StuntRabbit’s Unabashed Music List

This list is made by writing down music I love (in no particular order) as I hear it.

This list will never be complete.

I’d love to provide links to samples of the songs, but don’t know a good way yet. If you have a way, let me know and I’ll try it.

First, a word of caution:

• You will not like everything on this list.
• You may not even like any of it.
• That’s why it’s my list, and not yours.

List 1: Artists who have been denied entry to the United States

Good thing we’re being protected from these people. Whew.

1. Lily Allen
