2008 in music by Zsenitan 12/27/2008, 1:02pm PST
This year featured many Zseni-favoring trend upsets! I was excited about it. Some of them:

1. Lansing-Dreiden is a great band as long as they call themselves Violens instead of Lansing-Dreiden.

2a. French and Italian white girls had the right idea in 80s, and they're probably having that same idea again right now. This idea is happily taking the place of the previous dominant musical idea (British and American white boys had the right idea in 1972.)
2b. Let's just listen to the theme music from Moonlighting on infinite repeat.

3. Soft, shimmery, jazz-inflected dance music is great!

4. So is real disco with strings and bongos. Hercules & Love Affair single-handedly bitchslapped the entire Italians Do It Better stable for failing to be gay enough this year.

5. Disco doesn't have to be afraid of metal and vice versa. This was the year of unthinkable hybrids, starring Genghis Tron with guest host Yngwie Malmsteen Remixes.

For me this was like one those magical years when people decide to wear tapestry vests and denim shirts with ruffles down the front, except at last it was also okay to layer the ruffly shirts!!! Except in music terms.

In this year's comp we have plenty of lipservice to the prevailing winds: Year's Biggest Winners MGMT get to appear here courtesy of a remix by a dude from Violens! Thanks Violens! Italo everything gets 1984's Heather Parisi hit Crilu`! Yes there's a Gang Gang Dance track.

What's not on here are all the albums that don't take well to having tracks excerpted from them on a compilation that is 125% gay disco. Honorary inductees:

Moonsorrow - Tulimrsky
Tehni - Maa
Praxis - Profanation (Preparation For A Coming Darkness)
Holger Czukay - On The Way To Normal
Dennis Wilson - Pacific Ocean Blue
Maserai - Inventions For The New Season
James Blackshaw - Library Of Echoes

I also listened to a ton of Aesma Daeva this year but I would never admit to it. So tacky!
