Serendipitously, a few days after I did my post on the best albums of the year that have come out so far, Pitchfork has done a list on what to look forward to in the rest of 2008, and boy is it all-inclusive. I’m personally psyched for the new albums from Ratatat, Annie, Brazilian Girls, Chad VanGaalen, Missy Elliot, Of Montreal, Deerhunter, Fujiya & Miyagi, Re-Up Gang, and Clipse, and the Yo Majesty and High Places debut albums. You should check out the whole list here.
