I like to listen to podcasts while I sew and yesterday I ran across an interview with Merrill Garbus, who created the musical act, tUnE yArDs. My ears perked up since I was best buddies with a Merrill Garbus growing up who shared the same, milky voice and artistic sensibilities. And it's not a common name so I ran to the internet, did an image search and there she was. I hadn't seen her since 1992, but there was no doubt, my little friend had climbed the ranks and now was a famous indie queen. I listened to her stuff online and fell in love. So I just wanted to share some of it here for you guys. I kind of think she's a genius. What do you think?
For my other Connecticut buddies reading this, did you guys know about this? I think she's only really gotten "famous" the last few years but I can't help but think she's going to be big. Here's a little blurb about her from hipsterrunoff: http://www.hipsterrunoff.com/2011/04/broad-tune-yards-next-female-indie-sex-icon.html
Yeah, I'm totally jealous.

Wow, you GO, Merrill! To think I maybe drove you around a little, once upon a time!

How did you meet her? Class? Church?
I don't have time right now to listen to her stuff, but I did know she had some clout in the music world. I will listen to it tomorrow. Remember Chris Pureka? She's really big in the bluegrass-indie world as well. Her stuff is also amazing. I would love to get in touch with Merrill again, though. Awesome girl and good friend.
