Keely!

Mickey said I NEEDED to do a post, so here it goes - my top 3s.

Top 3 Albums:
Fleet Foxes. Finn really, really likes listening to this (well, with Mickey holding him down saying "you will like indie music")
Bon Iver. This was 2007, but if other people list it in 2008, so will I. I, like Erika, listened to Skinny Love for a week.
Girl Talk. Yes! I love this album. We had to stop listening to it in the car when Finn sang "whadcha know about that? I know all about that" with the music. (yes, that really happened, and yes, he could have chosen worse lyrics to sing).

Finn's top 3 requested songs:
Crane Wife 3 (Decemberists)
Sons and Daughters (Decemberists)
Rocky Raccoon (Beatles)

Top 3 Girls' Nights Out:
Sex & the City/Brewhouse/Red Star
My Birthday at Red Star/Brewhouse/Red Star
The first time we all went out post-babies to the Brewhouse and Red Star

Top 3 reasons we had to take Gracie to the vet:
bladder incontinence (she is now on estrogen, much like a menopausal woman)
yeast infection in her ear
torn CCL

Top 3 worst radio shows (since Justin did it):
Prairie Home Companion
Speaking of Faith
Midday with Gary Eichten (Let's listen to a speech and then talk about something entirely unrelated and boring)

Top 10 best radio personalities:
Kai Ryssdal
Scott Jagow (I have a thing for the marketplace men)
Kerri Miller
Neal Conan
Liane Hansen and Will Shortz during the Sunday morning puzzler (sorry Justin, I like Will)
Peter Sagal/Carl Kasell (I bet Justin hates wait, wait don't tell me)
Lynne Rossetto Casper
Steve Inskeep
Michele Norris
Robert Siegel

No love for Jad Abumrad or Robert Krulwich. Tragic.
