Desk-dancing to this one today, as I power through my end-of-the-semester to-do-list:

Last night we got the rare change to hear hip-hop violinist Emily Wells playing in an OC venue (at Muldoon’s in Fashion Island, following the NB Film Festival). Even as much as I ridicule living in Orange County, the opportunities that result from living so close to LA are unrivaled–from art galleries, to musicians, to the gorgeous beaches.
Though Emily’s cover of B.I.G’s “Juicy” is probably her most popular piece, my favorite of the evening was “Mercy”:
Note: if you want, skip to about 1.5 mins in where she starts singing. Haunting, IMO…
