I have to tell you - I could probably pull off a top 10 of '09. That's a great idea.

Oh great Prophet, I beg of you; Please do a top 10 rundown of the year's most drugged out videos. Though I would find a 2009 rundown far more impressive

I dunno about these guys. I suppose it's fun music, but for my tastes it lacks edge and variety. I sense that people who like the novelty really like it, the rest of us could probably take it or leave it. Me? I'm gonna put on Men at Work's Cargo.

Y'see? This is why these damn fools need Canadians around. We should all be raging on prophet for being such a wuss and not telling us all about 2009. So what're the big music stories? Do Britney and I get back together? Does Genghis take up the pan flute? Does AC/DC pick up Paul McCartney as a new lead singer? Do Vampire Weekend stay in school forever? Oh yeah. And when will my CD player get fixed?

In reply to Brutally off-topic, I know

Yeah, Prophet. Where's the Can-con? You have nine more shots.

I'm a nationalist but not as cutting-edge as Quinn. My taste runs to Blue Rodeo, Cowboy Junkies, Barenaked Ladies, Sarah McLachlan and the vastly underappreciated Jann Arden. Not to mention Loreena McKinnitt and the country's unofficial poet laureate, Leonard Cohen. (Cohen won't be on the Top 10 list, since he didn't even cut an album this year. But what an astonishing body of work!)

I've shilled for homeboys Arcade Fire to friends and relatives, but have to agree with Quinn that they've been overhyped (not necessarily by them). Still, I like their recording ethos: they don't release an album before they are satisfied with it, routinely missing key sales periods like Christmas. That smacks of musical integrity -- or maybe they are just disorganized and lazy.

One thing, Prophet: If you can see the future, why are you touting the top albums of 2008? Tell us what's going to be good next year.

Did I say shot-gun? I meant pasties. Beans. Counter-tops. Whatev. Take me to the river. I've got a girlfriend, who's better than that. And she was. Burning down the house.

I love David Byrne. And I

In reply to You so do not get David

I love David Byrne. And I have found myself, living in a shot-gun shack.

It'll be an eclectic mix.

In reply to Welcome, prophet. All I hear

It'll be an eclectic mix. Not to worry.
