"I wanna partake in bake sales for the classroom." -- Nellie McKay

Music Rolling Stone reviews my favourite album of last year (that wasn't classical). Makes the same comparison I have about the similarity to Nellie McKay although ignores the Regina Spektor influences: "(Kate) Nash seems a little callow, but Bricks is the sound of an eager kid making unconventional pop that works despite — and, sometimes, because of — her overstuffed brain."
