Aimee’s coming!

Aimee Mann is coming to town and, more importantly, we have confirmed babysitting. Very exciting. I’ve been quite enamored of her since Magnolia and Bachelor No. 2, which I listened to around the same time a few years ago. Her latest, Lost in Space, is a little softer and more subtle, but there’s no one else doing what she does. She’s openly playing around in Burt Bacharach’s sandbox, but with a non-optimistic twist. And her voice is like no other. I’ve never been able to see her perform, so this should be great. Her lyrics and music are entwined and create a crystalline imagery, and if I just look at the lyrics, it’s hard to see exactly why. It’s the full product that works so well. Can’t wait!
