The video to New Romantic.

And here’s “Rambling Man,” which has connection to the Dave Loggins song.

Being me I am naturally filled with rage. There will be hearings. There will be threats of violence–slaps and beheadings and swarms of radioactive bees. At some point I’ll threaten Wales, and then I’ll get distracted and forget to murder anyone. But first–ooh, a penny!

Well hey geezo, I’ve been trying to tell you folks about this phenomenal artist for 10 years! The sooner you get into her the more time you’ll have to digest and learn and fall totally besottedly in love with her 11 amazing albums. Time’s a’wastin’!

(I already knew about Laura Marling and Ellen McIlwaine)
