Apologies via New Buffalo,

So you'd think I'd forgotten this. All I admitt to is neglecting it. And being Fickle. Because it's not like i havent been spening this time not collecting downloadable-from-the-net without using yousendit or any of those, type things. In fact i have a whole folder on my computer for this little project ii and I are sharing. But it's just super hard to choose who to show when and after who and things like that. But I'll tell you a story that made me decide to show you New Buffalo. Basically I keep a livejournal. Which is very lame and the most recent post I made, a friend of mine commented on the post saying "I've got you and You've got me". And then another friend of mine went into this grand spiel about how wonderful it was that someone was quoting Sally Seltmann (New Buffalo) and how it brought a tear to her eye (even thought that is a line that is common in a lot of songs and poems and books and things, but whatever) and oh all this stuff that makes me sound much nicer than I am so I dare not repeat it. And last night was the ARIA(australian record industry association) awards on tv so it's only appropriate that I do a bit of OMG MY COUNTRY HAS AMAZING MUSIC AND YOU SHOULD ALL GET INTO IT RIGHT NOW NOW NOW DO IT ALREADY JIMMENY CRICKETS etc. Even though New Buffalo wasn't nominated for anything, It's my (and ii's) blog and I'll do what I like thankyouverymuch.

New Buffalo is Sally Seltmann who is from Melbourne, and is married. She was with Lustre4 but then Ben Lee picked up one of her songs. She is influenced by Gershwin, Irving Berlin, Nina Simone, Sigur Ros and the Rolling Stones. Her most recent full-length realease is The Last Beautiful Day which she signed with Canadian label Arts and Crafts in 2005 (it was originally recorded with dot dash in '04). If anyone has stolen my copy of this CD (because I can't find it, bitches!) I will cry. And if it happens that I've lost it, well that would be very common of me. Her music is very personal and beautiful and she uses her casio in an amazing way (ie. not in the way you think she might, if you've been eyeing-off the latest common influx of indie post-punk/noise-art/i have no idea what they're actually calling it and dont care because only bits of it are ever any good so ner).
