Fair enough. She's talented enough to be called British.

i dunno, my mate saw her play live and said it was shite

Oh well,that must be it then.

Are you in a bad mood? You keep saying things are shite.

i'm not in a bad mood, and i didn't say mira calix was shite, my mate did. but i don't take his word for it, yet seeing as how she's a laptop musician i can imagine how it would be the case, that she is rubbish live.

Laptop musicians should really just stay home and release recordings.

Some might say that guitarists still keep on strumming the thing but nothing that has already been done a million times before will ever come out of it again.I'm pretty sure that it is not far from the truth at all.

they might be true, and i'm not saying mira calix or laptop music in general is bad, just that it seldom makes for good live performance. something guitar music doesn't have as much of a problem with.

That seems more reasonable.

Has anyonne mentioned The Duke Spirit yet? Laila's a great female vocalist.

I saw them live at the 'old blue last' about a year ago and they were rubbish.She's one fit girl though.And she happens to be mates with Lady Sov wich is cool.

speaking of females and that name, there's also Leila, who put out a couple of excellent records.

I'm definitely a fan. 'Cuts Across the Land' was the best LP of last year. Did you think they were bad, or just not so good live?

Oh yeah,her.I had almost forgotten about her.I've never heard that second record.In fact i didnt even know that she made a second one at all.

All the decent British female vocalists seem to be involved with dance music, for whatever reason.

I have never heard a single studio track of theirs so i wouldnt know.They were kinda shabby live.Out of curiosity,does the record sound a bit like PJ Harvey by any chance?

she made a second one called courtesy of choice. it came out in 2000 i think, i picked it up recently is selectadisc/sister ray for a fiver or something.

Any good?I'm trying to remember,didn't she do vocals for Roni Size or something like that?

she played keyboards for bjork.

anyway it's good. i'll put it on now i think.
i think i remember hearing somewhere that she's got a new record on the way too.

A bit harder/heavier.
