CHICKS DUDE! CHICKS!
I think after this im going to go on a singer songwriter hiatus. there needs to be more RAWKing.
for today ive got chicks. First up, KT Tunstall. I sat through an otherwise shitty episode of Conan (what the hell is up with Harrison Ford? creepy) to see her play and it was totally worth it. How rad is the tambourine with the foot thing? She does the whole dl-4 bit a la Joseph Arthur , Howie Day et al, and well. Im a little put off by the production of her album, which saw its US release yesterday, but i think shes got potential.

Another Place to FallBlack Horse and the Cherry TreeMiniature DisastersI dont have a lot to say about Leslie Feist right now. Im pretty fucking lazy with this shit, but shes awesome. listen. Shes involved in all sorts of Canadian awesomeness. How much does everything coming from the great white north kick ass right now? Her first record was a little spotty in my opinion. When i finally gave Let It Die a spin, I made a concerted effort to kick myself in the ass for writing her off. It was her writing that i didnt really enjoy though and in my defense the best tracks here are covers, but shes still all sorts of fantastic.i lied. well that really wasnt a whole lot was it?
