Wine: Keep a red and a white on hand at all times. When choosing wines on the wine aisle, use this simple rhyme to make your selection: “Closer to the floor, is meant for the poor / closer to the lights, is more like for if Bono comes over.” -=RAY=-

Corinne Bailey Rae
« on: October 11, 2006, 10:47:50 pm »
I had never heard of her prior to her being the musical guest on SNL this weekend, but I got her album and haven't enjoyed a new album as much in ages.

If you like sexy girl jazz I highly recommend her debut album.

Good stuff.

I'm going to check her out.

Also, in the realm of songstresses, everyone should check out Regina Spektor if you haven't already.  I've been hooked on her for quite some time now.  With influences like Ella Fitzgerald, Chopin mixed with a little punk, she's pretty amazing.  Her earlier albums 11:11 and Songs are more jazz influenced (and not as developed), Soviet Kitsch and Begin to Hope are stronger and add a layer of anti-folk. 

Also, jough, she's in Chicago 10/15/06 @ Park West, and apparently her live shows are amazing.  There's lots of her live stuff on YouTube, and it's phenomenal.  I will die of jealousy if you get to see her. 

She's on a cross US tour right now, so check her out if you can!
