Ridiculously Young.

J and me with our Sensei Kishi, long ago in a galaxy far away.

And the Best Singer-Songwriter I've Heard in Years.

I'm leaving Sipp frontpaged for a while, but meanwhile, check out Rene Marie.  I heard a great, sly, poetic jazz song on WBGO called "Black Lace Freudian Slip" (free download!) and looked her up.  That's the title of her forthcoming CD.

Music is my clothing,

Slowly I undress,

I don't mind disrobing

To reveal my nakedness

This song is completely different, simple and unironic but so powerful given the incredible heart of the delivery.

I'm amazed she's gotten so few hits.  Just wait.
