I like the new album...but I will say that I find both "Here" and "Still I can't be still" more interesting lyrically and vocally. I think she's dumbing down a tad bit.

But this one is about really getting the audience. Maybe next time the rest of the world will get to see what she can really do.

Sigh. I hate the modern music business.

Agreed. And agreed. (though her unrecorded live stuff is among the most interesting and best stuff she's ever done IMO) And agreed. But at least Sara Bareilles hit it big. There's hope for lesbian-fandom-heavy musicians. Or as my sister says "I'll never be able to afford to see her live again!" We can only hope the same for Idina. May demand exceed supply.

It made a huge difference for me to finally hear the whole thing, in sequence, the other night. I got a sense of what she was trying to accomplish as an artist - not just individual snippets, but the whole thing as a complete piece of work. I find myself very impressed and very proud of her. It's a mature piece of art...she did good. (if you get the change listen in sequence - my guess is it'll start to cohere a little more....maybe... lol)

Anyway just an additional thought...the algorithm amused the hell out of me btw ;-)

Yeah we did. And you know I'd still pay and travel and skip class to see her live. Okay skipping class doesn't say much. The album is much better after a few drinks, btw. And it's growing on me even while sober. "Let Me Feel" especially. I miss you too. I'll be in CT for three weeks on business for an internship. Maybe we can meet in NYC or something sometime. But you'll be a big spring senior and all busy. Eh. Maybe I'll IM you and not tell you everything in my life in an LJ comment.
