Aint No Right

It's really strange, yet enjoyable, to watch 50% of Casey Niccoli singing like she's D. Boone.

Did you mean D.Boon? If so it makes you cooler in my book

A lot of the crowd was really into it.

That Orange amp is cool. I like those amps.

She played her first song down the phone to me when she was 14. This week she turned 18. Last night I saw her play in LA with her band and to see the progression and development of a child into a young adult is so amazing. So, Mr Dismissive, maybe you should direct your horrible negative comments elsewhere. Do you have children? Somehow I doubt it, or you wouldn't be so quick to dismiss a young woman as her art grows and changes.

I assume this comment was directed at me, since I was the only one saying that I don't see the appeal in her music.

Your saying "Poppy Jean is a very young talent" would've been appropriate if I had said "she's old." I don't think my comments were "horrible" either, I'm just saying I don't see a special talent in her, and I think the music she creates isn't good. At no point I said "she should quit" or "she'll always be rubbish". I'm just pointing out that there's nothing exceptional in what she's currently making and I don't think she deserves some of the comments that seem to exaggerate her talents.

For instance, last year I found this very young Scottish singer and I believe she's very talented, and at whatever age she is (around 18, I think) she's already showing it. She barely has any followers and it's one of those cases that she might quit music at some point, which would be a shame. Regardless of the different styles they have, I would say one of these two artists is display far more talent and creativity than the other.

So it's not about age and it's not about dissing other people's efforts. I had a band when I was 17 and it fucking sucked. A few days ago I found the mp3s from the only demo we ever recorded and it's absolute shit, and yet every one of our friends told us how great we were. One of the members of that band still thinks we were great and could've been awesome, to this day. Deluded. Criticism is tough to take, but they are realities that as an artist you have to take. First and foremost, that not everyone will like what you do and not everyone will think you're a special little snowflake.

That is who I meant... I might have typed "Boone" but I'm going to blame autocorrect anyway.

Jesus fucking christ larry, if you're gonna go on and on about how great your band is, and how awesome your scottish cousin is, maybe have the good sense to you correct your fucken youtoob linky posty thing....

Cool video. Music's a little boring. There are a lot of female singers doing a version of that PJ Harvey-on-Thorazine voice these days. Most notably:



I really like Poppy Jean's stuff, but I'd like it more if it had its own voice.

hard to find one's own voice nowadays so cut her a little slack

cool vid .. cool style .. music doesn't blow me away but I have heard worse from some I would expect much better from ... not too bad!

I cut slack! I like it! I also forgot that I said almost the same thing on the previous page.

I like it, but can't help but to wonder how much influence Casey has on the optics....remind me a lot of Jane's....obviously the BCS vid.,,,rootin for them

I actually really like that new song/video. And the aesthetics are very, very Casey. They have that old school Jane's video vibe.

I hope her daughter finds a ton of success.

I wonder if she had a hit song would Perry let her play on Lollapalooza

Ha like she'd want to

Her song Superkiss is quality
