closing out the year with music and car repair

First, the Papyrus and the nonsense. For two years now, upon returning to the MARTA parking deck, my truck is seriously ailing, and required repair. Hopefully, this does not become as traditional or regular as Papyrus. This was on the car shop counter:

And now, just for Shlitz and Pickles, a best of list. This is my "best of" for albums released in 2008. The stipulations are one, it had to be a 2008 release. Second, I had to have it in my collection. Third, and most importantly, the album had to be good, listenable, and entertaining throughout the cd, greater than about 65% of the cd. That means if it were a ten track album, less than three or four songs would find themselves on the wrong side of the "Next Track" button. So without further (or any) adieu, here we go.
