Nikka Costa

so why isnt music/film making a part of required curriculum in schools..??? i'm not even trying to sound naive or silly, i truly believe it should be and i doubt i'm alone. i'm drinking some wine and got to deep thinking..also, i'm listening to nikka costa 'like a feather'..i always forget how much i love that song, i keep coming back to it, i may do it tomorrow nite at karaoke!

Any indie karaoke bars?? and other ramblings

ok, so i am currently searching 'indie karaoke bars'..is there any like this?? i've been wondering a long time..and 2nd, i'm wondering how i can achieve a smoker's singing voice, without smoking..ha! and 3rd, i stand corrected: i made a post awhile back about the Raveonettes and how they're growing on me, and stuff and i mean i like them and all, but turns out, the song i heard i was referring to, that i mistook for the Raveonettes, is actually a Peter Bjorn & John song..oops! ('Let's Call It Off'), which btw i am really digging and have been for awhile. just discovered who it actually was. i also just discovered their song 'the chills' yesterday..basically, well this is the 2nd time now, i heard a song, ran back to look at the satellite thingy and there it was, PB&J. yet interestingly enough, i dont like anything i've heard by them on aol radio, not yet anyway. and 4th, and lastly..what's up with all these 'ettes' bands including: The Ettes, The Raveonettes, Spinnerette etc.
