Yeah, yeah and thrice yeah. It seems we have much musical love in common excepting empire of the sun which was an excellent film but a rather tedious novel.
I was fortunate enough to see her loveliness at the Hammersmith Apollo some moons ago and do think you should update your KB listening to BTD which will be released as a live album some weeks hence. In terms of historical reference, I have lurched from Nat King Cole to Beach Boys to Joni to Miles to LZ. Guilty pleasures include Oasis, tears for Fears and Sparks. Have a great evening and I look forward to further posts.
