Time, eh. It never stops. Obviously.
And so, as every new year comes round, so do the obvious standards. Albums get older, shows hit anniversaries, our heroes of yesterday get ever more grey and – y’know – ‘mature’.
We’re not immune to the hustle, either, Dear Reader. Mostly because it’s ten years since Alphabeat’s ‘Fascination’ got its UK release, and such things need marking. It’s a decade since MGMT dropped a whole slew of amazing singles, since some tyke named Adele arrived with her debut album, or since Vampire Weekend made their big impression.
Rather than bog you down with words, though, we’ve stuck a bunch of bangers from 2008 in a playlist, which you can listen to below. For the full effect, punctuate each new track with a cry of ‘bloody hell, I’m getting old!’
