We here at Music Boxer aren’t above clichés and we certainly aren’t above taking the easy way out by compiling a “Year in Review” list instead of actually putting together a full column. But instead of doing a typical “Year in Review,” we are putting a unique Music Boxer spin on things with our own categories and awards.
So without further ado, here is Music Boxer’s look back at 2008.
