Glad to see somebody else giving some love to Ra Ra Riot. Even more glad to see that you picked A Manner To Act; that was probably my favorite song last year.

Awesome to see someone with Urbantramper in their top list. I was also happy to see the Concretes song 'Kids' in your list. That song is great and it was bypassed by so many people last year.
