Is it Too Late for a Best of 2008 List?

we're just shy of two weeks into 2009 so i hope these lists aren't too stale. my good friends over at Badical Beats put together not one but two Top 10 Lists (actually Top 11 including the bonus honorable mention tracks) for your download and listening pleasure.

not too long ago someone sent out a recommendation request in the electronica/ambient/trip hop genres so this may be right up your alley. Beans and Mikey put together two playlists from 22 of the best albums and artists of 2008 in what i would call the indie-electro-rock (indielectrock?) genre. there's some very fun stuff on this list that you may already be familiar with.
