Her first album's great though, and she's influenced quite a bit by classical. And she's an incredible singer, and I do not use that word lightly here.<BR/><BR/>Go on, give her first album a go - The Lovely. <BR/><BR/>Oooh, or the EP can be heard at www.myspace.com/maracarlyle<BR/>Apologies if you've been already and it's not your cup of tea...

I know some people snear about the channel but I've heard some really good stuff that I would never have normally listened to. Like you, kiddo, I gave up on pop music in the 70s and not having children never got back into it.

It's like when my mother was given a record called 'Singalongamax' back in the 60s (Max Bygraves, that is). She was so offended to think anyone would have chosen that, thinking she'd like it. It was never removed from its sleeve.<BR/><BR/>Folk. Indeed. Mind you, Tom Lehrer is, puzzlingly, categorised as Folk by iTunes.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-13341084652092498282008-07-29T13:07:00.000+01:002008-07-29T13:07:00.000+01:00I love other people's recommendations of music for...I love other people's recommendations of music for me. It makes me wonder sometimes what kind of person they think i am that i would listen to some of it. It's one of hte reasons i enjoy Myspace so much, i get daily requests from bands who think i might like them because a friend bot says so based on other bands in my friends list. recently i've been getting lots of folk requestsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
