knuckle down.

currently, i am listening to ani difranco's newest album knuckle down. my reason for loving ani is twofold--1) she is a lyrical poet 2) her voice screeches, yearns, and climbs the walls as if sexually satisfied. check out the soundbyte for "manhole"--a song she wrote about an adulterous man. according to difranco, "this man doesn't lie but he doctors everything." a chatty smile comes across my face when i listen to her.

i enjoy being a girl.
