I mean, I have as short an attention span as the rest of us. (well, maybe not that short...). I always forget stuff, and it's not like I sit around drawing her picture on the knee of my jeans in class. Why has my crush on her not worn off yet? Sure she's awesome, but so is a lot of other music that doesn't always grab me when I hear it. You know, when it comes up on shuffle, or at someone else's house, or at the grocery store (I KNOW, it's lame), or even on mother f'ing KFOG. Every time. That record ("Fundamental") sounds so awesome and 3D, her vox are big and in your face, the guitars are sweet, the bottom end is hitting, and the band is cool (David Hidalgo, Joey Spampinato, Pete f'ing Thomas!). And you got Mitch Froom and Tchad Blake at the desk, still putting their cool flavor on everything (compressed drum sounds, distorted vocals, cool small reverbs, weird percussion, you know what I mean), but they also have the good sense to lay off the hipster trickiness long enough to get out of the way of the songs and of Bonnie Raitt's SEXY ASS PERFORMANCES. She is so cool. If you can take a little cheesy "old person" vibe in your musical day, do your self a favor, this record is just good.
