January 5, 2009 – 10:30 am
  Out of all the records I enjoyed during 2008 I chose 20 of them as my favorites.  I put them all in alphabetical order and wrote about them.  Here are another five… Adorably precocious Swedish Indie-Pop chanteuse Lykke Li out-Feist-ed Canadian Indie-Folk femme Leslie Feist simply by being…well…more feisty.
