-Well i was looking on the Internet for new artists i visited a great page called-Ectophile's Guide- and then BOOOOM! There she was! Miss Young! I ran over her myspace page to hear some tracks and i was BLOWN-AWAY by her voice and songwriting! I mean how can you not LOVE Mixed Kids?? or Commit Adultery..?! Then came the concert in Athens and that was it! Im Now one of her No1 fans!
-Pls tell us about your 1st encounter with the music of KY.
From Morrissey. I always check out the opening bands for any show I go to so of course I listened to KY months before the show. After that, I was listening to pretty much just KY because I was so pumped to see her live! I was more excited to see her than Morrissey after watching the few live videos of their show on http://kristeenyoung.com. Soooo phenomenal.
From Morrissey I suppose. She was the opener and I loved her. I think the fact that she was one of the most indie artists (well, in the sense that I actually wanted a physical copy of their album) that I listened to in a long time helped. Also that I can actually talk directly to her! Plus her and Jeff are amazing musicians, and incredibly attractive and just amazing.
There was a music show on our local collegue radio (Radio Universidad de Guadalajara) that played "Marley's Ghost" once, back in 1997, I recorded the track and then got a copy of MMYAHABB on Amazon.
Wow, all the way down there back then?! AWESOME.
..back then? somehow 1997 it doesnt seem too far away for me! C'mon guys it's only 10 yrs! :) But for some ppl 10 yrs are like a lifetime......
I saw her open for Morrissey and I was blown away. I immediately started buying all her music.
I read an interview with David Bowie where he was praising her, so I investigated. She blew me away instantaneously.
The Friday 29/09/06 entry on the http://memepool.com/Date/260/ memepool - so, indirectly, Morrissey. I couldn't actually find Kill the Father, but I found 'Rotting on the Vine' and a couple of others, and didn't look back.
Don't worry, I found it eventually :).
