Seriously gurl, that song is a stone cold classic. Miss you like pork in a rind, mkay?
Like a cross between Neal Young and Violent Femmes with a dash of otherworldliness! I also read through your blogs with great interest and felt myself in India again, thanks to your vivid descriptions. I would really like u to listen to my song "Donnez" (only the first and last two lines are in French), since it is very close to the subject of one of your blogs on our over-consumption. It also contains sitar and an indian time pattern. All the best, and when I have time I will blog with u, I too have made this my year in the virtual void and meaningless everything!
