Rating: - Kimya Dawson is more than a song or two of the Juno soundtrack
I liked her music off the Juno soundtrack that I bought the company... I mean her CD... Despite most of the songs sounding the same, the lyrics and progressions make this effort rather interesting....
Rating: - Wonderful, clever and simply far out
Heard her songs in the Juno film, watch it if you haven't, and he songs and style kind of stood out. I found myself watching the film and wanting more of her songs to come on. Bought this CD and one other. I was soo pleased. If I would of heard something like this 20 years ago I'd be on the road right now, but only if I could've brought my wonderful wife along. Buy this CD if you like clever heart felt songs. Keep it up Kimya.
Rating: - What A Wonderful Womyn!
I have been into Kimya since her going solo from the Moldy peaches and i have to admit that she has gotten me through some serious times. "I'm trying to feel brave cause when I'm brave other people feel brave....." Any fan of Juno should seriously consider collecting every Kimya album, to support her and independent music and Panda and the pursuit of truth as it rages everyday.....
Rating: - Best Kimya CD ever
This is the best Kimya Dawson CD ever. Her self esteem is up and she is singing about political issues too, she still has the myriad references to dead babies, which is why I love her so, you just can't get that anywhere else! Great CD, and even if she did record it in her closet or basement it sounds like way better quality than the Moldy Peaches CD (which on one of the tracks has the phone ringing in the background). MUST HERE THIS CD, some songs are available to preview on her website so check it out if you want to hear the awesomeness for yourself!!!!
Rating: - Dorky Yes, but Unquestionably Great
I've discovered Kimya Dawson only a few months back, having heard "Caving In" and "I Like Giants" on a local station. I confess to being baffled at first by her sing-song delivery and her overly earnest themes, but I'm always on the lookout for someone with a different approach to music and her songs certainly catch the ear. After a few more chance encounters, I picked up the album and was quickly won over by her enthusiam and unique sound. The songs on 'Remember That I Love You' may at first remind you of the dorky girl you went to church camp with who played campfire guitar; but it would be misleading to say the charm of this album is only its unassuming sound. After a number of listens I have found myself filled with considerable admiration for Kimya's arrangements, in their colorfullness and spareness. They are perfect little origami songs with everything in place in just the right proportion. Folksy and idiosyncratic, but quite fun and sometimes quite moving (the song "12/26" is an example). I can think of a number of rather more famous bands who could benefit from listening to this album and dissecting what Kimya has done here. Who knows where her ideas come from, but she's on to something. No question about it.
CLLCT - The Collective Family An online community of indipendent musicians who have made their music free to download. No, it's not myspace. (disclaimer: I have a profile there too, but nothing that I haven’t also posted on mefi.music. Apart from that I have nothing else to do with running or maintaining the site.)
Originally the 001collective, cllct is a community (or a collective if you will) of musicians dedicated to giving away their music for free on the internet. I randomly found the original 001 site while looking for online communities to post my own home recordings to. Not long after I signed up, the site changed to its current format under the new name cllct.
There is some phenomenal music to be found there, from the cuteness overload of Shelby Sifers, to the mature stylings of Generous Alzir, and even the off-kilter experiments of the Secret Owl Society (who is also the man behind the entire site).
