Speeding cars.

Formerly of Frou Frou? Great voice.

Oh wow... I love this song, arse_hat.

Moments of pure pop bliss with more structured parts around it... "It's in the A B C's of growing up," indeed.

Let Go, for anyone who doesn't have it. Before the reboot of the Last.fm site, it was consistently in the top tracks -- which was how I found it.

How is it there are so many bands making EXACTLY the kind of music I like, and it takes me years to hear about them?

This is awesome stilicho- thank you.

"Let Go" was also on the Garden State soundtrack. "Shh" is a great track, but it would take me an hour to usendit on dial-up, so maybe I'll do it tomorrow. THANKS for Hide and Seek--Imogen will be around for a long time and do amazing things. I've been meaning to check out her "solo" stuff.

BP - thanks for this. I've heard this track before somewhere and it's a great track. As to why it takes so long to find stuff you like, I know exactly how you feel - I'm constantly finding bands that I like which have sneakily put several albums out without any thought to telling me about them :)

You may also like Oh Me, Oh My & Getting Scared, both from one of her earlier solo works, I Megaphone. It used to be really hard to get I Megaphone, but it's recently be re-released, so grab it while you can!

If you like Headlock, you'll love the rest of the album, Speak For Yourself. I can still remember the anticipation surrounding SFY, stoked by the short, tantalising samples on her site. For a few days, all I could was refresh and refresh. It was the first (and only) time that I'd bought a CD on the day of its release.

I ordered a copy off imogenheap.com. Too impatient to wait for it to arrive, I gave in to my desires and obtained an illegitimate copy and listened and listened and listened. A few days later, an autographed, numbered copy from the first 100 arrived. It was beautiful, but I'd heard the material already. I'd ruined the experience.

I suppose it just goes to show that digital downloads will never replace the real thing. (But damn, is it convenient and space-saving).

This photo that's one of the featured photos on the flickr home page is of Imogen - I just love it.

She has a flickr account, too. My favorite song of hers is Hide and Seek.

Oh, the photo came from here.

Oh, how cool ico... I've always liked that photo too. What a small world.

BP, the other song I like that fits that "sounded comforting, BUT" category is "Hear Me Out".

iconomy that was the photo that convinced me to get a flickr account and investigate the processing. from there I learned how to do faux-lomos, and I'm slowly figuring out the crossprocessing deal. it must be a year or so since I first saw it.

Me too, lfr! I actually came in and sat down to type that same comment here because I forgot to mention it. I was really captivated by that photo and decided to get a flickr account because of it. Wild. I wonder how many people it influenced, then?
