Aimee Mann

I still can't get the song "Voices Carry" out of my head from 1983, but just to cleanse the brain I've been listening to Aimee's song "Freeway" from her record "@#%&*! Smilers". (I like saying "fucking smilers"!).

What is underrated anyway? Aimee's been nominated for an Oscar and a Grammy and writes some of the sweetest, most haunting songs around. But whenever I mention her to anyone, they say, "who?" I guess she'll never been Madonna-esque, or Ga-Ga, but then again, I don't care.

Here's the "Freeway" song.



And in case you forgot "Voices Carry" (who could, really), here's a live version. I still giggle at all the stupid haircuts we wore.
