This has been the trend of the past two years: ignore music all year and then figure out what I missed via too-cool graphic designer/blogger Kate Miss's year-end playlist. It's so good!!
This is my favorite track from the playlist, and I know I've heard it before because I gave Andrew Bird's latest album a cursory listen. But now I realize how extraordinary Andrew Bird and Fiona Apple arguing to music really is — complete with slide whistle!
