One of my favourite music acts is a lady by the name of "Storm Large":http://www.stormlarge.com - she gained some fame this year as a contestant on Rock Star: Supernova, but she's been wowing music fans in the Portland and SF scenes for years (previously as frontwoman for Storm & Her Dirty Mouth, Storm Inc, a solo singer, and now with The Balls).Introducing me to her music is the best thing one of my exes ever did for me, and I spent a lot of time and money scouring obscure music stores to try and track it down - especially tricky when you live in Australia!Now she's got some exposure that's much easier, and I just stumbled across "Storm Downloads":http://stormdownloads.com/, a site full of bootleg mp3s and videos - everything from the early days through to recent TV appearances on RSSN. I've managed to buy physical or electronic copies of just about everything in her oeuvre except one album from last year, 'Vasectomy', which is rare as hen's teeth unfortunately, and a few very early tracks she did in collaboration with electronica artists.She's got a hell of a voice without being overwrought, and she pens all her own songs - although recent tracks have tended towards being interesting covers and mashups of old standards, her early work is all original and really great stuff.I should probably close by pimping Storm's current single Ladylike; you can buy it from iTunes "here.":http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewArtist?id=190788673p=.
