Kaki King’s not on many best of 2010 lists, so good to see someone else is highlighting her music, several terrific songs on her 2010 album ( :
A few artists I don’t know here, hope you found some new music to listen to on my top 100 songs list.
By the way, I added your link to today’s What are other people blogging about? So maybe some traffic will come your way ( :
Quite prolific you are. I’m looking forward to your favorite films of 2011. Keep up the good work Jandy.
I’ve got an ongoing list of 2011 films here: http://www.the-frame.com/best-of-this-year/. 🙂 I’ll be archiving it to http://www.the-frame.com/best-of-2011 in a few weeks, though.
