I'm bored and sleepy at work today. Writing answers gives me something to do to keep my eyelids propped up. Yay!
Who/what is "michelle shocked"? You have it/her/them in your interest list.
Hmmm. Wikipedia says very little of any importance about her. She's a musician/activist that I've adored since college; I was introduced to her by my friend Chad, and then saw her live in Columbus a few years later.
Her website
I'm rather ashamed to say I haven't actually heard her most recent stuff -- I really should fix that. However, her first three albums rocked my world. Her politics do infuse her music, and she's got some rockin' politics. I think her explorations around musical appropriation and race are especially gutsy; enough to make me nervous some times, and to make me stretch and think. And her love for various styles of american music is utterly contagious. I think my love for fiddles developed largely through exposure to her work.
I'd post lyrics or links, but I'm having trouble finding most of the ones I'd like to.
