My Top 10 Austin-based releases of 2008

This list is totally subjective. It's not based on sales... crowds at shows... how many shows they've played.. nothing but my personal preference.

Who am I? Well.. I DO own an entertainment magazine in Austin and have been a freelance entertainment writer for more than a decade. So.. I know a little about music... plus I love the local scene in Austin.

So... here goes. In no particular order. I'm also not going to explain. The music itself explains. You should visit all of these Websites (link from the name of the band) and purchase these RIGHT NOW.
