RARITIES BY THE BEST BANDS OF 2008-Part One

Here begins a series I’ll continue until the end of the year: Rare tracks by bands who I picked as being the best of this year (see “2008-Best” tab at the top of this site). You need to buy their records but, even if you do, you won’t find these cuts on them.

Dig it.

LES Artistes (grahm zilla remix)-Santogold (#3, Best album)

I’m On Fire (Bruce Springsteen cover)-The Gaslight Anthem (#6, Best album)

She Spitzer Swallows-AC with Client Number 9. If there were a best political single, this would surely be a candidate, recounting the Elliot Spitzer scandal with the appropriate level of humor . . . And crudeness. (#10, Best mixtape)

Joe Budden Dis-Jay-Z (#3, Best mixtape)

Hang Me Out To Dry (Cold War Kids Cover)-Kate Nash (#14, Best album)
