More than half of 2008 is now committed to the history books and the Internet archives, so it seems a decent time for LWE to look back at what’s transpired so far. Each of LWE’s writers will offer their thoughts on a different topic prompted by the music/trends/sounds/personailities that have made 2008 memorable or frustrating. At the end of the week we’ll each offer our own lists of the top 10 singles of 2008’s first half, so stay tuned and make sure to let us know your thoughts on our recollection of the recent past.
