Some things go so well together its like destiny or something. Peanutbutter and jelly for instance, or coffee and doughnuts. Its quite a long list, really. But I don't think Ani DiFranco and Jackie Chan would ever make the list! I admire Ani DiFranco so much. How could one not love such a strong independent woman?She sings her heart with her soul in mind, and offers perspectives to me that a...

as my shuffle spews it's amorphous philosophy and in turn, sets my mind to wandering. Not a good thing when going for a run and almost becoming one with a tree.Back to the point - two songs, one leading into another and each so powerful in it's own right. Making a statement, issueing a plea, fighting their way through life.The red button song at first appears to be over, but there is a coda tac...

I think there are few artists as raw, open, unabashedly honest, unashamed, at times gentle, & others rough. She brushes up against you like sandpaper, then gently lulls you with a song of love that stays true to her soul. For her, "Every tool is a weapon if you hold it right". *+She's an Enigma+*. There are countless female artists that I love for as many different reasons as there are arti...

It's pretty interesting to continue to see how Ani DiFranco's music evolves from year to year. She one of the few artists in the world that absolutely answers to no one but herself. Here's a track off her upcoming album, Red Letter Year.

Good timing has never been an attribute of mine. But what I lack in promptness, I make up for with sincerity.This would have been the perfect track to share for Mother's Day.This song is another great example of just why it is that I am in awe of great songwriters. Artists like DiFranco have an uncanny knack for turning their pain into melody and harmony. Take 'Not Angry Anymore' for example. W...

"Creative Loafing":http://www.creativeloafing.com/ is a website geared for interest in music, art, and film. They provide "Shelter From The Mainstream" as they say on their opening page and they do a damn good job I say. I feel fortunate to have them report on the fun going on locally ??and?? thanks to them I know there's still artists and dancers in the bay area aside from strippers! So, ye...

Let me start by admitting that I have not followed Ani much in the last few years, the last album I bought was Revelling / Reckoning, but before that I was quite the avid fan. Most of my ex-girlfriends have actually been jealous of her.... So she comes to town 10 years after I saw her here last and I must say she is still so right on. The show was nothing spectacular, started early, ended ea...

Photo by Sally MahoneySeems Mog ate my last post. Strange. That makes two posts that have mysteriously disappeared.This track popped up on my MP3 Player yesterday morning and I thought it would make a great track for a Happy New Year post... so here we are.Even though the situation described in the lyrics paint a pretty bleak picture, there's still a glimmer of hope shimmering under the surface...

Despite keeping a relatively low profile in 2007, singer/songwriter Ani DiFranco will tour the US in 2008, barely missing a stop. She will start '08 off with a two week east coast tour, kicking off in Huntington, NY on January 17th. DiFranco heads back to the road on March 3rd in Athens, OH and will play the Langerado Music Festival in the Florida everglades March 9th. Her tour, in support of ...
