Don't know if anyone here is into Jane Siberry, but it's been going around LJ: she's releasing free mp3s of most of her oeuvre. Also she's changed her name to Issa, though no one seems to know if that's a reference to the excellent haiku-writing guy. Follow the links to check both artists out.

Note- well checking out the Issa site, I noticed the guy who runs it has also written a number of novels, one of which, Haiku Wars, is narrated by a boddhisatva currently incarnated as a pet ferret belonging to a college prof in New Orleans. Looks good - you can read the opening here.

My brother is a big fan, and we both went to see her at Hugh's Room some months back. She's got such an amazing voice. And at the show she admitted she did a song for a Care Bear's movie.

I admit I have a cd by Melanie Melody (owner of that pink convertible with the various glitzy things stuck to it one used to see around town), who was a voice in the care bears movie (heck, as a kid I watched the carebears movie).

Sorry, that should be Melleny Melody:

Gawd...I hope she's not seriously mentally ill, being untreated since she's being cute about all this stuff. I think there's something horribly wrong, I really do.

I don't know if she is crazy, but if she really wanted to become "pure" why doesn't she just take a real job - a job in a store or something, then she would be really grateful for the postition she is in. I think its quite insulting too her giving her possessions away. It is only middle class people from wealthy backgrounds who make grand gestures like that. What about people who lose their homes and possessions through no fault of their own? Why doesn't she just help out those people?
