merry chiestmas


Merry Chiestmas! For some reason my iPhone does not self correct "chiestmas" when I type it in, so Lisha has been wishing me a merry chiestmas ever since. Anyways, this took me a while to finish, but I wanted to leave you all with a list of songs that I loved this year. It is NOT a list of the best of 2009, this is just music that I found myself listening to. Some of it was rediscovered and some of it was discovered. So enjoy!

RICH - glad you mentioned this list because I am usually very up to date on the new blog posts but this one got by me. I'm So glad you did this. I love music. From the first look, here are my comments - love Santogold, love Lump Sum (listened to that album on repeat around Jan/Feb of this year and totally brings me back), LOVE The Xx - their guitar sound is really satisfying to listen to, and a friend of mine recently introduced me to ladytron and there are some awesome tracks. I'm excited about discovering the rest! Yes!!
