Subject: RE: It's so slow!

I first heard of Beth Orton when KCRW, a local public radio station
here in Los Angeles, played "Where do I begin?"  That's the song that
Beth provided vocals for on Dig Your Own Hole, the Chemical Brother's
album.  They made a point of mentioning her name, and it stuck fast in
my head.

One time, when listening to KCRW, I even (unless I was on drugs, cuz
I've never gotten independent confirmation that this version exists)
heard an acoustic version of Where Do I Begin, and thought it was
utterly beautiful.  So a couple weeks later, I was at Tower and they
had her album on sale, so I said, what the heck, maybe that acoustic
version's on her album.  It wasn't, and I was pretty disappointed.  I
listened to the whole album through one time, and I just thought,
"what is this folkie/country crap?"  It sounded too bland, and just...
mediocre.

So I put it away in my cd rack, and promptly forgot I even owned it
for about a month.  Then I was looking through my cd's one day, and
stumbled across it.  When I saw it, my brain just flashed on little
bits of songs that I was suddenly aching to hear!  It was kinda weird,
cuz I had such a bland reaction to it the first time.  So I put it on,
and that little violin (or viola) line that opens She Cries Your Name
just shot straight to my heart.  After that, I listened to it all the
way through... listened to it constantly, got 2 of my friends
indoctrinated on the glories of Beth Orton, and that was about it.
