From the May 24 edition of BAM:

"...the LA Times and NY Times were fighting over which city's next big thing
(they got Suzanne Vega, we got LJ's Maria McKee) is the *true* country-folk-
and-Patti-Smith-worshippin' savior of down-home music."

Funny how one stream of thought can lead us from Kate Bush to Maria McKee
(well maybe not, in a crass cosmetic sense :-)).  Any other LJ fans out
there (that is besides Ed Wang and Dave Comay...)?  I'm still trying to
make up my mind - "Ways To Be Wicked"'s just a bit too Tom Petty-sounding
in my opinion.
