*She's a _FAR CRY_ from Minnie Mouse ;)*

Posted over 4 years ago
Gonna make this quick... nearly quittin time & I am looking forward to being like a vegetable when I get home... as Pretty Woman would say... Cop a Squat.Before I go - wanted to let you in on a secret... Minnie Driver can sing. In fact - she's not half bad... might even see if I can pick up this album of hers. I've heard three of the tracks & they all have me tappin my toes & humming along. Not much on YouTube, but I found this one & I am rather fond of it - even on first listen. (I'd also check out Beloved - unbelievably beautiful love song).

  2. Lizziegreeneyes says The one with RA & the Cs is Beloved - unfortunately I presently only have the snippet in the title bar. It's an amazing song... The video is for *Everything I've Got in My Pocket*

  4. Augusts1 says I knew she had an album out, read a review about it in Spin that wasn't too favorable about it, not that that kept me from checking it out. I just wasn't that interested in pursuing it. That song/vid you posted isn't too bad though, thanks for posting it LGE.

  5. Mike the Knife says She's for real, Lizzie. Saw a set. She was sweet-voiced and emotive and her songs feel genuine. In terms of on-stsge personality, she's very unaffected and, of course, quite attractive. You may miss her if you blink, but her brief performance as the Russian country singer/bimbo in the James Bond film "Goldeneye" was pretty damned funny (and sexy).

  7. chucky says Not my thing really but you are right - her voice is very nice. Awhile back (a long while back, ahem) I had a Mila Jovavich CD - you know the model/actress chick? I can't remember now what it sounded like, but I do remember enjoying the hell out of it.

  11. ketut says Why do I always think of The Mouse & the Motorcyle when I see her name? You don't know either? Crap. Not my cup of tea, but then I lean toward PJ or Sleater Kinney then her or Feist (sorry Mike, most of Feist's songs put me to sleep) Soooo. Lovely weather we're having aint it?
