The Bowery Ballroom is a legendary club in downtown Manhattan—a dark, red-lit space that usually fills with sweaty rock fans jumping and cheering on their favorite bands. Recently, it was also filled with rock fans, but this shaggy-haired, skinny-jeaned crowd was amped not only for the string of performers on the line-up (including indie favorites OK Go), but also because it was the eve of Super Tuesday, when 22 states nationwide held their primaries for this year’s presidential election.

So it’s finally 2008 and we all know what that means: New Year’s resolutions, winter vacation winding down, the college and NFL football seasons at an apex…and, of course, the prerequisite “Top 10” lists of what to expect in the new year. Forget "Best Of" and "Worst Of 2007," it’s officially ’08 and we couldn’t be kvelling more.
