Veirs Redux

My crusade continues, to ensure that Ms Veirs earns lots of lovely money and can afford to keep writing and singing her amazing songs. And I expect Bill Frisell could do with the pocket money, too.

So. New stuff on LV:

• Bella Union, her record company, via whom I actually ordered ordered what sounds to be (ahem)an "early" album:
• The Triumphs & Travails of Orphan Mae
• Which is coming from

  The Digital Parking Lot
  14 Church StreetTwickenham TW1 3NJ
  United Kingdom

• And to ram the message home and show I'm not totally alone in my crotchet crush, quelques press quotes
• For thoroughness' sake, a rather dull, literally pixelated video that takes forever to load and does LV no justice or favors.
• Americana UK interview
• Grauniad interview
• UK concert dates
• My LinkFilter entry
• And, below, an actual verse from Rapture, which is to Carbon Glacier what Bedroom Eyes is to Troubled By the Fire. It looks flimsy on the blog, but is mystical and cheering the way Laura breathes it:

  
  do you blame Monet?
  his garden in Giverny
  he captured
  
  and lovely Basho
  his plunking ponds and toads
  enraptured
  
  the fate of Kurt Cobain
  junk coursing through his veins
  and young Virginia Woolf
  death came and hung her coat
