Space Is The Place

"The most valuable and treasured aspects of her career were those of personal growth: acquiring street smarts, becoming humble and compassionate, appreciating people from all walks of life, and discovering her talents and inner strengths, such as her lovely voice, her creativity, her originality, courage, tenacity, and her ability to find humor in the most difficult of situations. And she owes it all to that little Stomach Steinway found in a junk store back in Beantown, Massachusetts."

The Space Lady, AKA Suzy Sounds has spent the last few decades traveling between Boston and San Francisco, performing on street corners on all points in-between. Using a couple of casios, delay pedals and a little mouse amp she's made some righteously ethereal and beautiful sounds. Vashti Bunyan floating through space, guiding us through the gentlest acid-washed rave. I suppose her magic would've gone unnoticed had she not taken her game to the level and introduced us to her "internet-busking" (!!!!) style! She is still a presence on street-level but sharing her music on the internet has allowed a whole world of new people to enjoy her jams.

"I'm really quite honored and thrilled that you find my music worthy of your website. My whole approach of playing on the street was to make my music available to as many people as possible for free. Now the Internet has the potential to dwarf the persistent and diligent efforts I made over 20 years ... and keeps my music alive without the wear and tear on my poor aging body!"

SO RIGHTEOUS

The Space Lady- I had too much to dream last night
The Space Lady- The Price Of Freedom

Also go to her myspace to hear this song synthesize me. BLOW MY MI-AI-AI-AI-ND.
