But... A kind and patient colleague sent me a copy, and I started to listen to it on the way into work this morning. And, so far, I love it. Yes, imagine my surprise. As far as I'm concerned, this is not only the best thing she's done since "Little Earthquakes", but it's the progression I've spent the intervening years hoping for, and I'm almost tempted to say that it...yes, it's the BEST thing she's done. And I didn't ever think I'd say that again when it came to Tori. It feels like an old friend returned. Of course, this is only based on an incomplete first listening. My only cavil is that, as others have pointed out, it's too long -- in my day, this would have been a double concept album complete with booklet, poster insert and artwork by Hipgnosis. Crikey, I'll have to go out and actually buy it, I suppose.

Vickie occasionally mentions her problems pronouncing the names of artists on her show, so when I saw this, I just had to think of her: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muireann_Nic_Amhlaoibh Don't worry, Vickie. I can't say that either. (I discovered her as part of Amazon's "150 indie CDs for $9.99" -- http://www.amazon.com/b/ref=amb_link_0_1/103-3330865-2880619?node=163876011 ) ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 9 May 2007 18:45:59 -0700 From: "Sue Trowbridge" Subject: Re: I can just imagine Vickie...

I'd hate to be the publicist having to call journalists and try to convince them to write about her -- everyone will be afraid to just to try to spell her name! - --Sue ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V13 #119 ***************************
