Surprised to hear from me on New Years day. So am I, but I survived my vacation and now literally have only a minute to post. Here’s something memorable from 2009. And don’t just take my word for it as Madam Pamita’s new record caught the ear of the Grammy nominating committee for folk music. Stay tuned for a few more “Best Of” posts and then back to a more regular posting schedule come the first week of January.

Madame Pamita is a strange duck. I’m sure she’d have no problem with that statement. Here’s a modern woman living in California who has recorded her new record on wax cylinders (ironically the same songs have been digitized and are for sale at a name your own price on her website). Furthermore at her live shows she dons a mystical outfit and reads fortunes of her audience members all the while strumming her ukelele and singing her odd songs. Her songs and those she chooses to cover are about sex, drugs, and not really rock `n’ roll (but plenty of references to death and prison and liquor).
In a world where everyone is doing some semblance of the same old thing Madame Pamita is a breath of fresh air. Her new record Madame Pamita’s Wax Works can be picked up here (comes with a fortune, a good luck penny from the 1800’s and an origami made by Pamita).
