Well then congratulations on a fantastic list.
#6 and #11 are definitely ones I have enjoyed this year. Frightened rabbit I am still catching up with but love it so far. I will also have to concede I have not listened to enough Basia Bulat. you and about 500 other people keep telling me I am missing out. So that will be next. nice list.
Now I can start purchasing this stuff for my iPod. Thanks!
