New Favourite Brandi Carlile →[More:]Her cover of Creep is so fucking special.

Cheers, LT

T Bone doesn't make bad records. FULL STOP. I defy anyone to play me a duff Burnett CD.

Yup. Every time I hear her "The Story" it stops me dead. Good stuff.

that's true about T Bone, chuckdarwin. Taste ain't in it.

The greatest thing about "The Story" as a song is how utterly banal the lyrics are. When you look at them written out, they're onion-skin thin. It's ALL in the performance, pacing, emotion, and musicality. Just like many of the great standards and traditional tunes - all the power is in the delivery.

Seriously, if any of y'all ever meet her, tell her that I lubbs her and that I'm pretty cool and somewhat cute and I can cook and I'll have her babies. Thanks.

Also: Good in bed.

Well, OK, but that last point wouldn't carry much weight coming from me.

It remains.

I really think I am going to see her in London, and I'll be sure and mention you after I've snogged her.
