With the increasingly dour news coming out of Washington today, I needed something music related to clear the mind. A mind laxative if you will. Plus, Chris’ eloquent post a couple months ago detailing the brilliance of Lil Wayne, inspired me to take a stab at creating a music post of my own. We'll call these the "OSS September Music Awards" or OSSSMAA for short.
Best chance at following Vampire Weekend’s meteoric rise through the blogosphere:
Best (and most confusing) trend in music:
Beach Boys envy
Fleet Foxes - White Winter Hymnal
Panda Bear - Comfy in Nautica
Beach Boys - Don't Worry Baby
Beach Boys - Don't Worry Baby
Best music search tool you don’t have yet:
Best online music promo:
Emusic (leave your email address in the comments section and I'll refer you... it's a win-win)
Best album receiving a 3.8 rating by Pitchfork:
Kings of Leon – Only by the Night
Best chance at alienating their fan base thanks to their most recent turd sandwich album:
My Morning Jacket – Evil Urges (just try and get through "Highly Suspicious")
Best album of 2008 that has no chance of winning an Album of the Year award:
TV on the Radio - Dear Science
UPDATE: I had the Young Coyotes video posted twice, and forgot to include the Panda Bear video. My apologies.

if Dear Science doesn't win a slew of end of year awards I'll eat my hat
I used your "ratings" in a recent music conversation to sound much cooler than I am! :)
Jason, I definitely agree. I probably should have labeled that one as "Best album that should win Album of the Year but probably won't". I think we all know the Jonas Brothers have that one locked down.
