Dozens upon dozens of albums cross my desk every day. A few from this year that stand out share a common trait—they each have female vocalists. Here's list of the ten that I found most enjoyable.
Amadou & Mariam "Welcome to Mali" (Nonesuch)
Neko Case, "Middle Cyclone" (Anti)
Rosanne Cash, "The List" (Manhattan Records)
Cesaria Evora, "Nha Sentimento" (Lusafrica)
PJ Harvey & John Parish, "A Woman A Man Walked By" (Island Records)
Lhasa, "Lhasa" (Nettwerk Records)
Eleni Mandell, "Artificial Fire" (Zedtone)
La Roux, "La Roux" (Cherrytree Records)
Shilpa Ray and Her Happy Hookers, "A Fish Hook An Open Eye" (Kepler Records)
Regina Spektor, "Far" (Warner)
Au Revoir Simone, "Still Night, Still Light" (Our Secret Records)

Howdy would you mind stating which blog platform you're working with? I'm
going to start my own blog soon but I'm having a tough time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something unique.
P.S My apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

First of all I want to say terrific blog! I had a quick question which I'd like to ask if you don't mind.
I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear
your mind before writing. I've had trouble clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out. I do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints? Cheers!
Feel free to visit my site; garcinia parvifolia
Please let me know if you're looking for a article writer for your weblog. You have some really good articles and I feel I would be a good asset. If you ever want to take some of the load off, I'd love to write some articles for your blog in exchange for a

Many thanks!
