THE BEAT ORACLE

After our endless laboring, debating and reflecting on a year’s worth of music, it all comes to this. We’re closing out the year with a collection of tracks from some of our favorite albums of 2008. It’s been a great year back on the air, and many thanks to WCRS and all of our listeners in Columbus, elsewhere, and beyond. Below you’ll find our consensus “10 Beat Oracle Approved: 08 Edition,” as well as our individual recommendations and favorites. We’ll return on New Year’s Day with an intense mix of our favorite singles (12”, Remix, and non-favorite album tracks) from the year. So stay tuned for more “future music” in 09.
