UK Ladies Represent!

What's with all the great English ladies coming out of the woodwork and making their way onto my playlist? It's not like they're new, but they are new to me. All last summer I almost exclusively listened to M.I.A. which kept me sane while I was looking for a job. Now I'm addicted to both Lady Sovereign and Lily Allen.

Hooray sassy, independent ladies! Special props to the indie M.I.A.
