For my birthday, my friend Kevin bought me Lisa Hannigan's new CD, Sea Sew. Before listening to the music, I was impressed by the packaging. Lisa hand crafted everything used to create it. Her mom had knit the background, and Lisa sewed the dice and text throughout the booklet. I was really awed by her attention to detail and love for the craft.
I first listened to the music, finally, on Monday and I must say, she's one talented lady! I've been listening to it constantly! I can get through about 85% of the album during my commute, one way. It's a rather pleasant way to spend my time driving. I guess my car likes it too—I tried to take the CD out of my car to put the songs onto my i-pod, but the car didn't want to let it go... something's probably wrong with my stereo, but I found it funny, so I just left it in there. I'm sure it'll come out eventually.
If you want to hear more of her songs, visit her website and click on Launch Player. It really is beautiful. There isn't one song I don't enjoy.
