Glad you decided to practice your writing JT, 'cuz I was thinking along the same lines as you.  Saw the band last week in E-town, and they were fabulous as always.  Was really impressed by Lyndell on stage...when she speaks it's often for a lil' bit longer than typical cas stage talk, like she's telling a story.  And loved hearing Ember play with the mic -looping song lyrics is a fabu sound effect and truly an art we should all acquire.  Their drummer Adam had it goin' on too...so, I'm inspired.  They recharge me politically and artistically.

Peace. Love the new album -very real, very fun- it's inspired my weekly signature -see below.
