I'd like to draw your attention to the new garageband.com page for piano-playing singer-songwriter Anne Heaton, who is funkier than the piano-playing singer-songwriter you're imagining. "Megan and Kevin" is irresistibly cute, or, if you're more cute-resistant than I am, try "Take Your Desire".

In other music news, I've discovered that my iPod contains, all in an alphabetical row:

• "Poor Little Fish" by the Jayhawks, from Sound of Lies
  
• "Poor Napoleon" by Elvis Costello, accompanied live by Bill Frisell
  
• "Poor, Poor L.A." from Tim Easton's latest record

This makes me happy. So does this lyric, from the Tim Easton song:

A pack of dull monkeys could write circles around that fourth-grade, mumbly-slang, stream-of-consciousness jive that you call a song--is that gonna be your story?

Every now and then, when I'm having a really lousy day, my little SEMagic icon in my system tray starts flashing and I click on it and it's a post of yours about some band or musician and I listen and it blows me away.

In case I never said it before, thanks much for that.

Anne ROCKS. I've seen her many times and have enjoyed every single one of them.

Cool. I haven't managed to see her yet--or even buy the live album--but I can well imagine she'd be good.

i bought the latest tim easton a few weeks back but haven't gotten around to listening to it yet.

Yeah, get on that! Actually I don't care if you get around to listening to the whole album, but you should listen to that first track over and over again.

On the other hand, I post endlessly about bands and musicians and never manage to blow anyone away.

Sullen,
