Loading ...As you may have gathered, I’m raring to close the book on 2008, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t run down some of the site’s highlights during what was a pretty dreary year overall. After the jump, behold a pretty subjective top 12 of the year (thanks to our technological limbo I can’t run any sort of numbers, but I think this list accurately captures the best moments we’ve had during a long slog of a year). And of course I’d be remiss if I didn’t thank all of you for coming back, reading, commenting, and pointing out when I get shit wrong (which is too often). If you think I got this list wrong, feel free to abuse me with compliments in the comments section!

Nickelback’s Chad Kroeger Gives Us One More Reason To Be Jealous
Mon Mar 10 2008 by Christopher R. Weingarten
Everyone knows Nickelback sucks dicks. But did you know lead sensitivo-mook Chad Kroeger used to be able to suck his own dick? And would do it for little more than a case of warm Miller Lites? Hey, I’m cool with it as long as someone else doesn’t have to touch that thing. More »
The Future Of Music Videos: Do We Really Want To See Kid Rock’s Pit Stains In High-Definition?
Fri Jan 25 2008 by Jess Harvell
As many of you already know, American television is going entirely high-definition* digital in 2009, which now means the opening half of this sentence has nothing to do with the technology of high-definition TV’s promising us a world where we’ll be able to count the nose hairs on our favorite stars in real time and without the aid of gossip blog paparazzi snaps. Maura recently converted to HD herself, and though certain music videos (she cites Justice’s “D.A.N.C.E.” as an example) look totally rad, the drawbacks of this industry-wise format change are already becoming apparent to music fans. It’s all good when it’s a luminous Rihanna strutting across that expensive plasma flat screen, but what about being confronted with Rascal Flatts at a resolution the human psyche was not intended to process? As we await our blemish-filled immediate future, please help us decide which musician will prove to be the least HD-friendly when the clock strikes midnight on Dec. 31.
Which Musical Metrosexual Can’t Stop Getting His Nails Done?

This is probably the silliest Idolator blind item poll in an illustrious history of silly-ass blind item polls, especially since male beautifying is no longer so verboten as to be shocking. (I’m even shaving more than once a month now. Up next: ironing my shirts.) Nonetheless we must scratch our heads as we wonder: “Which macho crooner secretly loves manicures and pedicures? The ladies’ man pretends he’s off to the gym whenever he’s going to get pampered.” Admittedly it was the “macho” part that initially threw us, as it 86’s about 95 percent of the XY chromosomes currently clogging Billboard, but we think we’ve come up with a few distinct possibilities and a couple of outliers.
