archers of Loaf - Underdogs of Nipomo
11. Guided by Voices - Learning to Hunt
12. Bruce Springsteen - Human Touch
13. The Prayers and Tears of Arthur Digby Sellers - Christmas Card to a Hooker in Minneapolis

thanks for saving my day william. i am going to make myself a just-took-my-finals-mix cd. you're a doll!
great list, william! i had no idea the prayers and tears of ads did a version of "christmas card from a hooker in minneapolis. where do i find it? and have you heard the neko case version?
Dave,
It's actually a response song, where the recipient of the letter in the Tom Waits song goes back to Minneapolis to try to deliver his response card…
It's on this year's Peace on Earth compilation, from the Hard to Find a Friend blog, and available over the internet for a very reasonable amount of money.
I've heard the Tom Waits version, but I'll have to look around for the Neko Case one.
