A San Francisco resident, I devote my time to experiments in the kitchen, volunteering, cinema and live music, and teaching. I love art as I do activism.

i'm knocking on the doors of your hummer, hummer

I'm obsessed with this woman, her music, and this song in particular:


her sound is a hodgepodge of experimental pop, free jazz, and R&B flavored with ukelele and looped drums, and of course her distinctive voice. I described it to a coworker as "Nina Simone providing vocals for a Kevin Barnes production, with a worldview somewhere between M.I.A. and Peaches." I think that's a pretty bingo way of describing it.
