Joseph’s Top 30 or so songs of 2008

Hi I’m Joseph and I’m one of the owners of Home Slice. Besides trying to make Home Slice the best pizzeria it can possibly be, one of my other obsessions is with music.

For no particular reason I compiled my top 34 songs  favorite songs of 2008.  I only allowed one song per artist, which is agonizing.
