Medium Fidelity Best of 2008

Check out Troy Reimink's Medium Fidelity blog where he asks local West Michigan folks for their best albums of 2008. Chance (Josh) was asked for his favorites of the year, as was Herm Baker of Vertigo Music. If you aren't buying your music from Herm, I don't know what to tell you. Please support Vertigo. If they don't have it on their shelves, they can order it for you, usually for a better price than you would find online. He also has the best selection of local music, including The Angel's Share, Daisy May & Seth Bernard, The Mighty Narwhale, LSDudes, Breathe Owl Breathe, and once upon a time, Zoozersadd.

Kevin Murphy, station manager of WYCE, had The Angel's Share listed in his top 10.

For posterity, here's Chance's top ten:
