miss k. d. lang. i've 'been a fan' for a long time. i wasn't crazy about a lot of her country stuff, but towards the mid '90s, she really bloomed. 'ingenue' is one of the finest albums of that time period. (although if i never hear 'constant craving' again, that'll be okay with me.) she's got one of those voices that like, freaks you out with how good it is, you know? i mean, there are certain performances of hers that i get chills every time i hear. she hits notes i never knew existed. and, like joni mitchell (another canadian) k. d.'s voice is one that's thoroughly unmistakeable. like, if i was dating a guy, and we were in his car, and a k. d. lang song came on, and he tried to insist it was someone besides k. d. lang, i'd think he was such an idiot i'd probably lose some, if not all, of my hots for him. her mid-90's performance of 'johnny get angry' on SNL is amazing. her live version of 'crying' from some televised roy orbison tribute is a killer. i also loved the tongue-in-cheek way she titled one album, 'all you can eat.' ahuh, we get it, k. d., i think we all know what you're talking about. i probably should post a song of hers, but what the hell, i'm not going to.
