Anyone else dig her? I picked up her album Get Away From Me used last weekend and it's become a slight obsession. It's almost on a constant play. She such a great songwriter and her voice and sound are just so cool.

any other fans?

One of the best, wackiest parts of Threepenny. I hadn't heard her for a while after that show until....I heard the show again many months later.

Yeah, I started a thread when that album came out. They always come to see things Namo's way. Always.

"Clonie" is one of my favorite songs.

I have both of her albums and really like her. She's such a quirky individual, but she does have some really great songs. They aren't all my cup of tea, but there are a lot that I really dig. Actually, I was just listening to her on shuffle on the subway home tonight. She was definitely in very heavy rotation for a while this summer when I picked the albums up!

I've loved Nellie for years now. One of my best friends played me "Sari" on a road trip back in 05 and I've been hooked ever since. She's fierce.

I love Nellie! She is awesome. Sari, David, and Inner Peace are my fave songs!
