Current music:alina simone - from great knowledge

hardly the center of the world.
Finally got a copy of Alina Simone's Yanka cover album, Everyone is Crying out to Me, Beware.

I'm not saying you need it. But it has, as the reviewers have said, a mournful and elegant beauty, and you might need a little of that. I add the comment that these tracks are suffused, at their best, with a claustrophobic low-fi terror that I think everyone should experience periodically. For me, at least, it reminds me of the grandeur that exists beyond the lit bubble of my apartment.

Highly recommended, if a little uneven. I think it's best listened to through cheap desktop computer speakers -- and I don't just say that because that's what I'm using for the foreseeable future.

You can hear the first track at http://www.indyweek.com/gyrobase/Content?oid=oid%3A261750 . Why wait?
