Yes she did!  She named herself after the Domino Sugar warehouse.

SUPER GREAT TUNE!!  The more I hear this, the better it gets, and the more I like it!  RP introduced me to her. That is why we come here.   Thanx RP!

Cool Dave! Is that an album or 12 inch single? I don't see that listed on AMG.

That is one of the coolest record jackets I've seen in a long time! 

I  LOVE her contralto voice,  Along with Diana Krall, Samantha Fish & Amy Winehouse!!   
Her VOICE IS AWESOME!!   The musicianship is  AWESOME!!  Thanx RP!   
Though quite shy as a child, Anna was also a bit of a show off and her hobby of memorizing and reciting comedy records in high school led to her expulsion shortly before graduation.
 
Ahh I like her already.  Reminds me of reciting George Carlin and Redd Foxx bits on the schoolbus back in the 1980s. The other kids loved it... any entertainment was good on a boring bus ride, especially when it was risque cutting edge comedy.
thought it was Koop when I first heard it. enjoy it more each time it plays

Whenever I hear the beginning of this song I start singing, "Lie still, little bottle..."  Pretty darned similar to that old TMBG tune. 


i played that through the laptop speakers for the overlapping music - and smiled. Definite similarity but has more to do with the snapping fingers and beat. I'd never heard this one before, thanks for the reference!
what an amazing sound - I will have to listen to more of her music

The incessant finger snapping grates on the nerves after awhile
Never heard this till now - it works for me! Solid "7"
Bill you are on fire!
Great playlist.
Oh my gosh ... it has been decades when I heard this song the last time.
Thank you for this pleasent flash back ... still a nice little song. 
wicked  : )
Had kind of a Patsy Kline attitude to it.

Whoa.  And a few years later, without seeing this comment, I write almost the exact same thing.

Anybody else hear echoes of the Violent Femmes, Gone Daddy Gone?

 
Nope, not really.  This has more of a late 1950s or early '60s vibe to me.  Like Peggy Lee or some torch singer of that era.

I know you guys don't take requests.. but how about Step Right Up by Tom Waits ?
 
That does get played occasionally.  It is either hated or loved, not much between..ha

Edit:  And 2 seconds after I hit submit...there you have it...wow:

Its a 12" 45 rpm 4 song EP

Rythm (Spelled that way on lp and cover)
Sixteen Tons
Half of Myself
Target

"Les disques du crepuscule" 12TW1520 Made in Brussels

More dynamic and better bass than the CD version

Reminds me of Nellie McKay. (Or I should say Nellie McKay reminds me of Anna Domino).

Woa. She looks like the sister of that lovely lady on "V".

Nice, I'm snapping my fingers, too! {#Cool}

Nice set going....
Definitely interesting ... I need to listen to it with good speakers ... {#Sunny}
I have the vinyl LP of this, good stuff. I don't get the low rating either.
A bit drab.

I'd love to hear her version of "Land of My Dreams"...beautiful and haunting...

Sheesh...not even! This is preferred.

Nice to hear Anna Domino on RP and somehow, not surprising.

Very cool!
 
My sentiments, exactly. (what are you doing up at this hour, anyway? heh)

Very cool!
Very West Side Storyish
Kinda cool. Kind of Peggy Lee'ish
Isn't there a Joe Jackson song just like this, only better?
I see a dimly lit jazz club, everyone is wearing black turtlenecks. then audrey hepburn comes in and starts doing interpretive dance like in the film funny face (used for gap recently)
Blecch.
Wow, that's a long time... Anna Domino. I only knew her from a song she did with Luc Van Acker back in the eighties, called "Zanna". One of my favourite songs back then (still is a great song).  
So Bill, if you read this and you have "Zanna", please play it, I know you would make alot of Belgian peeps happy.

Btw, nice playlist today!


Anna Domino, lead singer for Snakefarm, a band I enjoy greatly. This is the first I've heard of her solo work. Not sure what I think yet.....I don't hate it.
All I could think of was TMBG's "Lie still, little bottle..."
Anno Domini ...
Reminds me of Yello. That's a good thing.

wasn't looking for the cleverness til I caught your post out of the corner of my eye - wouldn't it be punnier if it was Anni(e) Domino?

That's what gets results!
Nice to seem Piano used like the percussion instrument it is :)
:sunny.gif:
Being a percussionist-I love the congas in this song.
The piano part reminds me of TMBG's "Lie Still, Little Bottle," and probably a dozen old songs.

She sounds like 99.9-era Suzanne Vega. Pretty groovy. I like the bass line a lot.
I suppose someone had to be a "pop"-ier Laurie Anderson.
