Who's going to the 6th and I shows? I'm trying to decide whether to drop $30+ on a show that might be a snooze but might also be a trascendent experience (a la the Antony show a year ago)

Also, her new one is going to be a triple-CD, and the tracks on Drag City are interesting. Ys also an interesting album and I've played it a few times recently.

2. Have One On Me (11:02)
3. '81 (03:51)

I'll be there...about 95% certain.  Gotta admit though, hearing that this is a three-disc album has me less than psyched.  Ys is great and all, but doesn't compare to her first album, IMO. 

[James Ford]

How into her would you guys be if she looked like Susan Boyle?

First show is sold out, second still has tix available.
What to do, what to do. Reviews of her recent shows have been extremely positive, and it just might be awesome at 6th and I.
nkotb, are you going Mon or Tues?

[Relaxer]

she is pretty smokin, to be sure, but she and susan boyle are coming at this in two different ways

[Vas Deferens]

show will be with a six piece string section.........i've only seen her solo 3 or 4 times....looking forward to it.

do it relaxer!

going to first show, contemplating about the second show also

[azaghal1981]

Unitarian Church for me.

I'm going Monday.  Rhett, I can't answer your question.  I think the first time I heard her, it was live.  I think she's grown into her look a bit...browsing through old photos of her from the first album, she didn't look that great.

Oh, it's gonna be good! I fly in from SXSW that day (Monday), and I'm doing a Joanna Newsom/Spoon double-play! Will. Be. Amazing.

[Relaxer]

Oh very well
Bought two tickets
If nothing else, I'll scalp the SHIT out of them. "Come see the best ass to ever play a harp! It sings too!"



Can you believe that this is the man who gets to touch that amazing booty?

[azaghal1981]

Not as amazing as your rendition of "Emily" which I expect you to have completely memorized by tomorrow!

[Vas Deferens]

the question is: are we gonna meet her backstage .... you up for it?

[RustyOrgan]

I'd like to taste her tampon.

[Julian, Alleged Computer F**kface]

I'd like to taste her tampon.

Wow, just took things to a whole new (disgusting) level.

i couldn't even come up with a zingy reply.  that was gross - not clever, not funny, not insightful, nothing... just plain gross.
