10 Songs — Dec. 18, 2008

Every so often, I'll post ten songs. Songs that make this list don't need to fit any special criteria other than that I like 'em! But usually, they'll be ones that I found recently, or perhaps rediscovered deep within the realms of my iTunes library. So please, take a peak, have a listen, and better yet, even dare to leave a comment.
