While in Paris, I found myself in a CD shop, and the first spot on which I placed my hand I saw "Paula Frazer: Indoor Universe". This is a studio recording from 4 years back that contains fully fleshed out versions of some of the songs on the 4-track collection that you thankfully introduced me to, and some previously unheard ones. It's pretty good, and little if any of her charm is lost from the intimate 4-track recordings to these ones. I'd be glad to set you up, if you haven't come across this yet. Note to all else: fans of Neko Case need apply, I guess.

Also, Paula seems to have a new one out on Birdman called "Leave the Sad Things Behind". Anyone heard this???

So you like Tarnation?

someone just gave me a copy of a tarnation cd. he thought i would like it. i haven't listened to it yet.

I haven't heard "Tarnation" yet. I'd love to.
