Causality doesn’t make sense there
Have I really not blogged about Nataly Dawn?
Dave turned me on to Pamplamoose, a collaboration between Ms. Dawn and Jack Conte (I still think Beat the Horse is their best.)
She is categorized as — self-categorizes as? — “independent”, which is as useful to me, taxonomically, as a section of the yellow pages devoted to “Limited Liability Partnerships”. But do explore: it’s highly rewarding. If you want to transition with something potentially familiar, here she is with a radio song, which she describes as “a social experiment … to find out what would happen if I wore eye-liner and sang a White Stripes cover.”
That sort of extreme self-awareness is the source of this post’s title, the immediate raison d’etre of this post. It’s from the introduction to her new videosong, an arrangement of a sixteenth-century French-language sonnet in the mold of Carla Bruni. She provides a translation in the sidebar — a translation of sorts, in that the way a modern French speaker would translate “Baise m’encore” has changed a bit over 400 years (you’re going to have to either trust me or go ask your mom.)

Also, if you haven’t visited yet, have I mentioned that she’s hot and smart?
