    Much love for Ms. Apple.

    Q1: Paper Bag is definitely up there

    Shadow Boxer is another favorite.

    The whole of When the Pawn... is incredible

    Q2: I think she gets a bad rap for being opinionated. She rubbed people the wrong way with her PETA rants, and her seeming obsessive work-ethic when it comes to her albums, leading to long periods of time between albums -- that tends to kill anticipation for most artists. She ended up shedding fans and listeners. The hardcore fans look for new stuff, but the more casual fans will just lose interest, and stop looking for her name.

    Q3: When the pawn hits the conflicts he thinks like a king

    What he knows throws the blows when he goes to the fight

    And he'll win the whole thing before he enters the ring

    There's no body to batter when your mind is your might

    So when you go solo, you hold your own hand

    And remember that depth is the greatest of heights

    And if you know where you stand, then you know where to land

    And if you fall it won't matter, cuz you'll know that you're right

    Q4: probably an 8 -- its an evocative, bluesy voice. I enjoy her ability to emote, but she tends to use it more as detached, ambivalent observer.

    Q5: Paper Bag?

    MA: Wilco

    MA2: A shuffle from what is currently on my iPod:

    Wishing by Red Red Meat

    Do You Feel the Same? by Brakes Brakes Brakes

    Interiors by Manic Street Preachers

    Lua by Conor Oberst & Gillian Welch

    In a Radio Song by Okkervil River

    hi sabby!

    Absolute love for Fiona Apple

    q1: Sleep to Dream http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stuyVj8IOPg or Sullen Girl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifQzYuKCpYE

    q2: I feel that she got alot of deserved critical praise early in her career and she has a cult following but she has sunk into a bit of obscurity. I don't think the kids are as aware of her as they should be.

    q3: Either Tidal or When The Pawn....

    q4: Her voice is unique, beautiful, powerful and emotive.

    q5: I think JukeBox beat me to the Punch

    mq1: Wilco

    mq2: "Wild Cats of Kilkenny" The Pogues

    "Disintegration" The Cure

    "Insecurities" The Gits

    "Hymn to Love" Edith Piaf

    "Death Is Not a Parallel Move" Of Montreal

    living in the approach the woods without lighting fixtures round I oftentimes see a stunning showing of stars at nighttime. I continually experience a experience of awesomeness and gratefulness that the celebrities are there, and that i will see them. I oftentimes imagine of a blind chum of mine who lost her eyesight at age 5, and how she, and many different human beings not in any respect get to get excitement from some thing that we so actual take with no interest. i love to video exhibit the celebrities. Up till the time at the same time as my children left domicile, we continually sat out quite a few nights a week and watched the celebrities round a campfire at the same time as we had popcorn and talked. those were ultimate circumstances.
