Because obligatory. See y'all on the other side of the big water.

A girl at my high school loaned it to me, and it just about blew my mind. This also marks the moment I when I began moving away from top-40 radio.

I know Bootsy said a while back he never really got into Ani Difranco. Fair enough. As a mainstream-radio-listening wannabe feminist at a suburban high school full of jocks, this was just the right music for me at the right time.

I can't remember who told me to listen to her, but she was way outside of what I normally listened to. I just loved her voice, and for whatever reason was thinking about her tonight. I guess she runs a yoga studio downtown now? Anyway, here's a recent recording of her playing the eponymous song from her first record.

To be sure, I'm not sure why she skipped the heart of the bridge, but oh well.

I've played these two a couple of times (at least I think I have...). I saw them again last week in Baton Rouge, and they never disappoint. Remember, it's not what you've got, it's what you make.

Oh, yeah. Hope y'all had a good turkey day. Now I'm off to work. Boooooooooooooo.

How about some moody music for a Monday?

Speaking of falling, there nothing quite as unfortunate as falling for a band only to discover they've already broken up. Oh, well. This performance is from January 2011.
