Leftovers: Glide’s Top 20 Albums of 2008

Earlier today, our friends and partners at Glide Magazine released this year’s Glide 20 featuring their top albums of 2008. Most of my favorites have made honorable mention, but Invisible Baby, Magnificent Fiend and Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust would all be near the top of my list as well. Head over to the main site for the full list of Glide’s favorite discs of ’08.

Let’s take a look at what else is goin’ on around the ‘nets…

Finally, CBGBs remains controversial nearly two years after the seminal Bowery club closed its doors.  According to Ben Sisario of IHT, club founder Hilly Kristal’s ex-wife, Karen, claims she is the rightful owner of the business. She goes on to accuse her late ex-husband and their daughter, Lisa Kristal Burgman, of robbing her by hiding money from the sale of merchandise.
