One of the most underrated artists, of our time...

..ive been getting back into her lately-the song 'mama from the mountain'-specifically. i HAD to listen to that tonight (again) for some reason. I'm really in love w/her..have been ever since i first heard her about 5years ago. I have yet to see her live.

listening to cortney tidwell..missing old cortney tidwell..

CORTNEY TIDWELL - WATUSII from Daniel Franke on Vimeo.

OMG i'm (just now) listening and..apart from the thrill of new music by her..hmmmm..not really sure...very different direction she's taking..dunno how long they've been up, and well i'm kind of digging 'Watusii'-really cool video too. very Gondry-esque but not directed by him. hmmmmm..not sure yet...either way NEW CORTNEY TIDWELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i cant describe this sense of relief. big anticipation album this one..09 keeps heatin up.

side note: i think i first heard her about 2-3 yrs. ago, i think on aol radio or something. ive been smitten ever since (she's on my 'dream label' btw). i think she's amazing and see huge things. no matter how many times i ask, she still hasnt come to d.c., but always is kind enough to reply and say thanks or whatever. if she has come i didnt know about it, but that isnt likely. i give it a few more months then i'll go travel to see her.

My Record Label (a continuing entry)

In a perfect world, I would run a label. and who knows maybe one day i will, but for now this will have to do.

This is a list of 'new' and upcoming artists I'd snag immediately, had I the means. Basically my dream label, artists I'm really excited about....

1. Theresa Andersson (of course)
2. Cortney Tidwell
3. Alex Gruenburg (a friend)
4. Betsy Wright (another friend)
5. Merkaba Bandits (Alex's old band..R.I.P, but I would bring them back to life!)
6. An Eartha Kitt cover singer who can sing just like her
7. Tom Vek (where the F*** are you!... fat chance he's major, but I include b/c he's only put out one album, a masterpiece)
8. Princessed (another R.I.P friend's band that I'd bring back to life)
9. Hmmm Poe!? where'd you go
10. Elastica!? you too
11. A Jeff Buckley cover singer...wait that isn't possible.
12. An Ace of Base cover band
13. An Alizee cover singer

wow, this is getting ridiculous..turning into a resurrection label of sorts...didn't mean for it to... i'm getting very nostalgic now. I don't know why all this cover stuff is coming up..didn't plan just happened.

14. oh yeah, Anni Rossi
15. Mirah
16. Soko
17.The Dismemberment Plan (again R.I.P..some of the best shows ive ever been to)
