I never find out about music on my own; I rely on my more musically savvy friends to keep me posted. They usually don’t disappoint. I just got an email from a friend announcing that two bands are coming to town: Death Cab for Cutie and Ani Difranco. My first choice would be to go see Death Cab for Cutie, but sadly (or not so sadly), I will still be in China when they come through on Nov 2. That leaves Ani Difranco …
Was I ever a fan of Ani Difranco? I don’t think I ever truly followed her, as much as I touted the angry white female sound of Alanis Morissette. I also didn’t know Ani Difranco was still out on the circuit. It must have been early high school years when she was hot on the scene. Ani, Alanis, Sarah MacLachlin … they were all around the same time of mid-90s, where they not? Though Sarah’s not angry, I sorta lump all three of them into the same era with similar fan bases.
Anyways, I can’t decide … Ani Difranco … to see or not to see?
