I can send it to you. yawant?

Hahahaha! I LOVED the Sheryl rant!

Yeah wooden, it would help. How though? Feel free to PM me with your preferred mode of transport.

Oh, please, sweetie-I've thought U were insane from the first...

I love her little girl voice too, but back when it was so fucking weird. The real low voice was really nice too on Exile, but she never sounded quite like that on any other recordings. Her voice sounded great on WCSE, I mean it was quite polished but verrry laid-back and still low. On whip-smart and GS more range was shown. I dunno, when she sings live songs now, her voice can still sound good, it just has this consistently cheery vibe to it. I think that might be a big problem I've had with the new stuff, the way she sings so cheerily. Very true kf4, how her voice doesnt translate to other genres.
I still think she's utterly capable of creating many more amazing albums... the unreleased songs from the self-titled were simply amazing. Shallow Opportunities was a fantastic revival of the unique style found on SHANE and NASHVILLE (only found on those 3 songs really) and really was her darkest song in a long time. Bouncer's Conversation was just such a pop gem, the way it sounded so easy for her to say those really brash lyrics, as opposed to the awkward HWC. Jeremy Engle, as everyone knows, is a real treasure, and Fine Again doesn't have the most complex lyrics, but it's still a pretty good song, not trying to be more complex than it is (as, say, Little Digger). While some may despise the 2003 version of Hurricane Cindy, I actually quite like the glossy yet production (dont worry, I still prefer the 98 version). With Somebody's Miracle, we didn't get to hear any of the unreleased songs, but who knows, maybe they were great! And I did enjoy some tracks from the last albums, though no track was perfect. Bionic Eyes was just great, the "baddest dude" line and the too frequently repeated chorus prevents it from perfection. It's Sweet was soo pop yet really had personality. Friend of Mine was nice, yet the production was a bit much. Firewalker was good, but lacked a certain edge found on the live version. Wind and the Mountain was good, especially the strange high vocal in the chorus, but it's a bit too long and the production isn't the greatest. Lazy Dreamer was quite nice, but once again, the production just didn't fit, and her vocal performance wasn't my favorite. Why I Lie and Got My Own Thing are good, but just missing something (production once again as well). The only song that benefitted from the production I'd say was Giving it all To You, one of the few moments where her mainstream pop aspirations succeeded.

you know who sucks?
imani coppola
her name should be imani crapola

Cat Power - the Greatest

Wasn't really crazy over this album but i'm listening to it right now and i have to say it's freakin beautiful. the title track is a swoon. even the upbeat numbers make me... well, upbeat. her voice is so strong and pretty. love it.

That album's pretty good, I love the title track, Living Proof, Could We, and Love & Communication. The album gets a bit dull in the middle.

Resolver

I'm listening to the Resolver demos and I'm actually finding a new found love for the album, even the songs that hate on nina. used to know her........ used to know all about her.... used to need her. there was something about her..... used to torture... it's the best way around her......

Fiona Apple - Tidal

so this was one of the first albums i bought.. on tape, for jesus' sake. anyway, i used to listen to it religiously.. the tape just didn't reveal a lot of the good stuff i hear now that i'm listening to it on really fine headphones with the good ol' ipod. wow. the first taste, which i've quickly dismissed as a slight bossanova ditty, is especially arresting. it's so sexy and hot. criminal too is striking. the little musical things happening are so fantastic to hear now. still think her lyricism in this album was a bit too precious and girl poetry 101 but it's good. so good.

^^¨I wasn't all that impressed with that CD, but then again I didn't listen to it more than twice... lol ,but i quite like her sophomore record.

back to the thread


especailly red , super- conected and the title track

i think a year ago, i listened to anja's albums and i thought they were fine but wasn't that impressed. since then i've been into electronic pop and electronic rock, anything with a dash of electronica. listening to her albums now, i underestimated her. she sounds like a more accessible bjork. bjork that can make you dance and not go insane. she's got a lounge pop for martians feel to her music. lovin it. very sexy, very glassy, very cool, sonic collage.
