I know what you're saying: It's not even December yet! But in the spirit of year-end goodness, which, as you may have noticed, we were all about this past week on the website, I thought the time was right to lay out some underappreciated gems of 2008. These are albums you won't find on our list or, very likely, many others, but they're completely worth your time. Have a listen and leave this blog post with a new recorded obsession:

All of you making the grand promenade down to the musical explosion that is the Austin City Limits Festival, be sure to RSVP to join Paste at our official ACL 2008 Kick-Off Party this Thursday, Sept. 25 at Emo's.

Thomas Function, the Alabama band that considers itself part of an ongoing "rock-n-roll renaissance," begins its fall tour next week. The band's debut, Celebration, came out earlier this year (it's quite good, if we do say so ourselves), and the guys are looking forward to the November release of a 7". Below are the dates, along with TF's new "Filthy Flowers" video—be sure to check out the band's Sept. 25 performance at the Paste-sponsored showcase at ACL. (Speaking of which, if you're going to be in the Austin, Texas area on Sept. 25, you should RSVP for the party, which will also include performances from Mates of State, What Made Milwaukee Famous, Bobby Bare Jr., Dan Dyer and White Ghost Shivers. Snap!)
