...and I'm listening to said Harriet comp and damn good stuff it is so thanks to dlp/curmudgeon/Evan for the prompt. Sad that she's not more famous.

Okay so Linda Smith's cover of "In Love" is one of the most majestic, beautiful things I've ever heard. That is all.

I think Linda's just quietly living in Baltimore and is not that musically active. Lida's been quiet lately too, but she's recording a new cd.

She got a big shoutout on Sound Opinions this week. I'd never heard of her, but they played a song that was to my ears a dead ringer for Liz Phair. She even had that same kind of tuneless voice.

i randomly thought about Lida Husik recently and looked to see if she'd put anything out lately -- apparently the only thing she's released since 1999 was a 2006 digital single, guess she's out of the game.

SoCal electronic performer. That's a flashback to see his name again!

x-postHer website says she was gonna record an album in 2010 but I guess that never happened.

Had Joyride and My Bag long ago. Used to spin Joyride a lot. Never heard her later stuff. Great voice.

People are still posting on her facebook fan page, but there's no mention of new gigs or an album anymore
