• I’ve been going through Said the Gramophone’s top 50 songs list. I don’t love all of them, but there’s some good stuff I didn’t know about in there and I sort of love the time of year when bloggers have to self-edit down to the best of the best.
• I have also been liking Liftingfaces’ Indie Music Alphabet, 2008 edition.
• My friend pointed me to this old Iron & Wine b-sides post the other day. It’s got some great stuff on there, like the his covers of “It’s the Same Old Song” and “Waiting for Superman” (which I’ve loved for a long time), plus some things I’d never heard before.
• Anyone’s Guess’ best of has enough stuff that I know (and like/ love) that I’ll have to be sure I check out the half of stuff I’m not as familiar with.
• Apparently the forthcoming Bon Iver EP (which you can pre-order here) is starting to make its way into the blogosphere. Stranger Dance has a track which, as you may expect, is pretty gorgeous.

So there you have it.
