We were hanging out at home today, doing absolutely nothing, when Christina played something that stopped me dead in my tracks (from playing on the internet). NPR posted a song on Tumblr from a band called Lavender Diamond. The singer, Becky Stark, has one of the classiest voices I've ever heard. This isn't your typical whimsy, whiny indie-rock girl voice. This is Barbara Streisand belting out "The Way We Were" circa 1974.

Believe me this girl's voice is amazing. How did I not hear about this until today? I can't live in the past, I suppose. I'm going to listen the hell out of this album.

The band is Lavender Diamond. The song below is "Everybody's Heart's Breaking Now". It appears on the album Incorruptible Heart.
