I fell in love with the Dresden Dolls when I was living in Boston. It both surprises and pleases me that you love them as well. The first album is amazing..particularly "Half Jack" and "Girl Anachronism". Also, I don't know how it happened, but lately I have been LOVING Lily Allen. I was prepared to hate her based on my knowledge of her through gossip blogs. "LDN" is my current favorite. You might like Lykke Li- Little Bit...that's a close second.

And thanks, by the way. I don't feel all that striking lately.
