mmmkay. now that i finally have some gusto and more importantly the time to sit and update this thing, here goes.
was browsing around a certain livejournal [hahahah livejournal] community and found the advance release of an album that i only distinguished as "we brave bee stings and all". going by how the cover interested me, i gave it a random download, knowing nothing of what i'd hear.
i use this process a lot in discovering new artists, and this time i think i really hit the nail on the head.
her name is thao nguyen & she performs with her band, the get down stay down. it took me a minute to think of who she reminded me of, the tinge in her voice seemed distinctly familiar.
& so i travelled back to the summer of 2005 when i went with my friend becca to see ani difranco play at interlochen, way way way up north. that day i heard the wonderful sounds of another female, erin mckeown.
experience the differences. and the similarities. either way, both tracks are beautiful.
thao nguyen & the get down stay down - beat [health, life & fired]
erin mckeown - bells & bombs [live 2/4/05]
