The Third Day of Christmas 2008

the-death-set

Roll up, roll up! Yes, folks, it is no less than the third installment of this nano-epic retelling of the tunes that 2008 provided us with. On today’s menu, we have a couple of Irish artists in Carly Sings and Chequerboard, not to mention some old friends in Cat Power and The Constantines.

However, pride of place has to be given to Chad VanGaalen, who brought out one of the best albums of the year and Baltimore’s The Death Set, who performed like their lives depended on it in Crawdaddy back in the summer. The fact that there was only a handful of people there to see them made no difference whatsoever to their hyperactive set.
