I found Lenka on here a really long time ago and have been hooked every since. I have such great appreciation of what you do, it's incredible. I am growing especially fond of Frightened Rabbit on here... It really amazes me. Thank you for introducing me to all this music, I absolutely love what you do and please, please never stop.

On Snow Patrol: I'm glad you put them on your list. I of course found them probably through Chasing Cars and then got that CD - I definitely wasn't an immediate fan of the whole CD, but they snuck up on me slowly and I ended up finding a deep appreciation. Also, saw them in concert and it was amazing. I'm still getting used to the new one...i'm in like with it now especially set down your glass and the planets bend between us. Anyway! sorry i just wrote a book but i never get to talk about snow patrol to people because usually they don't know all their music! nice albums…and I love your music. love it.

I have never heard of Mates of State before, and now I'm really digging "Re-arrange Us" - it truly is a solid album. Thanks! Keep on recommending such good music.

I also think the list is solid, except for Mates of State who I've decided should give up music altogether and focus on couples photography, which they seem to be fairly good at.
