My little sister shows up today… My first family visit since moving to L.A. two years ago. Rough, huh? Well here’s a track from her namesake, who I found off of good weather for airstrikes. My first impression was that it sounded a little too precious, too coffee house… but the lyrics made up for that. I love name-dropping of other bands, so the Magnetic Fields line sold me. There’s a depth to the song that the simple presentation betrays. I especially like the “dealing with this badly” description of her mood. That and the fact that Emmy from the Londons might be the first human to qualify for cuteoverload.com. Cute like whoa. Someone needs to introduce me.

Emmy the Great… I like that, I think you should call me that from now on.
Done.
