« on: August 15, 2007, 07:56:54 am »
I love One Cell in the Sea, it's soo good! Alison's voice is so beautiful.
Right now my fav songs are You Picked Me and The Minnow & The Trout
Murillo, here is her bio:

Quote from: "Afinefrenzy.com"
A Fine Frenzy is the music of 22 year-old Alison Sudol.
Born in Seattle to dramatic-arts teacher parents, Alison moved to Los Angeles at the age five. With her newly single mother, Alison moved frequently around the city. She developed a strong love for the fantastic literary worlds of CS Lewis, EB White, Lewis Carroll and Charles Dickens, while becoming a passionate author in her own right.
Alison also immersed herself in classical music, Motown, Aretha Franklin, swing bands, Ella Fitzgerald, Elton John, Louis Armstrong, the Beatles, Technicolor movies and classic 1950's television.
After teaching herself to play piano, Alison increasingly invested her internal narratives into song form. She found solace in the melodic melancholia of new global British bands Aqualung, Radiohead, Coldplay and Keane, etc... She was also moved by the diatonic minimalism of Philip Glass and the transportive allure of Icelandic music (Bjork, Sigur Ros.) Inspired, Alison developed the sound of A Fine Frenzy - hypnotic piano arrangements under classic American melody fused into irresistible, atmospheric songs with the power to reach around the world.

Ghis, i bought a second copy tonight if you want me to ship it to you let me know.
I also bought the book she mentioned so I thought i'd check it out. Has anyone else read it? The book is Sarah by JT LeRoy
-katia
yes, a long time ago(5 years ago I think) I read Sarah and a couple of years ago I read "Maldito Coração" (I think it's The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things in english) which is really intense , I recommend both books.

Quote from: "Ghisy"Quote from: "zurielshimon"Quote from: "Ghisy"Quote from: "zurielshimon"She's already resorted to giving it an alternate title at some shows. :wink:
You mean like "A Thousand F**ing Miles"? :lol:
That would be the one.
I loved the alternate title.
It wasn't nearly as funny the second time I saw her. I wish she was more natural in concert... so many of the things she says sound very premeditated. Forgive me for not remembering any examples :?
I know what you mean, the song introductions are always told the same way. like Atm about her mom hearing it and the dog barking and the mtv censoring, OD about the 30 minutes writting and her having Add,WTS about being for unnaproved couples, also the irv story about atm,about stevie nicks...but you have to remember, most people in the crowd(except for the nessaholics) don't see her live that often, so for them it's the first time hearing the jokes. And can you you imagine making up different ways to tell stuff with the pressure to entertain different crowds every show?! so of course by the last show of the tour her jokes will sound like an automatic script for those who've already seen her, but for the rest, it will still be the first time.

Quote from: "zurielshimon"Quote from: "Vultch"dont know if this has been posted yet, but I got a promo email from Universal Motown and had the cover pic:
Who is it that can't seem to spell "Thieves" right? :?
oooo dang, I didn't even notice that!
I hope that's not gonna slip as the actual album cover...
that would be terrible :/
....someone should realllllly be notified of this... before it actually gets released with a spelling error
I didn't notice that either...but on the website the logo is correct...and if vanessa had drawn that, wouldn't she notice? :lol: Also on the promo nolita fairytale cover it is also correct, so I don't get it, why would that mispelling be there :/

I posted it on the website thread, but why not post here too
But I'm sure that is not the actual cover, just the same logo of the website
