More like Marti Jones levels of fame, someone unable to escape the confines of college radio. Fiona had a new album just a couple years back, so I assume she is still somewhat popular.

I can only remember what her CDs looked like. On one of her album covers she is running away from the camera through a library. The photo is sepia toned, I used to have this CD but I can't find it now and I don't know what it would have been filed under. The music was alternative/acoustic-y, it was good but the album cover was great. Her other album cover she was sitting in a swimming pool, mostly submerged. Any suggestions?

One arrived at the stop which wasn't my route; but when the door opened, I observed that the driver was none other than Mr. Capuchin Brelin. In retrospect, he didn't appear to recognise me.
