Audioscrobbler is indeed a rather cool thing indeed. Wandering around member profiles early last week I was looking for other people into Nerina Pallot. I stumbled across one person who had her in their top-something list of played tracks. At number one was Emm Gryner.

Then I had a look at Emm’s entry on All Music Guide, which is usually the first place I visit when I find a new artist. Four stars all round.

So I then visited the iTunes Music Store and they have some of her albums. What’s missing is her major label debut Public – the rest are all released on her own label, including her debut The Original Leap Year from which Wisdom Bus comes.

The Original Leap Year ranges from piano / vocal tracks, to those with electric guitars, including the shoegazing electric, acoustic and pad drones of Headline Girl (my personal favourite), and the nod-to-Madonna of Wisdom Bus which includes a note sequence nabbed from Dear Jessie and some similarly homaged strings.

Now, the thing is she’s released loads of albums on her own label. Problem is how to get them. Ah, but I’m going to Canada shortly, aren’t I?
