[Your Name Here]'s CD has some good stuff on as well, such as Dar Williams, whom I'd never heard of before...
She's in CryCryCry (the fireman song on my tape).
Mortal City is her best album, I think. Although her best track is the first one I heard, a live performance of The Great Unknown on the Postcrypt compilation from 1800PrimeCD (the number is the name, and the URL, too).
"This is a song about nuclear waste, and it's also about my family."
Everyone laughs. Then she goes and does it...

quote:I'm no ordinary princess, I was born in the cold war,
And my team is the Rockets.
Go team, it's a dangerous time.
And I dream of the moon and building lunar clone colonies.
And I build my peace with strength, that's the best weapon you've got.
Oh, I am the brainchild, I am the mortar,
With a plastic trophy and an eating disorder,
And vision as big as a great big wall,
And they tell me that I'll move forward for the good of us all,
And the good of nuclear families all.
Lately, I'm fascinated by cool jazz. I heard a thing on NPR about George Mraz's new album -- jazz arrangements of Moravian folk songs. I want that. |
