"shadowboxer" is probably what you're thinking of. i actually don't recall whether i heard that or "sleep to dream" first, but "shadowboxer" is definitely the jazzier of the two. to me, she's always sounded like she has the soul of a 60-year black woman inside of her. am i allowed to say that? (it would seem so.) xo P.S. to michael - i bet stewart knows why of those BBs. - -- "people with opinions just go around bothering one another." -- the buddha ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2009 18:45:48 +0000 (UTC) From: michaeljbachman@comcast.net Subject: Edward Hopper vs The Blue Nile (Saturday Night) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hUKwBeJe78&feature=PlayList&p=AE64B12B5729BB83&index=22&playnext=2&playnext_from=PL ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2009 12:56:40 -0700 From: kevin studyvin Subject: Re: fiona apple people > I think she's always had that aspect to her - if I recall, her very first > single (can't recall the title off the top of my hand) was rather jazzy. > > (Okay, I just realized I wrote "hand" instead of "head" there.

I made the mistake of being in the front row at that one, and it was a very effective dramatic device.

R PS On the subject of BBC sitcoms, 'Psychoville' by one half of the League of Gentlemen is well worth looking out for. Very dark and very funny.
