Hey all, I posted my list of the Top 20 albums of 2008 (plus the top five EPs) here. Feel free to eviscerate as necessary. Would love to hear what you felt were the best albums (locally) of 2008.

Just a few of my local favorites:
Metal Feathers - Self Titled (I think?)
The Cambiata - To Heal
Huak - Trajectory
Mt. Moon (led by Jakob Battick; you need to know about his music!) - A Burial in Seven Births
Phantom Buffalo - Take to the Trees
You have a good list there. Haven't listened to a lot of the bands listed, so if I have some extra money by some great fluke, I'll be sure to check them out!
And for best live act, I'd say The Baltic Sea. I was blown away by their performance at their CD release party at Space Gallery back in August.

I don't know Mt. Moon. I'll check them out. Thanks for the heads up.
If you haven't heard the new Cambiata yet, you're going to be psyched. Very, very good.

Sneaking in under the wire, I like "The Orchard" by Fire on Fire.

My favorite local albums from this year were totally Cougars Kill Cobras and All Night Chemist. Cougars Kill Cobras were a complete surprise for me. I've been looking for something to fill the void left by The Blood Brothers breaking up. As far as non-local, Q-Tip's new album is really good. And who could deny In Rainbows?

As far as non-local goes Department of Eagles' In Ear Park took the cake for me. Of Montreals' Skeletal Lamping was pretty awesome too. It got a lot of mixed reviews but from my own strange and skewered perception, the entire album as a whole made sense to me.
You can download the Mt. Moon album for free right here: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?yemx10zhuwb
It is completely worth the download time.
