Loading... ms. calvi's been generating some heat across the pond through most of 2011. throaty, lustful, and proficiently wields an axe to boot (though those skills aren't so much on display in this video). compared favourably to siouxsie and PJ harvey, here she is on later... getting a good amount of sound out of three people.

The fairer part of the Fiery Furnaces, live in Toronto, 2011. Go buy her new solo album.

(3 votes, average: 8.33 out of 10)Loading... here is my newfound love, tUnE-yArDs. normally, i'm pretty anti-looping pedal. in fact, i'm normally very anti-looping pedal (especially someone that uses two of them), but merrill garbus makes it work for me. her new studio album "w h o k i l l" is fabulous as well. even peckish jane likes it (which surprised me, i'll admit). anyway, this is one of those acts to keep an eye on:

(3 votes, average: 6.00 out of 10)Loading... in a similar vein, this is one of my favorite one hit wonders from the 90s. truthfully, OHW status might be a little generous. yeah, "feed the tree" got some plays in the MTV rotation, but i don't think that mark mcgrath will be pimping it in 10 years for a new time life collection infomercial like is bound to happen to "lovefool". anyway, i know there are some fans around the nation, so enjoy.

I haven't done much breaking up lately but my favorite break up album of all time is Long Gone Before Daylight from the Cardigans.
