I stumbled upon their beautiful Daft Punk cover of Get Lucky a couple of weeks ago http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5Cp55MvX54 and I just love Elena Tonra's voice. She sounds a lot like Karin Bergquist from Over the Rhine which happens to be one of my favourite bands. I have since bought Daughter's stellar debut If You Leave and downloaded both their EPs, and I have to say I am impressed. This is my favourite song so far http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEpMj-tqixs And this song is very nice as well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUWrcFpmI5U Also, I am wondering where you come across new ecto-ish music? My favourite blog http://wearsthetrousers.com/ has been inactive for months, and I don't seem to be able to find anything just as brilliant out there. The only blog that has grapped my attention lately is Just Music That I Like http://www.justmusicthatilike.com/ That's where I learned about Phildel for which I am eternally grateful. All best from Copenhagen, Leonora ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 10 May 2013 22:10:12 +1000 From: Amanda Williams Subject: Kate Bush and Chrissie Amphlett First, I know it's old news about Kate's CBE, but here's a lovely article in the Daily Mirror about Kate's life. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/kate-bush-makes-rare-public-1830011 Also, the Aussie people on this list will know that Chrissie Amphlett passed away last month. While she was a quintessential rock chick, she did some beautiful, ruminative songs as well. My favourite is Punksie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkJb9n7KoMY and this duet with the lead singer of Cheap Trick is also good value. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKqll1ZCLgY While I Touch Myself may have painted Chrissie like something of a soft-porn star, the lady had style. She was equally at home in designer gear as she was school uniforms, and her stage performances were electrifying. I was lucky enough to see the Divinyls perform live. She prowled the stage like a cat in heat and made out with not just the microphone, but the microphone stick! After a fraught relationship with lead guitarist, Mark McEntee (who went on to marry a clothes designer - of the Wheels & Dollbaby brand), she married the Divinyls drummer and moved to New York. She was diagnosed with MS several years ago, and a couple of years ago, it was announced she had breast cancer. She died late last month, aged 53. She has left a tremendous void in the Australian music scene. A DJ on one of our wonderful community radio stations, 3RRR, mentioned this, and said that no other female singer is like her and my husband and I discussed this and rang him up and suggested Adelita from Magic Dirt, but as he pointed out, while Adelita has certainly been influenced by Chrissie, she doesn't have her innate style.
