Our Dears:
+Sarah McLachlan: Melodic superheroine of feelings and, as I learned at Lilith Fair ’97orwhatevs, gives a kickass live performance.
+Metric: We have ample evidence that ladies love Metric (Berlin concert review, Australia concert review) I believe this is related to Emily Haines and also the nice music they make.
+ Mary J. Blige: All Time Greatest at 500 things
+ Ingrid Michaelson: Is so f*cking cute and has feelings as sweet as yours but strummy-to-music-like.
+ Jill Scott: Yay she’s back with a new album yay!
+ The Weepies: Intern Hot Laura loves bands with songs in Old Navy commercials.
+ Sheryl Crow: Is Forever
+ Corinne Bailey Rae: Adorbs British accent, you know that PUT YOUR RECORDS ON, TELL ME YOUR FAVORITE SONG, GO AHEAD LET YOUR HEAD DOWN.
+ Emmylou Harris: Is Forever-Ever.
+ Sugarland: Country music for people who usually prefer lezzie folk-rock music, except without the lesbians.
+ Butterfly Boucher: Child prodigy weirdo — like you, maybe? — Australian. You may have heard her on Grey’s Anatomy or in your little soul.
+ Sarah Bareilles: She sings that “I’m not gonna write you a love song” song that is gonna be stuck in your head all day but is super sweet anyhow.
+ Erykah Badu: Her “LIVE” CD from ’97 is the Best CD to have sex to of all time. Just a little tip.
Here’s some new names from the show that looked interesting and a little bit from their artist bios:
Chantal Kreviazuk: Chantal Kreviazuk has been awake for hours, making sure that her three boys have been fed and dressed.
Colbie Caillat: Armed simply with her dusky vocals and acoustic guitar, Colbie Caillat and her homespun music continue to resonate with listeners and win new fans.
Miranda Lambert: In her most successful single to date, “Gunpowder and Lead,” Lambert declared that some little girls are made less of sugar and spice than more combustible substances
A Fine Frenzy (Alison Sudol): “I think some people may be surprised. They think that I’m all fragile and ethereal—and that’s lovely, it’s flattering. It’s all I’ve really let anyone see, up to this point. But I have a wild side too. I like to bang on things and cause a ruckus every now and then. I’m a quiet person with a loud streak. I like both. This record is a testament to that.”
