Maybe she'd like it if you didn't worry about it and didn't try to get her any music at all. A lot of our womenkind just feel pressured by us music geeks continually suggesting that they'd like this or that, even if they're generally music fans.

(If that doesn't convince you, then I think Air's new album, Talkie Walkie, is pretty darn likeable.)

But you need to hear Kanye West's College Dropout if you haven't yet. My favorite new album in several months.
