i read that independence was a lightness in your step

marina & the diamonds / mowgli's road @ bbc1

she's on a mission, isn't she?
now i just woke up from my nap so i'll keep it simple :

- i really like her
- new album, 'the family jewels' is out mid-february. available to pre-order pretty much everywhere.
- uk tour to be sold out quickly - just to let you know.

and the question remains..

[can you be within popular culture without becoming it?]
