Best Tracks of '08 (so far)

Sure, technically we are 59% of our way through 2008 so doing a 'halfway' check-in of the year's best tracks seems tardy. I'm going to argue the month of January, though 31 days, ultimately equates to roughly 8 or 9 days in the music blogosphere time-table, so I'm much closer to the 50% mark in reality. Anyways, here are my personal highlights:

Adele - "Chasing Pavements'
Beck - "Walls"
The Black Keys - "Strange Times"
Brendan Canning - "Hit The Wall"
Coldplay - "42"

DeVotchKa - "The Clockwise Witness"
The Dodos - "Fools"
Estelle - "American Boy (ft. Kanye West)"
