Ok I reeallyy hope I don't mess any of this site up. But knowing me... Vu, you got that backup handy? So I'm gonna post something I just heard on Last.fm. I was gonna post something else but I tried to record it and it messed up and I'm lazy so..
Sia. I heard a track by this artist agges ago in early 2000 with a track called Taken For Granted, which sampled Prokofiev's "Romeo & Juliet". Apparently. Anyway, even though I liked the song I thought it was just some random dance act that'd disappear in a week.
Seven years later, turns out this Sia's an actual person and pretty big in Australia. She didn't just disappear and brought an album out in 2004 called Colour The Small One, minus the samples and club hits and plus a little bit of critical aclaim. I just heard 30 seconds of this track, Numb, from the album and it was enough to make me go find more. It's not the best song ever, goes on a bit too long, but at least it was easy to get hold of :o). Some of the other stuff on the album reminds me of Kimya Dawson's voice. I dunno what else to write. Erm.. Vu... help me...
