Musicbrainz DBWhen you sing
When you sing
The stars fill up my eyes
Galaxies pour down my cheeks
Galaxies
Galaxies that flood the street
Galaxies
When we dance
When we dance
Eels and seagrass float on by
I'm ten thousand leagues beneath the sea
ten thousand leagues
ten thousand leagues
ten thousand leagues beneath the green
ten thousand leagues
When we kiss
When we kiss
Bears and boulders vibrate through the air
Gravity is dead you see
All I need is beating red
No gravity...

Perhaps you meant geology? Either way, nice to hear a Carleton alum on RP! And yes, it is a really good school.  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. I'm happy to see that she has released an EP of acoustic folk, Two Beers Veirs |

| Pazzat (Winchester, England) | Posted: Apr 30, 2009 - 09:28 She's well worth seeing live. She does a really great solo set with delays and pedals creating multi-guitar and vocal tracks. |

| Mari (île de lesvos) | Posted: May 22, 2007 - 16:20 Laura is totally Indie  in sound and by all appearances!  Magnificent! |

| ManchesterUK (Manchester UK) | Posted: Jun 06, 2006 - 05:44 Just heard this again and i've had to up the rating from 7 to 9. I know, sounds a bit crazy but it's really grown on me. Plus I think she's kinda cute in a school teacher type of way ! |

I got maybe three issues of the free subscription, then a letter saying they were cancelling the magazine. They transferred all the subscriptions to Paste, which I was buying anyway! /Good Karma that day Same story here. I bring it to work after I am through reading it and put it in, well, let's say a place where a lot of reading takes place. Several of my freeloading co-workers will send me email asking when I'm bringing in the next issue for the "library." Great magazine. |
