Yeah, it's definitely an innovative and interesting LP, plus she's quite hot.

Thanks for the heads up about the tickets.

Cheers for the advice.
Arhkboob and myself tried it and got on the guest list, no problem.
(our friends who'd payed were a wee bit pissed off!)

Due to the fact it was free, we turned up at about 10:30 in a drunk/stoned stupor and caught her last 4 songs: some Great Yarmouth and other coastal name drops put the Larkman Vorhees camp in high spirits.

Her music is ace but i did just see her on tv at Glastonbury and she didn't seem all that good live. I'm glad I didn't make the 6 hour journey home to see her.

I have been trying 2 catch her on the glasto tv coverage... did she play there fri or is it sunday she is on

I'm skeptically any time i hear someone mentioned as "the next big thing", stinks of record company interference and viral marketing. I heard the gig was organised by Clear Channel as well, which doesn't exactly fill me with confidence.
