When we kiss, when we kiss
Bears and boulders vibrate through the air
Gravity is dead you see

Shouldn't we be having a wake?

I went to Carleton at the same time as Laura and as far as I know, the school doesn't offer a major in geography.  Perhaps you meant geology?

Either way, nice to hear a Carleton alum on RP!  And yes, it is a really good school. {#Yes}

 

I got geography from the poster I quoted. Wikipedia lists her academic focus as geology and Mandarin, courses of study, no doubt, that have been indispensible to her music career.{#Wink}

I'm happy to see that she has released an EP of acoustic folk, Two Beers Veirs , and is working on a new LP, July Flame.

Laura must be pretty smart, though...Carleton is a top-ranked school in Northfield, MN, the town where the James gang had their demise. I'm glad they still offer majors in geography.

She does the female vocal on The Decembersists' heartbreaking Yankee Bayonet on The Crane Wife.

She's well worth seeing live. She does a really great solo set with delays and pedals creating multi-guitar and vocal tracks.

this ordinary looking girl's voice backed by grungy guitar licks is interesting

First heard this cut on a free Paste CD. Nice! Laura is a 1997 graduate of Carelton College in MN, where she majored in Geography. She made the cover of their alumni magazine this month! Now that's success!

With that kind of success, who needs a Grammy?

She could try to look a little more Indie on the cover of her album, but it's a nice song )))))

Pretty standard, decent emo. But from a chick! For me, enough to raise it from a 6 to a 7.

I was impressed by the album as a whole, and if you like this song and the other song Bill had been playing (Cool Water) I'd strongly recommend buying this. One of the best CDs I've bought from hearing some tracks played here.
