The editors of Emusic recently released their top 100 albums of 2008. As exultant fans, we've noted the ranking garnered by a few of our favorite locals. Detroit Techno luminary, Carl Craig releases a collection of remixes and classic cuts, making Sessions an essential electronic album. Next, Folk-guistarist master Rodriguez, emerges from the shadows with a reissue of the 1970's classic, Cold Fact on the Light In The Attic imprint. This album features guitarist and once member of Motown's iconic Funk Brothers, Dennis Coffey. And finally, the young and talented Deastro, makes a remarkable finish at #2 with Keepers, his debut album on Ghostly International. Check out the entire list.

  2. Someone once told my wife that no good music ever came from Detroit. She asked him if he was kidding her. I don't think that she speaks with that person much anymore. Plus, I think he was kind of a dick. At the very least he was wildly ignorant. Yeah, I am fairly certain that he was kind of a dick!
