OK, I'm going to delurk for a moment to ask if anyone has any info on a 
singer named Lida Husik.  I have one CD by her called _Your Bag_ which I 
think is really brilliant.  It's spacey psychedelic rock (well, it was 
produced by Kramer and it's on Shimmydisc:) combining moments of gentle 
beauty with louder guitar parts (a la Lush, MBV, etc.).  Musically, it's 
nothing like KaTe, but the atmosphere and lyrics are kind of similar to 
her earlier works (childhood fairytale elements mixed with a wisdom 
beyond her years).

What I want to know is how many other albums she has other than this and 
what styles they are.  I've heard part of another album by her whose 
full title escapes me at the moment (it had Red Emma in the title), and 
it was OK, but it was more garage-rock oriented, and the lyrics weren't 
nearly as good.  I know she's had at least an EP since and a new 
full-length CD called I *think* _Joyride_.  Are these more 
spacey-psychedelic whimsy or more garage-rock oriented?  Personally, I 
prefer the former over the latter.

Thank you in advance for any info you might have.
