I know what you're saying: It's not even December yet! But in the spirit of year-end goodness, which, as you may have noticed, we were all about this past week on the website, I thought the time was right to lay out some underappreciated gems of 2008. These are albums you won't find on our list or, very likely, many others, but they're completely worth your time. Have a listen and leave this blog post with a new recorded obsession:

Now that the dust-up with Sonicbids is taken care of, CMJ 2008 looks like it'll once again be one of the biggest and best music festivals in the U.S. this year. This in turn raises a bigger issue: all those poor performers gamboling about in canvas sneakers and relentlessly hip wool jackets are going to need a place to take refuge from New York City's merciless mid-October weather. Here at Paste, we think there's a better way. Your humble servants, in conjunction with KCRW Radio and Indie Outlaw, will be hosting the inaugural CMJ Artist Lounge at this year's CMJ Festival in New York City.
