How is it not cool? Of course its all a matter of opinion, but her playing the piano didn't exactly make anyones ears bleed now did it?
If anything its admirable that such a great, atmospheric, and beautiful album was made out of that fact. Again, in my opinion.

Hi Pat
I'm leaving that one alone
Simple, Haunting, Beautiful and very cool imho

The 'White Chalk' album is incredible and wonderful.
Wiggins is so superbly unassuming, he looks like he's about to say 'Pop the gold medal in the post, I'm nipping out for some biscuits'

It's a matter of taste, it's not everybody's favorite album.

perhaps not perfectly cool but the result can be oh so hot.

keeping your cool (by sticking to an instrument you already know well enough) might just keep your music from getting hot.

Stumbled across this tonight:

According to Mick Harvey's web site, they're recording in April 2010. Now we know (maybe) that they're using a church.

it says that "a church has been converted",
presumably from Christianity to Polly-theism.
