thao nguyen

one of the many things i love about thao nguyen is the way that she sings the word "goddamn"

her voice is low and smooth. visually you could almost see it skating right along the top of the guitars wavelength.

i also love thats she's from virgina. i don't often meet people in the bay area that have spent a significant amount of time in virginia so i get a little excited when i do. i so desperately want her to write a song titled or about virginia [maybe even just a slight mention?] so that i could include it on a playlist i've been slowly but shurely working on.

not the best live performance but it was filmed in virginia - just try and not feel a shudder when she sings gaddaaaamn:

she also has a show coming up this week as part of Noise Pop 2009 - it's not sold out yet so get on it.
