Progressive lesbian sea change

For approximately five years I have been listening to poppy mellow prog and folk rock. I sometimes call it Beatlesque...My senior year introduced this insidious taste as I unconsciously conformed into the lesbian counterculture...Cocteau Twins, Lori Carson (and Golden Palominos), Jewel, Sarah McLachlan. Cocteau Twins remain a favorite, particularly their Heaven or Las Vegas. It's like children songs from the future, in some fusion creole dialect. Fortunately, I easily ignore lyrics. The important thing for me to do is heap generous praise on another mind-blowing record from Beck. Sea Change is so much less frivolous than his other masterpieces that it may be my favorite album of 2002. Björk's Vespertine, Bebel Gilberto, and the new Beth Orton - Daybreaker, all above average prog, but none of it lives up to Beck. He's a po-mo god! There are songs here with gravity, a feeling I've notoriously missed when listening to Beck in an unaltered state of mind. On Sea Change, however, the production is so unbelievably liquid and multi-ethnic. Adrien 1:00 AM
