 Besides, how do you know I'm not gay, and thus culturally able to use any derogatory word I choose to empower myself?
 
 Like I said before: think of how you would feel if you were young, closeted, were stoked to read about music and the club away from hell, and were STILL haunted by such words?  I'm none of the above, but I know I'm still being too sensitive.  Don't worry, I'm not militant or anything so I'll shut up.  I'm gay but very un-PC.  I love offense, and I think everything needs to be made fun of.  But I make sure I do it around people I know.

Flawd, you wanna take this one?

Whattya think of this new Bloodshot release Mr. Miller?
 
 Nora O'Connor ~ 'Til the Dawn
 (Includes a link to hear a sample)
 
 For years around Chicago, Nora has been an in-demand hired assassin of singing to the hit-making hoi polloi, but now it is time (long overdue) for her to scootch over just a little bit to center stage where she belongs. We are pleased to present her first solo CD 'TIL THE DAWN. This absolutely enchanting CD features O'Connor-penned urban honky-tonk originals like "My Backyard," Blue Ridge mountain-style harmonizing on "Nightingale," SoCal-country flavor on the Fleetwood Mac cover "That's Alright," and truly uptown citified-soul on Ketty Lester's "Love Letters."
 
 Helping her out in this endeavor (finding people willing to do favors for Nora is pretty easy) are some of Chicago's finest. Andrew Bird, Gerald O'Dowd (Robbie Fulks' drummer), Kelly Hogan, Grant Tye (Robbie's guitarist), Andy Hopkins, and Scott Ligon all add to the great karmic wheel that is the music family of Chicago and whose talents make this a sultry,alluring little record.
 
 'TIL THE DAWN has style and grit -- and *finally* spotlights Nora's amazingly sweet, yet deliciously salty, beautiful soaring blackbird of a voice. Props are long overdue.
 
 "A solo calling card that is almost startling in its assured delivery and freshness...O'Connor exudes warmth, romance, and optimism and shines brightly form start to finish. 4 stars." Tim Sheridan MOJO
 
 "It succeeds beyond words...It is solid and versatile, as well as subtly yet disarmingly sexy." Michael Metivier PopMatters
 
 "Proves she's a serious and talented frontperson...Her emotional voice is light and airy but reveals a dusky jazzy undertone similar to a combination of Norah Jones, Rickie Lee Jones, and Lori Carson...The band perfectly augments each cut, neither overplaying nor laying back. Sweet yet with a tangy aftertaste, O'Connor's record is a subtly sparking gem." Hal Horowitz All Music Guide
 
 "With repeated listening you'll find you'll understand that's she's worthy of standing shoulder to shoulder with her labelmates Neko Case, Kelly Hogan, and Sally Timms. " Vitas Zebraitis Glorious Noise

Well, Mr Grotty, I'm intrigued. I only have her on a couple of comilations, and from what I remember, she was pretty good. But there are so many good records coming out right now, I'm going to have to be prudent and selective and deliberate in my purchases, so as not to go broke.
 
 She's playing the Bloodshot party at CMJ this year, would be neat to see her there, but don't know if finances and scheduling are favorable for that.

 Besides, some of my best friends are gay...

Nkotbie, this all stems from my feelings for you.  I think you're incredibly handsome and would love a date with you.  I was just trying to figure out if you were gay or not.  So, how about it? [/b]

Mankie, why didn't you tell us that you were interviewed by the BBC?
