"Former Lover" by Saint Etienne, from their "Tiger Bay" album.

The music is so gorgeous and Sarah Cracknell's vocals are so beautiful - sad and comforting at the same time, and so perfectly understated - listening to it is like pulling a big heavy blanket around myself on a cold Chicago winter day.

Sigh. cloud9

(and of course, this gives me another reason to post a picture of the distractingly adorable ms. cracknell. love )

there's some dude from the charlatans posing with her, but i don't know WHO could possibly be interested in HIM. giggle

"Don't Dream It's Over" by Crowded House wouldn't count as unknown, so:

"Nails in My Feet" - Crowded House
"How Will You Go" - Crowded House


Another Crowded House fan in here! thumbs up!

I was beginning to think I was the only one. Glad I was wrong!

My choices would be "Distant Sun", "Fall at Your Feet" and the incredible "Four Seasons in One Day" though. The latter must be one of the best pop songs ever written, I have no clue why no one knows it.

I'd say those would all qualify. There's no shortage of beautiful Crowded House songs.

Agreed! Maybe Neil Finn should give songwriting lessons to some younger people (to help them improve their stuff).

Bic Runga is excellent. I think her second album, Beautiful Collision, is her best, but all three are good.

You've heard "Sway" if you've seen the movie American Pie.

hmm American Pie was just on TV here the other day. I'm sort of remembering that song now. hmmm Maybe I should check her out. I've heard she's great live.

OMG, how could I miss this girl? Damn, I just heard some song samples of her online (I've always wondered who did that beautiful song in "American Pie"), and you can be sure to find me in a record store tomorrow!

Bic Runga is awesome. She's one of the best contemporary pop song writers around, people just don't know of her because she's from New Zealand.

Listen, I'm gonna put it like it is: if I like some mainstream pop that much musician she's got to be really good. razz

Damn, I just checked her tourdates and found out that she played in Oxford last night!!! She'll come back here in a few weeks, but as a support act for James Blunt, and there's no way to get me to buy a concert ticket for James fucking Blunt!!!

Indeed, Bic is great live. I saw her open for the Finn Brothers last year. Neil actually played in her band for her latest album, Birds. It also doesn't hurt that she's easy on the eyes...

Saw the video for "One Evening" on MTV a few months ago and bought the album two days later. Really beautiful.

It's on the Lennon album Some Time in New York. I can't wholly recommend the album, though there's some decent stuff on it. There's a 2nd disc with some weird jams with Frank Zappa, including one called Scumbag!
