Haha, it didn't. How did you guess?
Sadly I don't think the delightful Ms Shaw Taylor shares my crow obsession. I'm sure she'd understand if somebody were to explain at great length why they are amazing birds.

Still, first track has been fuckin' awesome so far. If she can keep this up it might be even better than her debut...

I'm not sure I've ever heard of her
youtube me something I should listen to.

There's actually a surprising paucity of good quality clips...
Still, this one should explain the hype (instrumental SRV cover):

And this is the best one I could find of my favourite song by her:

(At least, favourite song to date...)

So yeah, you can probably understand the appeal, at any rate...

Well
perhaps not quite to the extent I suspect you do, but yes.

*sheepish*
I saw her in concert last year and she was totally amazing and leagues ahead of the other two bands that were on and after the set she walked right past me and then she walked past me again and I got very excited like a small child and my friend laughed at me...

Haha!
I admit, I can't laugh too hard as I made a total ass of myself when I found myself face to face with the lead singer of a band I like. At least you were only giddy and not spouting drivel right in their face.

My friend did suggest I should say something to her,
but I remained (vaguely) composed and asked what I could actually say to her without making a complete tit of myself. But seriously, she passed close enough that I could have grabbed and run off with her, laughing maniacally. (This is, of course, one reason why I asked said friend to come to the gig with me, to prevent such eventualities, however unlikely.)

Composure is good
remaining silent but wistful a few feet away is better. I could learn from your example.
Are you coming to Tayyabs btw?

Currently not. Though I've been thinking increasingly that I'll kick mysel if I don't.
Current reservations are
1. I haven't thought of a good excuse (read: white lie) to tell my friend
2. I can say with reasonable certainty that I'm going to be rather worse for wear by 6.30 that Saturday, so I'm not entirely sure that my system will welcome a massive influx of curry.

On the other hand, of course, it would be lovely to see you all again.
*chews knuckles with indecision*

At any rate, I should probably have gone to bed approximately one (very good) album ago, so remind me to resume this conversation tomorrow morning. 'night!

Meh, just tell him you've got a date
or a family thing that you can't get out of. And think of it as ballast!
