Let’s make things clear: this is NOT a chart. I ain’t got any chart. Because I’m so.. messy, and because during this 2008 I listened to not so many songs (let alone entire albums).
I compiled this list according to one rule only: “If it sounds good to my ears, then it’s good”. Period. No matter […]

Is there anything better than writing a post about Christmas gifts, indie pop and intriguing books, muffled up in my comfy pajama pants and shirt (yes, I’m irresistibly sexy. Definitely), while gobbling sugar sprinkled cookies, on a Christmas afternoon?

So apparently it’s Christmas* time (where did November go?). And, as I know there are are still a few of you who don’t know WHAT to give your loved ones this holiday season, I thought I’d give you a few helpful suggestions. No need to thank me. I know I’m an exceptionally kind person. Anywayz, […]

(If you already saw both of the videos, sorry. Er.. no, I really don’t give a thing, actually.

Can’t tell how many times I happened to read their name on the net. But, don’t know why, I’ve never listened to any of their songs before. Could it depend on the name in itself? Maybe.

The end of the year is near. But on the net there’s plenty of “best songs of 2008″ lists already.
Yes, I’ll probably post mine, one of these days. A very pointless and messy one, that’s for sure.
