Charming, not weird :) Actually, your English is great. >Tina Dico is Danish >and shes big in Scandinavia and Britain. I wont tire you out with >Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian singer/songwriters this time around, but >there are many to choose from. E.g. Swedish The Tiny reminiscent of >Portishead, Norwegian Ane Brun and Swedish Eva Dahlgren. That's actually one of the coolest things about the list - being exposed to great regional music that you wouldn't otherwise discover. I've traded for some really amazing music over the years, notably from the Nordic countries and Australia, that I'd never have discovered. (Honey is Cool and Midnight Choir immediately spring to mind.) So those recommendations are usually pretty well appreciated. (I don't trade as much since I seem to have an out of control backlog of music. Not a bad problem to have though.) >Camille: Le Fil / Le Sac des filles >=================================== > >Camille is the most sassy, experimental, and confident singer/songwriter >I have stumbled across. Shes French and shes huge in France, no wonder. >Speaking of which: You might enjoy Keren Ann and Coralie Climent as well. >Both French, too. They are not as upbeat as Camille. Their music has more >of a film noir-feel and they both tend to whisper while Camille sings out >loud.

I don't believe in astrology, but it was fun you mentioning it. I won't mind you believing it if you won't mind me poking some fun at it. I've put and taken my name on and off the list over the years ever since it began, but I'm a "Leo" too (which proves to me how useless astrology signs are, since I'm NOTHING like a Leo is supposed to be.

I didn't realize they were Swedish. ...thinking of the same group, right? With the big Cello on the album cover? hmmmmcello....... I found them on "Pandora" the same night I discovered Shara Worden/"My Brightest Diamond." "Regina Spektor Radio" is totally my favorite station I've created? Has anyone else used Pandora? It's an immensely cool idea... it tracks musical qualities in artists whose names you submit and then plays tracks with similar characteristics. It's very cool, because it focuses on qualities of music and composition instead of superficial things like genre. Check it out at Pandora.com. Offensively, Pandora claims to be unaware of Happy... which we should really do something about. ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V12 #202 ***************************
