		<description><![CDATA[The third entry in my mini-series about mind-expanding music is the band Teengirl Fantasy, another new group from Ohio (go figure). Their indie electronica is a unique amalgam of various styles, including ambient, chill wave, and even some turn-of-the-&#8217;90s R&#038;B.

		<title>Mind-Expanding Music from 2010, part 1: Gold Panda</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is the first time in 5 years that I haven't created a "top ten" list of my favorite music from the previous year to post on my blog. One reason I stopped is that music is a very subjective experience. ]]></description>
