anyone heard of her?  Was listening to WXPN this morning and they said Jim James produced her upcoming album.  Single I heard was pretty good, called "Infamous"

Yeah check out her NPR "tiny desk" performance she did awhile back. I like her I'm bummed she isn't touring this new Jim James produced record in Chicago.

Reeeeally diggin' this new album. It kinda reminds me of Florence + the Machine, but take out the bombast and replace it with a little more earnest heart. Check out the solo at the end of "In The Name Of" -- unmistakably Jim's shredding! The riffs in "Good Advice" are positively Floating Action-esque as well -- wonder if Seth was on this album or Jim was just influenced? Either way, it's subtly very groovy. Jim has really developed as a producer.

This album is definitely worth checking out!

Going to see her tonight at Zanzabar in Louisville. Daniel Martin Moore is opening (really going to see Daniel but am looking forward to Basia's set and have a copy of her album already).

I just saw her at Lincoln Hall. My God. She is this absolutely loveable little pixie that you just want to hug, and then a of a sudden she hits a note that just shakes you to your foundations and you start crying then and there, that one could possess such raw talent, and put so much of their soul into the development of that talent. Witnessing a superstar on the rise. She is just epic. I hope you have a wonderful time, sir.

Thank you so much! I have to work overnight so a little YouTube Festival is much appreciated!!! Man, how about Alex Smith?! I have loved all his projects (including Probably Not) but to see him perform was another level...you probably had the perfect view. He has truly mastered his craft.  DMM is still on my Louvilly bucket list...he ALWAYS manages to elude me. There was a show in STL with him, Howell Dawdy, and Daniel Joseph Dorff. I missed it and part of my soul fell out, and has yet to be recovered. (:  I hope you are surrounded by magic and surprises all night!!!!!

P.S. "You Can't Be Neutral On A Moving Train" is my new favorite by Zinn. Everything he touches is genuine.
