Nice to see a Lucy Woodward mention here. It's been fascinating watching her musical evolution these past couple years. She's really come into her own with the new album -- and if you get a chance to see her live, *go*. She's a really good performer who always has an excellent band behind her. (File under "torchy/jazzy", if that's your sort of thing...)

I never developed enough fondness for CD-as-object to stop the switch to digital, whereas the switch from vinyl was painful. What would Never For Ever be without the dreams and nightmares crawling across the gatefold. But books! Yum books. A 64 page hardcover. Words! Pictures! Pages to stroke! Paper to sniff! Typography to disdainfully scrutinize! Download codes with lossless options! And free postage to the States from Book Depository (http://www.bookdepository.com/book/9780007371860/Crooked). It's a UK release. The CD isn't available to order yet but when it is, you can get 6 for $35 from the kristinhersh.com store. Or just one.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that she has a new album coming out next week.

So this brings a smile to my face. She sounds lovely and the music that I've heard so far is very much "her." Also, if you ever get to hear her story about the Thong song (thong, th, th, th, thong,) absolutely you should take the time to listen! Meanwhile, London ectophiles (and the other London-traveling ectos out there,) I'll be in London again in the end of July (to see some concerts) then working there for the next two weeks. If there's anything I shouldn't miss, I'd love to hear from you.
