Nellie McKay's record label's site put up a new picture of her! Observe:

And also they have the artwork for her album coming 27 December!:

I think the font is just delightful! It all just screams 1960's. And it looks like she's wearing the same red longsleeve that she wore on her first one, though no 'bright, cheerful demeanor clashing perfectly (intentionally?) with the parental advisory sticker on the corner'. I am giddy. (sigh) More showtune piano/instrumentation layered with satirical, cute/murderous wit.

I'm very obsessed with the wonders of the world wide web. It seems like more often than not I am setting down the school books and picking up the board to surf this infinite source of everything (I just tried to work in a Weezer 'You take your car to work, I'll take my board' reference, but it didn't work).

Something extraordinary might just happen tomorrow....
