DON'T start with the new album, Our Time In Eden...it really bites.  The
Wishing Chair is kind of folksy/indie, In My Tribe is poppy but well-made,
Blind Man's Zoo is alternative and dark.  I started with BMZ and then IMT,
and I would recommend either one highly.  The rerelease album, Hope Chest,
is also cool but I wouldn't start with it.  Get the Blue one or the Purple
one.  Let me know what you think!

To all who read this: drop the orientation thing.  It's irrelevant and
mighty offensive, especially to us bi's.

I almost never like an artist for looks.  You can't see Kate while you're
listening to her music.  Make no mistake, she's exquisite, but I'd be
insulted if I were accused of listening to her on the basis of sex.  Her
music is transcendent and that's the sum of it.
