Okay, I have many complex feelings about these guys this gal. First off, she finds great people to collaborate with. Her studio albums are sonically pretty cool (and as she's singing over a recording, you'll get an idea of it). However, her schtick can get a little annoying. I mean, a lot of her songs, I think it's a conscious thing to kind of make a point, but that doesn't make it any less annoying. Kind of like a Girls type of thing, maybe. I don't know. That said, I still dig Khaela and her tunes, regardless of how nutty she is/may be.

There really aren't any good live cuts out there at all, so this will have to do.

I had a guy in the store yesterday who was really, really annoyed with me personally because his favorite TV manufacturer doesn't make a TV in the size he wanted. People are strange.

Love me some Liz.

Unfortunately, there weren't too many videos from back in the day that captured her as she deserved (audio is pretty crappy all around too). Here's one more classic (with better audio, and a little less wooden performance) that we obviously couldn't lead with, but deserves mention all the same.
