So, erm, listen up indie-rockers, start eating at least an apple a day, some nuts and a raw carrot or two.

I loved her voice, which I first heard in Kissing Jessica Stein, a movie I viewed for all the wrong reasons but nevertheless enjoyed. Didn't have that song either; my faves include I wish you love; Put on a happy face; Manhattan & Unpack your adjectives (from Grammar Rock - definitely need to find more from that series).
