Lykke Li - Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow

Sweet cover of Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow from Lykke Li

Lykke Li!!

I’m so excited because the Pabst sent out an email this afternoon to say Lykke Li will be doing a Milwaukee show in August. She’s brilliant in her own right, but she’s also been doing some awesome collaborations lately (Bon Iver, El Perro Del Mar, Kleerup, NASA.) I heart her so count me in…and watch this amazing acoustic version of I’m Good, I’m Gone.

2008’s Top Ten Tracks

PaperMichelle’s Top 10

Musically speaking, 2008 was eclectic. Old was new again…a resurgence of 80s sound and 70s frontmen. Beards were acceptable and trademarks of indie-cred. Falsettos, boy/girl duets and harmonies were the new black. Where to begin?

I am prefacing this “Top Ten” list with the statement that it is subject to change. I can’t believe I’m attempting to pin down ten songs, but here is my best effort for a Tuesday morning:

10. “Hearts on Fire” by Cut Copy
9. “In Our Talons” by Bowerbirds
8. “Blood Bank” by Bon Iver…someone on YouTube said it best, “God, he makes Chris Martin look like such an asshole.” Bravo, sir.
7. “Sunday Afternoon” by Rachael Yamagata
6. “Kim and Jessie” by M83
5. “I’m Good, I’m Gone” by Lykke Li
4. “Gobbledigook” by Sigur Ros
3. “Electric Feel” by MGMT
2. “Mykonos” by Fleet Foxes
1. “Drops In The River” by Fleet Foxes

If that list isn’t a plug for Pitchfork, I don’t know what is. Thanks for the jams, 2008!
