...Moving Image this week, there's sure to be an art student or two in the house. And they'll feel quite at home as these self-proclaimed kings of "Concept-Art-Heritage-Rock-Covers" move swiftly through their set.

Like her fellow Green Party yes-men (and yes-women), she lives in a frozen world, and she’s happily ignorant of what’s around...
...cover of “Gimme Shelter” might give you some goosebumps. Same with her cover of Dylan’s forgotten classic “Changing of the Guard.” But that’s just because they were good songs to begin with. Neither recording does anything but lay out an almost identical arrangement as the original, which is a testament to the quality of her session musicians...
