But I've been busy so I'm just now getting around to it. First of all, my wife and I LOVE Flight of the Conchords. I heard them on NPR several months ago and we got the DVDs from our local library as soon as they hit the shelves. This is currently my favorite FOTC song (Doesn't mean that I'm gay, though): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPyuZ6ZTqmo And second, as someone else noted, the list members *are* great for turning us on to new artists while we wait for the next Basia album. So here's my recommendation:&nbsp;a Japanese band called "Dreams Come True." They've been around since '89 if I'm not mistaken, and crank out roughly one album per year of consistently good material. The lead singer, Miwa Yoshida has a full and resonant voice quite different from the typical J-pop female vocalist falsetto.&nbsp;Below are some samples (some are&nbsp;audio only.) ------------------------------ End of basia-digest V12 #115 ****************************
