BEST ALBUMS 2008
Well, you didn't really think a little power outage was going to keep me from compiling a Best Albums of 2008 list, did you? Nah... not a chance.

01. THE CORAL SEA/firelight
02. FADED PAPER FIGURES/dynamo
03. SONS AND DAUGHTERS/this gift
04. THE ROSEBUDS/life like
05. FRIDA HYVONEN/silence is wild
06. DUFFY/rockferry
07. ISLANDS/arm's way
08. FRISKA VILJOR/tour de hearts
09. TILLY AND THE WALL/o
10. THE INDELICATES/american demo
11. LENKA/lenka

KENT (PART 2)
[This post is appearing 54 hours after it was intended to appear as a consequence of a 36-hour power outage and a 59-hour cable-modem outage. Wind was partially to blame. But the continent of Asia was the true culprit. Perhaps more on that later. For now, though -- finally -- some tunes....]

ANDY WILLIAMS
While I consider this anything but "the most wonderful time of the year," ANDY WILLIAMS' voice speaks to me of younger, brighter, "wonderfuller" days. Nostalgiarific.
