Angrogeny and old friends



The songs on Antony and the Johnson's album are aptly described as “torch songs”, moving and hymnal. There are a number of guest vocal spots on this album-- Devendra Banhart (gypsy incantations in the beginning of "Spiralling"), Boy George ("You Are My Sister"), Rufus Wainwright ("What Can I Do?"). He openly plays with notions of gender and began his career in New York as a performance artist. This album is his second and first since 2000....this stuff will grow on you.

I Am A Bird Part 2


Sarah Woolever is the kid sister of a friend I grew up with and is playing music described as "deep and rich, as well as personal and authentic...Though some of the songs are edgy, the sensitivities are distinctly feminine" around Minneapolis. Listen if you like Regina Spektor, I do.
