Stereogum has created a clever Oscar inspired In Memorium video to pay tribute to those bands that left us in 2008. Unfortunately, due to WordPress’ settings, I can’t embed it in this post, but I can link you to it.

In Memoriam 2008
December 18, 2008Things Observed at a Mall Two Weeks Before Christmas
December 14, 2008*A cotton candy-pink haired old woman wearing a jacket with leopard print.
*A woman in a wheelchair passing a baby in a stroller.
*A laptop dj at Nordstroms, just one floor down from the piano.
*Cart vendors looking to push their wears with more intensity than usual. Tip: Avoid eye contact.
*A young man who came up to me as I was looking over a book and told me that he was part of this cool church and he thought I should join with him and his friends. I claimed that I was an Orthodox Jew, even though I was dressed in secular clothing and it was the Sabbath no less. He then left me alone.
