Comments on: Marian Call in LA! http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2008/11/13/marian-call-in-la/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

Although she says that she still gets butterflies on stage, her nervousness gets translated into a charming effervescence and--yes--sexiness (in spite of her protestations in her "Vanilla"). I hope to catch her in at least one of her other appearances in the LA area. Marian did say that on her way either to or from Austin (for the next SXSW music conference in mid-March 2009) she plans to perform at Boulder, Colorado, if only to play for BA and the Little Astronomer.

Actually I found a lyrics feature by accident. If you look on the music player there is a tiny little button that pops up lyrics for the song being played. Enjoy! @Adrian Morgan:

Since she is an Indy artist, I've totally missed Marian. I listened to a couple of excerpts on her myspace site and immediately went to CDBaby and bought the album. What a good get! Thanks, Phil!
