chaniMy mother turned 81 today. She ate her cake at my sister's. Tomorrow she'll celebrate with me since I'm dropping the cats at her place. In the evening I'll be back to Paris, will clean the apartment and fill the suitcase with stuff I probably don't need but will bring to Rome, nonetheless.
I'm rather excited, even though I'm also worried about leaving my old loved ones behind.
In the last days I have prepared my leaving, washed, ironed, sorted clothes...and I'm almost packed. In my head.
I'm enjoying this evening for tomorrow I'll have too many things to do.
Yesterday I told kick_galvanic that I am not a big fan of female singers and female voices in general. Maybe it's because I'm an opera fan and I'm used to hear incredible singing from sopranos and mezzos in opera houses, so the pop/folk/rock singers sound flat by comparison. I don't know. But I think it's simply that I prefer male voices, even high pitched ones (but ther's more about Tom's voice than his range and the high notes he can reach).
There are exceptions, of course. I like Emily Barker (but to be fair, it's more about her music than about her voice per se), I like Aimee Mann, Marianne Faithfull, and I really like Mary Coughlan. I remember buying one of her albums in Galway!
I used to listen her "The Whiskey Didn't Kill The Pain" A LOT back then.
I also like her version of "Magdalene Laundry":
This song, "Whore of Babylon", that is more recent, I didn't know:
