SariMusic2010

I still don't really like those "look back best of blah-blah-blahs" that everyone seems to do around now, but having released one for 2009, I thought I'd put together the list of songs for 2010. Here are songs that made me happy, got stuck in my head, made me sad.....or I generally spent a lot of time with over the course of 2010. Here is a link to the 2009 archives.

I've Decided!

That I really like The Rural Alberta Advantage.

And that I'm really sad that I found this out AFTER seeing that they were doing a show at the Cedar Cultural Center.

And that it's sold out.

My life is hard.

SariMusic 2009

I'm not really one for those whole "look back best of blah-blah-blahs" that everyone seems to do around now. But I thought I'd decide to release (on the off chance that anyone cares) the SariMusic Archives that I've compiled this year. I really only started doing this mid-year, so it's not really a complete 2009 list. I also only list one song that I'm listening to per week...just to keep things simple...so it will never be a complete list in that sense. But! I thought maybe someone would care. Here are songs that made me happy, got stuck in my head, made me sad.....or I generally spent a lot of time with over the course of 2009. The list will continue in 2010. And probably 2011. And I should probably add newer music to it.

Anyway. Here's SariMusic 2009:

• Great Lakes Myth Society--Queen of the Barley Fool (8.3.09)
