Raised At Gunpoint: 2008 Round Up..

So after a brief holiday hiatus of booze and drugs, it's time to fuck with that reality shit that Hollywood's been going mad over.. Here's a few lists that I felt the need to get out my system.. So half these albums I'll deny I ever liked in 6 months time but by then this blog probably won't exist anyway. If you want bullshit opinions about each one then go to Pitchfork or something because music is a sacred thing that shouldn't be debated or picked apart by close-minded vultures (Basically, I really can't be fucked)
