during my lunch break i like to split my time wandering through the dual catacombs known popularly as borders and amoeba music. while at borders i often wander the back stacks, lost in oversized coffee table books of art by obscure artists, in a sea of graphic novels, each one a new world just waiting for me to populate it, or better yet in the maze of travel books and guides, each giving me a...

It seems like every year an indie chantreuse pops up and takes everyone by storm (think Feist) while a more complicated, equally impressive female vocalist gets relatively unnoticed (think St. Vincent).I have the feeling Basia will find herself in that second category - but that's certainly nothin' to be ashamed of.

The folk fest has been great so far and I've been trying to do a decent write-up quickly before getting back to the fest. "Quickly" has started to push well past 11am and there's still more to write, then add links and photos.
