Tunstall does this on every song she plays....saw her on CANADA AM before
Xmas....the effect is quaint but a little distracting and annoying when
you've got to wait 30 seconds between every song for her to recreate a loop
that she could easily just have programmed and have ready to go.
Yes, so she creates on the fly -- I guess this is supposed to silence all
the detractors in this age of lip-syncing and what not, but ultimately, the
loop doesn't make the song that much different on subsequent performances.
