Anti-Hitlist for November 28

I've been slacking off.

Here is today's Anti-Hitlist:

And here are a couple of faves...

Numero uno is Alicia Keys in a stripped down tribute to NYC (sans Jay-Z). Keys is a heck of a performer. A real deal artist.



Another standout for me was this one by Swede Lykke Li. I've been liking her stuff for a couple years now, but this completely sparse cover of The Shirlles classic is pretty amazing. Dripping in emotion, with pretty much nothing but vocals holding the song up...
