it's all a bit home grown

i love kate nash. she is officially my new musical obsession. though, if you have ridden in my car in the last month or so, you already know that. don't get me wrong, she's not for everyone. her songs are awkward and strange, she has trouble keeping a steady beat (watch this), and her lyrics make you wonder if she's just a little crazy. but she has something. i don't claim to know anything about music, but if julian is downloading girly folk/pop, there is something interesting happening there. i appreciate the craziness and i love her voice and lyrics. they are funny and sassy and bitter and wonderfully feminine, and you get the feeling that these are things that actually happened to her. and, most importantly, i can continue to perfect my chav londoner accent that i've been practicing all summer along with my lily allen cd.

i do have a point, i swear.

i can't get my hands on her cd! you see, she got really popular really quickly due mostly to myspace, and they rushed her album out after her single went crazy. so the day it was released i went to amazon.com to order my copy only to find out that it would have to be imported and would cost me a small fortune (for a cd, that is). wha?!? i had considered that it would be hard to find but i had not counted on it costing almost $50. weak. so i wait a few weeks in hopes that america would catch up, but no such luck. i don't know what i would do if i didn't have someone on the inside (england, not the record industry) to send me cds. thanks, jackie! she's sending kate nash as well as cherry ghost, lucky me! till then i still have my crappy, incomplete, poor quality downloads....

this is her most popular (though not my favorite) song:

enjoy!

I must co-sign this one. Kate Nash is pretty tight very weird though.

i dig the video. i can obtain the album *cough*illegally*cough* for you but i guess jackie is sending it so no need. i'm in the process of acquiring season 1 of arrested development so i can watch the 2nd disc and get the dvd back to you. let me know if you have trouble finding anything else.
