Lynn Cornell's voice doesn't really sound like her, but there's something in her delivery that kind of reminds me of Shirley Bassey. (It's Shirley's birthday today, if you're interested!) Hope you're all better soon, Sheila.

I know you lived in London, but did you also live in Japan for a while, Sheila? You seem to be extremely well-versed in Japanese pop! I really loved those Japanese Christmas songs you played, btw.

Much fun music. Im a sucker for slow stuff, like that niiiice "season of the witch". (And may it be the season of Bronwyn B, and good$1 finds at strand books. I got eggers, krassner, and shrigley books. All to be given away)
