I absolutely love her second album. Her voice is incredible.

I love "Hometown Glory" from her first album (thank you SYTYCD). My favorite from 21 is still "Turning Tables."

Because books.

Her first album was great, too! The cover of "Make You Feel My Love" is beautiful.

I just love her voice. And her look. And her everything, pretty much.

Now I'm watching her in fairly stripped down live performances on You Tube. She makes it look easy.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm finding myself bitter about betrayals that never happened.

exactly! She is like that false memory hypnosis!

Heh. I'm sure she'd love that review, actually.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Scary quote gleaned from Ta-Nehisi Coates, in an interview with an FBI agent:

So what crimes are the mob likely to be involved in now that they wouldn't have been involved in twenty years ago?

We've had numerous cases that illustrate their involvement in the stock market. They're infiltrating the financial sector a lot more than they did twenty or thirty years ago. The days of "give me a thousand dollars or I'm gonna break your legs" explicitly stated to someone and captured on tape, I think, are over. The forms of extorting individuals are now concealed in inflated invoices, they're concealed in control of high-level executives at companies.

If organize crime infiltrated a hedge fund, how could you tell?

The video for Adelle's Chasing Pavements makes me cry every time.

If organize crime infiltrated a hedge fund, how could you tell?

Is there a punchline about hedgehogs with broken kneecaps in there?

I am leaning more and more toward burying money in my backyard everyday. Or I would be if I had money.

If I had money to bury in my backyard, I'd have tons of motivation to actually garden in my little plot. I'd plant Lunaria.

She's got a powerful voice. I'm sure I've run across her on WTMD, though with the short commute, don't listen to it as much. On her youtube channel, the featured vid reminds me in power and turn of KT Tunstall's Black Horse and the Cherry Tree.
