Cribs?! Gross. Really? I want my Mtv! Or do I? I know folks have a hard time believing in Devendra but, I like that he has built a family of musicians to help him create is vision.
My goal in 2008 is to see JUSTICE live. Cross digits

Great picks!
Justice is my favorite this year.
I have to disagree on the devendra pick though. Did you get to see the Cribs episode with him?
