More Tune-Yards!

I'm just finishing Day 3 of quitting smoking, and I'm tired.  I've been sleeping an average of 10 1/2 hours per night the last 3 nights.

The first day was rough.  The second day was rough.  Today I don't think about smoking as much, but I am tired.

I've been smoking for five years or so.  I've smoked in the past for a year or two and then quit.  Two years on, three years off.  That is how it has been.  Five years of smoking is probably the longest period I've ever smoked.

I'm just tired of it.  Sure the addiction makes me want to buy a pack, but nothing else in me wants it.  Done with it.

Anyway, I haven't talked about Tune-Yards lately.  Their album WHOKILL remains incredible and defies categorization.  Here's my current favorite track, "Powa."  Hope you like it!

tUnE-yArDs, WHOKILL

I would've sworn hearing this song that this chick was, uh, not from Connecticut.  But she IS from Connecticut.  Hear for yourself.  Does she sound like she's from Connecticut?

The album is WHOKILL by tUnE-yArDs.  Yes, the spelling of the band is shit.  The music itself is great!

(This ain't exactly a video.  Just a picture of the lead singer.  The song is the same as on the album.)

Anyhoo, I've been in music-download mode this last month and a half, and of the 150 or so albums I've been stockpiling onto my external hard drive, this one is the best.

Listen to this song and ask yourself, Connecticut?
