Bowerbirds = Great! And very nice based on the 30 seconds it took me to buy their CD from them.

Joanna = EPIC. STUNNING. FLAWLESS. HEAVEN-SENT. GENIUS.

More coherent thoughts when I've had a few hours sleep, mmkay?

For now:

There is a blacksmith,
and there is a shepherd,
and there is a butcher boy,
and there is a barber, who's cutting
and cutting away at my only joy.
I saw a rabbit,
as slick as a knife,
and as pale as a candlestick,
and I had thought it'd be harder to do,
but I caught her, and skinned her quick:
held her there,
kicking and mewling,
upending, unspooling, unsung and blue;
told her "wherever you go,
little runaway bunny,
I will find you."
And then she ran,
as they're liable to do.

Be at peace, baby,
and be gone.

Edit: here's my more cohesive review. It's also a review of the album itself, for good measure. And because I'm obsessed, you know.
