Can't say i've heard of all of them. I do like Lisa Hannigan though. Like many others on the list, i enjoyed Damien Rice's album O, on which she features prominently. Her solo album is not really what i expected from her. I think she has a fine pop sense: put that with her great voice and you've got a very listenable album, imo. She took part in an interesting musical event at the most recent Dublin fringe festival called "songs that scare children (but in a most beautiful way)" in the Spiegeltent. I didn't get to it, but i think the idea is great. Some of my friends went to it and had only good things to report. There are some interesting enough clips on youtube of Lisa Hannigan.

It really touched my heart that he was right there for you when you needed someone most. I hope that you will be able to treasure that memory as much as I am going to try to treasure it with you my friend.... Love, Sherelle From: loveuconn@hotmail.comTo: joni@smoe.org; sherellesmith@hotmail.com; treegreen1@hotmail.com; wally.kairuz@gmail.comSubject: NJC, Smurf comes for conversation, he comforts me sometimesDate: Wed, 11 Feb 2009 18:09:06 +0000 Dear Ones: WARNING: Digging down deep; possibly heavy company My dear Dad died three years ago today, and I'm remembering how Smurf was so *there* for me. He also was *there* at my dear Mother's deathbed 23 months later, comforting me on his babbling cellphone. With everyone sharing all the funny stories about him and by him (each one such a treasure!), I'd like to also shine on the deeply compassionate side of him. So deep, not superficial.

Taken directly from his myspace page: saves the day converge cold world pulling teeth he's been listening to blink 182 since he was about 10 yrs old and considers them the biggest musical part of his life. He is also a big fan of Lil Wayne and some of the more recent hip hop artists. Interestingly, he recently discovered jazz and asked me if I had any Jaco Pastorius bass "stuff" I laughed and said "oh boy do I!" I suspect he'll like jazz fusion because he seems to like dissonance. I'm going to play some Chick Corea for him and see how he responds.
