**Joanna Newsom**

North Toronto kids suck.... this girl definetly does NOT!!

Joanna Newsom is also one of my favorites to listen for my long journey to dreaded locations ( i.e. School.....eeeuh).
Here are a couple of my faves!

(skip to 0:44, she doesn't actually start until then)

I mostly listen just to ^^ this CD^^ "THE MILK-EYED MENDER" but I have listen to a few songs from her older CD " Ys" (I'm pretty sure) and her newer CD that just came out in february I believe that I cannot remember the name of at the moment...They've got some really nice songs too!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH MY LOVE , OOH IT WAS A FUNNY LITTLE THING!!!

*Lykke Li*

This girl is awesome!! I have been listening to her music non-stop for the whole week and I not going to stop anytime soon. I went to buy her CD 'YOUTH NOVELS' yesterday, unfortunately I left empty-handed because her CD is 2 years old and the good old local music store didn't have it :(
On the bright side they said they would order it for me and then call me when they get it in!! (So nice eh?) YAH YAH YAH YAH!!

The guy who owns the store is this tall skinny long-white-bearded wise man who knows EVERY artist and CD ever!! (maybe not every CD but I'm convinced he's pretty close). He always knows what you're talking about and has a answer for every question. His knowledge of music just blows my mind...

When he said they didn't have it I was sad :( and for a second I was thinking; okay, well I guess I'll check HMV, but only for a second. After that brief moment of relapse, he started talking about how they couldn't afford to keep the CD's that weren't selling and blah blah blah.. I felt bad when I heard this but it reminded me that it is important to support local, independent stores to keep great people like good old Mike of Mike's Music around. I am positive nobody at HMV knows all the things this guy does. SUPPORT YOU NEIGHBOURS KIDS! (enough of that)

Anyways, Lykke Li is a Swedish indie (electropop) singer who I am now completely in love with. I love her voice, and cannot wait to blast it into my ears. She is definitely going to be apart of my " going to school"/ "forget about all other human beings and where I am going, for the next half hour" soundtrack.
