So excited - I'm seeing Bat for Lashes play tonight at the Knitting Factory. (I've written about them before. Do buy the album if you haven't already, it is gorrrrrgeous.) Also, check out this great interview with Natasha Khan. Here's an excerpt:
"I do love fairytales, but actually not so much the Grimms ones as the older more barbaric and ancient pagan ones! I love a book called "women who run with the wolves" as it contains Jungian philosophies and interpretations of all the old fairytales before they became too standardized and clean. I was brought up in a strict religion and so the act of storytelling is deeply embedded in me - I think thats why I was instantly attracted to deep southern/gothic American lyrics and music - and then fell in love with the biblical imagery of blues, Nick Cave, PJ Harvey, etc."
She is my total soul sister.
(Thanks, Johanna!)

Oh, any time (: Do tell me how it went!
