Album of the Year So Far?

The folks over at Gorilla vs. Bear wanted me to contribute to their Best of ‘08 so far list and I’m having a tough time deciding. I’ll have to pick my choice later today, but here’s my longer list in no particular order:

Portishead - Third
Hercules and Love Affair
Deerhunter - Microcastles
Wolf Parade - At Mount Zoomer
Lil’ Wayne - Tha Carter III
Cut Copy - In Ghost Colours

Three of those I just grabbed in the past few weeks (Deerhunter, Wolf Parade, and Lil’ Wayne), but they are all really great. What have you all been listening to?

My little brother told me his picks would be No Age and Atlas Sound.

Also, my commercial of the year so far, hands down, is the new Diddy Burger King commercial, someone please YouTube that ASAP. Come on.
