old news, jonny boy...

so this is not completely content-free, something else to recommend:
anna palm. vickie told me about her and played a few tracks for me over
the phone, so i guess that qualifies as hearing it. it's got elements
of classical, jazz, everything. my memory of it is kinda hazy, but it
was quite good. majestic, powerful stuff. i haven't been able to find 
the disc yet - it's an import on the uk label i little indian. the
release is called _arriving and catching up_ - maybe some of the uk
folx can do a better job than this - or maybe vickie can talk about it
for me (like you were supposed to!)
