Well, I just can't resist adding this--"Brand New Key" is covered by 
Rasputina on their CD _Thanks for the Ether_. I'm glad at least 
someone liked it based on my recommendation; I'd have felt bad if 
people bought it on my recommendation and hated it (very possible, as 
my tastes are kind of odd). It's definitely for those who like the 
more "experimental" side of Kate (such as myself).
