She's actually kind of an adorable Australian chick who dances jerkily under blacklights in weird glo paint outfits. I'd recommend anyone go to a show of hers, she's hilarious. She'll be up here in Seattle in Feb, I'll be there. I saw her at the Croc a month or two ago, great show... One of the last I ever saw there...

Interesting.
I'm gonna go ahead and request an upload, though I understand if it's ignored.

So not surprisingly I caved in and bought it today instead of waiting 'til my next pay-cheque. What the hell, I've still got money in the bank, right?
Anyway, it's really lovely! And I don't mean that in a back-handed or patronising way. It reminds me a little of Dusty in Memphis, in the way it managed to be incredibly soulful without being necessarily very punchy. Perhaps a more apt comparison would be to Cat Power's the Greatest, but with less horns and more strings (same great Memphis-style drumming throughout, though). As far as recent 60s-soul-inspired albums go, I enjoyed it infinitely more than I enjoyed Amy Winehouse's Back to Black (which I didn't think was really all that great, to be honest). True, some of the songs on Some People Have Real Problems stray a little close to M.O.R. territory, but good taste always prevails. Overall, a very promising start to 2008!

Harry, have you checked out Sharon Jones And The Dap-Kings yet?
Inlander:
No. Presumably I should?
