Hopefully, your mother will get TDS DSL internet asap, Jill.

I was intending on a full list of songs, but since the NFL had just observed its version of the Holocaust (the Lions finishing 0-16), I’m only going to give a Random Five.

1. The Light Dies Down on Broadway/Riding the Scree [07:40] — Genesis
2. Crumblin’ Down [03:36] — John Mellencamp
3. Heartless [05:00] — Heart

By the way, thanks for introducing me to Santogold. Possibly one of my favorite albums from 2008.

3) Opeth – To Bid You Farewell
4) Los Straitjackets – Calhoun Surf
5) Sentenced – Excuse Me While I Kill Myself

You hit it on the mark. Paper Planes – can’t get more feminist than MIA’s single.

The first thing that comes to mind is probably Britney’s “Circus,” though I also guiltily (because of the gender politics, not because of the poppiness – I am unabashed about my pop-love) love “Hot & Cold” (Katy Perry).

I liked Paper Planes a lot more before the dorm next to mine decided to play it minimum of three times a party every Friday and Saturday night. But it is a good song.

ooh, I also really loved Goldfrapp’s A&E. and anything by Robyn. THIS QUESTION IS HARD.

Don’t have a favorite 2008 single. But am always on the lookout for a coffee house in Seattle with free wifi where I can hangout and drink coffee while I read feministe. Do you have any recommendations now? My current favorite is Wayward on about 85th and Greenwood as it is open till 11pm. But I still like to roam a bit.
