I think "God is in the details" is often attributed to Gustave Flaubert, and later to the architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. |

I'm so glad I listen to RP every day, for new discoveries like this. Gilmore has a rich voice that completely draws me in. Bill, you're gonna make me spend more money!

It sounds like she's saying 'Little Jean Chretiens made of rags and bones'  I can think of some Canadians who would like to have a Stephen Harper voodoo doll. Not sure about a Jean Chretien voodoo doll though...  |

I like this. The minor chord thing gets into an edgy groove.

My problem is the amount of stuff on my list that is out of stock :|
Blasted Amazon.co.uk; their attitude seems to be if it isn't main stream rubish or 'cult' we wont stock it. I'm thinking of making one of them Amazon lists and calling it "CDs that look great, but we'll never know if we only shop here".
BTW, I bought the album and it's mostly good tracks, so money well spent IMHO. |

Quite a disappointment. This is certainly the best tune on the album and the rest are striving to match - if not blatantly imitating - it. The songs arent out right BAD, but none have the potential that this one possesses.
Same here - bought for Pirate Moon, which is a great song, but only found one or two other good ones on the CD....

saw Thea live at Islington Academy last month, a truly fantastic concert in a cracking intimate venue 
she also has a vast back catalogue for someone of her tender years which I've just begun to investigate |
