I am a little surprised that she is that old, but then she was already 33 by the time of her first solo album ()the wonderful “Whatever”), as she had been in ‘Til Tuesday before.

Such a great artist and writer. “And when they light up our town I just think / What a waste of gunpowder and sky” is one of my favourite lyrics.

Here is here most recent recording – a snippet of Leonard Cohen’s Avalanche, used as the theme music for the documentary series “I’ll Be Gone In the Dark”. Apparently she recorded the whole song, so hopefully it will be released soon.

Any favourite Aimee Mann tracks ?
