Nellie McKay doesn’t sing pop, Graeme. SHe is so brilliant that her music goes into a genre of its own.

“Continuity is a tool…”

Indeed, as are those who are slaves to it.

I haven’t listened to Nellie for awhile, but the last time she was here, she did the singalong thing with the audience, so the phrase stuck in my head.

Gosh, I didn’t get it and I listen to Nellie McKay (although not religiously or anything).

As for Joe Quesada, he’s quite the silver-tongued devil. Not only does he call JR Jr. a tool, he calls him a tool five times over!

I explain thusly:
http://www.jazztimes.com//reviews/concert_reviews/detail.cfm?article=10152

“[Nellie] McKay started her solo-piano set with ‘Work Song,’ which includes the ever-so-catchy refrain ‘Joo Ming Boo Haa Ooo’ (translation, per McKay: ‘Help — there is no exit’).”

Finally, I make a pop song reference that someone doesn’t get straight away!
