Great, I'm sending some now.

Nah, I actually like The Bedroom Tapes quite a bit, "We Your Dearest Friends" in particular. Her new one is a covers album called Moonlight Serenade and it sounds atrocious. I doubt I'll be buying it.

I just got them. I'm going to download them and e-mail the mp3s to myself and all and hopefully I'll have the computer working at home today or tomorrow. I hope so because I am lost without the internet! Anyway, thank you.

Oh my. I haven't even heard about that one. It seems that her voice is not what it used to be. I really prefer her 70s-80s material.

Right now I remeber a song, I just called to sy I love you, by Stevie Wonder. I hated it, but recently and after listening carefully the words, I found it very romantic, and I like it a lot.

I did love it! They were playing at The Independant, and I actually went to 2 shows. It was fagpop heaven...

I found The Bedroom Tapes to be among the finest things she's ever done. "So Many Stars" is my "feeling suffocated but isolated at the same time in New York" song- it's scary how she gets it. However, I must admit that the last song, "For You, George," is the most tuneless, meandering piece of dreck that should have totally been left off of the album. Ironically it is a song about breaking through her own writer's block. .

I do agree that her newest album is not sounding too great... methinks she is trying to jump onto the Rod Stewart bandwagon. Oy... I guess I'll buy it only if I decide to take up "fox trot" lessons. Still... that shamelessly airbrushed picture of her on the cover is worth a good laugh or two.
