to think of cinnamon

[starfallz]

Thanks to a wonderful gift from my mother, my father and I attended the Suzanne Vega performance at the Kentucky this past Tuesday.

She's touring for her new album, Beauty & Crime, and it was really wonderful to see her again. I've seen her twice before, the first time probably about 9 years ago on the same stage. A delight to listen to and always interesting to hear some of the stories behind her songs.

And being the dorkfan I am, I noted down the songs:

Tom's Diner
Marlene on the Wall
New York is a Woman*
Ludlow Street *
Caramel
Frank & Ava*
Gypsy
I'll Never Be Your Maggie May
Left of Center
Blood Makes Noise
Angel's Doorway*
Pornographer's Dream*
Bound*
Liverpool
Luka
Tom's Diner (remix style)

Encore:
Zephyr & I*
Queen and the Soldier
Rosemary

*new album

I haven't listened to her in years. Does she still have that subtle flavor of a French Café?

LOL, oddly enough, Caramel was my favorite of hers. That's the sound that could get me to buy another album.

Hm, the new album has some of the sensuality of Caramel, but not as much. Her two most recent don't seem to be as strong in sound or building images as Nine Objects of Desire or 99.9 F.
