The playlist from this show is online for your musical pleasure.

The creative co-conspirators behind An Event Apart 2008 are pleased to share our interstitial playlist with you, via the music preview magic of iLike.com.

Note: One of these songs has nasty lyrics. A “clean” version is used at the show but iLike's playlist preview mechanism uses the original uncensored version. If concerned, please skip the preview of “So Fly” by Bobby Digital.
