I thank you again for posting about the Duffy song a while back, so I could figure out who the hell that was. Haven't heard that Lily Allen yet, I like her so I'll check it out. And the Death Cab song you picked is one of the most hilarious creepy stalker songs I've ever heard. Well done.
Utterly delighted to see Ben Folds make your list. I love that song (love Ben Folds, too).
What? No HIM songs? Now, I am a Prince girl (grew up around the corner)...so I know good music...
Love the list! I'm going to have to look up a few songs that I haven't hear but for the most part I'm right there with ya! Happy '09!
Happy new year, Laura! I'll have to slowly make my way through this list. I find all my new music though end-of-year roundups. Seriously -- I just do it all at once, and my Amazon list is stocked for the next year. :)
gotta dig that Pinback :D Love-making music! oh, wait, is that just me?
You are my new favorite!
Love this list!
Happy New Year, L! :)
You do know how to party hard, believe me, if I were eating gluten-free pizza while reading that I would spew it out for laughing at that line! Love Paper Planes and thank you so much for the link to the Lily Allen song. Brilliant!
