Joseph, Thanks for the tips -- I was a RLJ fan for her first five albums or so, then lost track, then was aghast when i bought Ghostyhead and couldn't bear to listen to it. I have heard of PopPop, and from your description -- and one from Bob, I suspect from my mail bin -- I'm tempted to check it out. Ditto for the Holly Cole and Patricia Barber songs.
Thanks, as always, Joseph, Walt
