I really dislike Keren Ann. I'm sure she's a nice person and all. And kind of a hottie, if I'm honest.
And I should like her music, it's the type of music I would usually enjoy. Except I don't.
I got her self-titled 2007 album from the Library, because the Library is a perfect place to explore new music. It's a free trial offer for everything in stock! What do you have to lose?
So I started listening and was immediately bored out of my mind. That is the downside; people donate their CDs to the library for a reason.
Ok, so, Lay Your Head Down wasn't too bad of a song. It was a bit too Sophie B Hawkins lite for my taste, but it was passable. Unlike the rest of the album. Which was horrible. Boring, trite, boring, lethargic, did I mention boring? Ready to give up, I skipped to this track.
Ever have one of the those moments where you hear a song for the first time and you just stop in your tracks, silent and still, and wonder aloud to yourself, "What is THIS?"
It's happened to me a couple of times in my life. The last time that I can remember was hearing Nice Weather For Ducks by Lemon Jelly for the first time on BBC 1.
Since then I've listened to this track maybe a thousand times. I've put it on mix CD's I've made, I even made an uploaded this video because 1) I'm overly obsessed with the song and 2) I wanted to blog it but couldn't find it on YouTube.
Now, if any of the followers of this blog can point me to a Keren Ann song as good as this one, please share it with me. God knows
I just get too bored to keep on looking.

Many thanks for visiting my blog! I typed in your first sentence into Babel Fish and this is the translation I got:
"oh there… You have French in your blood? Good. Sensitive and normal!"
I'm going to assume that's not exactly correct, lol. But, it doesn't sound like a bad thing, so I'll say, "Thank You."
And, no, I don't have French in my blood. Sorry.
