Pretentious playlist

One of Korea's great advantages is that it is one of the most wired nations in the world. This has allowed me many great luxuries. I am in constant contact with friends and family. I am almost completely up to date with world news. Also, on a more self-serving note, I am perhaps more indulged in new, exciting music than at any other point in my life. Discovering new [to my ears] music has become a daily routine, and is most likely a habit that I will never break. I'm simply having too much fun.

The last two months have been a boom time for my itunes library. Here are some of my greatest discoveries. While I know this sounds presumptuous; I think most of you would be well served to find these cuts and indulge yourselves. If not, you can ostracize me over beers the next time I see you. Nothing would make me happier.
