But just found one artist or group with something common, which you might like. It have been standing just before her records, not played for a long time. Geraldine Fibbers, Lost somewhere between the earth and my home. Hope it is still possible to find, this a knockout, I just found out. Have to search very hard to find a better record the last ten years. Lots of crazy violins and insane lyrics, rather "violent" with wry humour. And I have never heard someone getting away with combining sentimental folk with Velvet white-light noise, in one song. It works, it works. "Everything I say is a stupid lie, I won't tell the truth even when I die, I'll pick myself to pieces 'til the end of time, then I'll glue them back together in a stupid rhyme." A group, but Carla Bozulich is the beginning and the end. Now I just got to find out about her solo records! The group had two other records, also very good, but the first is a classic. Most people would back off, it is bizarre and extreme, but Lisa fans are not easily scared.

Never heard anyone mention this band before. They are one of my all-time favorites. I bought Butch (their final record) about a month after they broke up. They are an odd mix of country/rock/punk. Think cowpunk (ala X) only more country and more punk at the same time. Amazing stuff. I have four records by them. Lost Somewhere Between The Earth and My Home (a great balanced record) What Part of Get Thee Gone Don't You Understand (more country) Butch (more rock) Live at the Bottom of the Hill (completely out of print) See the following link for more info about side projects, etc: http://www.killrockstars.com/bands/factsheets/geraldinefibbers/ Scarnella is the only thing I have heard since and it is very experimental (http://smellslikerecords.com/scarnella/index.php?artist=Scarnella). Carla and Nels Cline played at Duke University last year, but I missed it. They covered Willie Nelson' Stardust. I heard it was amazing. Here is more on Carla: http://www.carlabozulich.com/ Anyhoo, enough rambling.
