I was trying to make it read "Ibanez" but I couldn't.

A bit abstract for my taste.

A lot of interesting things there. In particular I enjoyed the lyrics and the use of the guitar.

I think it's brilliant, but I wouldn't marry her ?

Like Bob says, brilliant use of the guitar, and I love all the other instruments, Harmonies etc.

MIKA-the-better-one

if you squint (or gouge an eye) its says both ibanez and norio....... I doubt my girlfriend would allow me to marry her, but I do enjoy the song, agreed it is quite abstract like, but I do prefer that to most things. Her guitaring is what really makes it come alive I think. you dont (I have never) seen a girl play like that.
Anyone know what guitar it actually is???

While we're on the topic, Tara McLeod (guitarist) for Kittie is *nom nom nom*:

And I think she plays nicer guitar *ducks*

It's you. ? It says Harmony.

Vocally she sounds a lot like Bjork with a bit of extra jazziness and some fuzz.

From the Austin City Limits TV series. They have some fab stuff - some of it (but not enough) on DVD. A great series, mostly rootsy things but they do branch out, and the production always emphasises the music.

Are you talking about the woman from Kittie?

No the other one - her vocals are very Bjork influenced, pitch, phrasing, everything.

I like that Mika - simplicity wins the day. I don't know the band but looks to me to be a bunch of graduates from a music college/university.

MIKA-the-better-one

you are probably very right, I just find it quite fresh and cool to listen to, not to heavy but still exciting, not to light but still got a bit of substance. and they can obviously appreciate a few types of music into their own blend. Sadly though bands like this never become to big or big enough to earn millions of $ from their music BUT i think its worth it to make music you love. and have enough to live

Amen! Nail on the head and all that ?

Interesting is her use of two mics. One for clean and the other with chorus/doubling effect.

MIKA-the-better-one

It is quite interesting, I have always liked vocal effects, not so much vocal correction but effects are cool. If you think about it mist bands have one singer, with one voice thus acts as another instrument, but if you get all four guys in the band to use their vocals as an instrument you can layer more coolness in. I dont think many people think of the voice as an instrument that could be used either melodically or rythmicallly

I like it

Phrasing perhaps, but Bjork has more nasal- mewl- screech in her voice. This lady is a bit more subdued. Very rhythmic, kinda pulls the song forward.
