Quest’anno ho ascoltato pochissima musica “In vendita”: non ho più seguito per professione le nuove uscite, non più di tanto perlomeno, e mi sono apertamente consegnato al mondo sommerso ma quantomai variegato e stimolante della musica distribuita gratuitamente e legalmente su più piattaforme.

Il tutto sempre alla ricerca, da un lato della next big thing, dall’altro del modello di distribuzione musicale digitale più convincente.

Il buon Stereogum mi viene incontro, riproponendo le classifiche della musica migliore pubblicata nel 2008 secondo due autorevoli testate musicali: Mojo e Uncut.

Non faccio altro che riproporvele: magari vi siete persi anche voi qualcosa.
