The Brilliance of Corey Flood ...

    It's been a long time since we did a New Music Pick on the blog.   The sad part is there hasn't been much new music around that's floated our boat. That, and we've been listening to POTUS so much, everything's kinda gone right past us....


    In that absence, we watched 'Say Anything' on cable last week for the first time in a while.  While all the girls were dreaming of John Cusack (or even any guy) standing at their driveway, blasting Peter Gabriel's 'In Your Eyes' on his boombox, we admired a much larger musical genius - Lili Taylor's character, Corey Flood.  For anyone who's seen the movie, you know that Corey is in love with Joe, who had been sleeping with her while dating another girl - and that Corey has written 65 songs, all about Joe!  Truly, she is a dedicated artist...


    We swore someone would have a YouTube compilation clip of Corey doing some of the 65 songs, but all we found was this crappy 1:09 segment, taped off of a TV set.  It's poor, but at least it gives you an idea of her angst.  After all, this WAS filmed in Seattle..
