“She sounds very Europeanâ€
“like she’s from the 1960’s or 70’s in Spain or Italyâ€
“it sounds dramatic, but I cant understand a word she says. I think she says “emergency†in one song though…â€
“I look forward to taking a listen to some more of her works in the near future…†(was that a hint for a burned c.d? hmmmm…)
he then preceded to ask me “who my favorite dessert island people were†to which I gave him a funny look, thinking he was looking for me to say something anthropological. My answer would have been, having grown up in New England and living par time in Maine, the my favorite would have to be the people of Mount Desert Island, near Acadia National Park. They are such a pleasant people. But he was asking me if I was stuck on a deserted island which 3 musical artists would I want to have the music of with me. First off I like that this island is deserted, yet has electricity or an endless supply of environmentally friendly disposable batteries, along with the sound system this island apparently has. Secondly if I had enough time to prepare my musical preferences before being stranded, I probably would have also made plans for my rescue.
Anyway, I told him that I am not sure how to make a decision like that, and he told me to just choose the first 3 that came to the top of my head. So hastily decided, my choices were 1: Bjork (of course) 2: Belle and Sebastian 3: Cibo Matto. When I turned the question around on him, he couldn’t decide, got disinterested with the conversation and wandered off. This is what Joz and I put up with all day long. We are martyrs really… Behold the glory of our suffering.
