Stops me cold every time I hear this.  And yes, the live version is better - I miss the whistling when I listen to the CD.

One of the gazillion things I like about this station is the very high percentage of excellent and innovative women musicians played.  Certainly "rock" music has become more egalitarian in the last 20 years, but I bet RP plays more women musicians than most other internet stations.

Oh and Happy New Year everyone!  {#Cheers}

Whoa, G! Sorry I missed it before on "nearly every day". Must have been distracted by, oh, I don't know, work, or life. I'll listen more attentively next time. My bad.

In b/w because the colours just frankly looked disgusting :P A picture I like because it shows her apart from that dark and shy artist/person she accused of beeing all the time :)

 
Thanks for all your images Calypso, Great work!!!

They have similar voices, but musically they're pretty different.
