Googling her turned up, in the first few results, her collaboration with David Bowie on his Reality tour: a live version of one of my favorite songs of all time. The original is tough to beat, but this version just fills me with awe and wonder:
I'm definitely picking up her stuff, tout sweet. There's something wonderful about discovering a new talent you've never known before. It's even more wonderful when that talent absolutely blows you away.
That's how I feel about Cake. Their Comfort Eagle album (cd) is the only one I have ever been tempted to play at work. Normally I don't care for music in the office, although I get plenty of it from the woman next door who trills opera to herself all day - right on the other side of my wall!
ReplyDeleteAwesome performance. She is on a song on Dar Williams' live CD too, but I had never looked up her other work before. Off to iTunes!
ReplyDeleteI was excited because I thought I was going to get to hear "Ice, Ice Baby." What I got was way better though.
ReplyDeleteNote: I didn't actually expect Vanilla Ice.
