What is there left to write about Emily Wells ? No really. Check out previous, superlative-filled, geeky rants. She knows a catchy lick. She's got a rapper's style with interesting, introspective lyrics. And then live she reminds you -- oh yea, she can play the violin like no one's business. You see, now it's just getting embarrassing. Last night's show at Hotel Cafe served as a release party for Wells' new EP Dirty . In addition to ripping though several of the "Symphonies" from her previous full-length ("Symphony 1 In the Barrel [...]

Posts about Theresa Andersson will continue until morale improves. Don't make me come to your house for a listening party to prove first-hand how lovely her music is. Actually...wait. That sounds like a great idea. I'll bring the pie.
