I'm hearing more Aimee Mann-ish than Suzanne Vega-ish.

Liked this song enough to register with RP so I could say so.

I'm with you all the way to the "I like it" part.

Hmm, vega sings/talks in a similar monotonous dissafected way at about the same pitch and speed. What's so different about it?

I'm thinking more Nellie McKay then Suzanne Vega.

Though I'm sure someone is going to point out to me that Nellie McKay is just Suzanne Vega also.

I like it.

On and off. The title track is great, several others are just OK, finishes with a flourish. Overall, maybe a "6"? jean-louis wrote:

Little Keren Ann Vega. Not quite all growed up yet.

Decent, but not at the level of her "big sister."

I really enjoyed this song...if anyone is familiar with "Les Miserables"...parts of this song sound like "At the End of the Day"...does anyone else hear that?

Interesting pairing with The Smiths. At first I thought she might be the "female Morrisey," but then she started singing 90 miles an hour.

Still, this is pretty nifty.

Can we pump some more VAST or something into the system?

I thought she was French...if so, she's doing a great job with the débit of the song. And I'm hearing a bit of Suzanne Vega-ness.

EDIT: She's far more than French:

Singer/songwriter Keren Ann Zeidel, who records under the name Keren Ann, was born in Israel in 1974 to a Dutch-Javanese mother and a Russian-Israeli father. She was nine when her parents bought her a guitar, on which she learned to play songs by Joni Mitchell and Serge Gainsbourg. In the years to come, she would also learn to play the harmonica and the clarinet. Zeidel and her family, including a brother and sister, lived in Israel and Holland before settling in Paris, France, when she was 11.


Emphasis mine, bien sûr.

I know RP is traditionally more laid back than other alternative stations (and extremely more alternativately alternative), but I'm starting to nod off this morning. Can we pump some more VAST or something into the system?

Cool song - good rythm to her lyrics. Spare in kind of a cool way.
