Hey KoT — A friend just gave me a mix with some Jamie Lidell songs on them. Clearly, this is someone I need to hear right away. I’ll track down “Another Day.”

And Laura… I didn’t even realize that MW had released another album. Snap! Thanks for the tip!

(P.S.)

I love that Mark has given voice to the “godforsaken right” issue from Jason Mraz. I thought the exact same thing!!

BEST SONG TO BE ANGST-RIDDEN TO: Jimmi by my guurl Martha Wainwright. Her album “I Know You’re Married, but I’ve Got Feelings Too” was overlooked totally inexplicably by the big guns. I was sure she would get nominated for something that would put her as indie-boho-mainstream as her bro, but not quite yet. Too bad!

Mark – I must send you m Top 50 favorite songs of 2008. There are many similarities – “Use Somebody”, “Untouched”, “Love Lockdown” etc and many that I’m sure you’d disagree with (I love “I’m Yours” no matter how foolish some of the lyrics may be. In fact, I want to marry Jason – he is just too cool for words!). My number one song of the year turned out to be “Human” by The Killers with “American Boy” by Estelle a close second. As for songs you may not have had the pleasure of hearing yet, I urge you and all your readers to check out Jamie Lidell’s “Another Day” which is 4 minutes of pure joy – complete with hand clapping, horns and the best Brit blue eyed soul I’ve ever heard!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Robyn.

I love that Crash n Burn girl. She’s awesome.

Have you heard her do Be Mine acoustic?
Heartbreaking.

Use Somebody was my gettin’ pretty song of 2008. It’s easy to primp when that boy is singing to me.

I have some catching up to do…there’s a few of these I haven’t heard. But hooray for your She & Him nod and for nailing the problem with Coldplay right on the head.
