Listomania

Hey everyone :)

It's time for another list!

When Lindsey and I were brainstorming for a name for our blog, we originally wanted to include something about lists in our title because lists will be an integral part of this blog. We are avid Phoenix fans (I saw them live in December. It was life-changing), so I, being ultra-clever and wonderful (sarcasm :P), came up with the title "Listomania," a play on the name of one of their songs, "Lisztomania." Obviously, that fell through (hence Flibbertigibbet), but today, I'm making a list about my favorite musicians, and I thought this would be the appropriate title :).
