Really, Really, Really, Really, Really can't fuckin' stand her. -- Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, February 18, 2003
i wouldn't go that far but i am truly baffled at what people see/hear in her.

"i like how she doesn't feel like she has to be eccentric ALL THROUGH THE RECORD... it comes and goes in a flash, like a kid keying the paint job on your car and running away before you can see who did it. and then it doesn't even feel like "look, i'm being eccentric now!" those moments are just nice little parenthetical burps that don't in any way ruin the mood she's created."
This is so right. I'm still baffled and enthralled by "Living It Up" and "Pirates (So Long Lonely Avenue)" - the way they careen dizzily from breezy uptempo soft-focus jazz rock to these sudden burst-through moments of awed and awesome solemnity.

I've listened to Pirates so much in the past year and a bit. It's probably in my top ten albums ever at this stage. The moment I refer to the above where the title track goes all eerie soft ambience is so astonishing, in precisely the way jody describes it.

man. traces of the western slopes shouldn't work, but it is so amazing. i feel like i've actively resisted going back into a rlj phase for several years and now i fear for my psyche
