We used to call it speaking in tongues, now it's music. Introducing the fantastic Lindha Kallerdahl! A Swedish export, she's performed with Sonic Youth and won the "Jazz in Sweden" prize. Here's her site and here are a few samples on Myspace. I like "The Meaning of the..."
I don't love Leon Thomas.

The most pretentious crackhead freakazoid no-talent poseur that I personally know is still getting free drinks from people impressed that he performed with Sonic Youth. My cat could perform with Sonic Youth if she owned better sunglasses.

I stand by my first statement.

No, it's true, I know some guys who toured with Sonic Youth as well - they favor the weird and hip in their opening acts.

FYI there's a pretty long history of this sort of thing. Phil Minton is a well-known example, but there are many others working in improvised non-verbal singing (Liz Tonne, Ami Yoshida, Jaap Blonk...).

She needs lessons and that piano needs a tune. Or maybe not. Notice how she how she winces when she (almost) gets a chord progression right. The horror.
Autodidact has it: pretentious shittyness - with the emphasis on pretetious shittyness.

Yeah, she's pretty bad. Not my kind of thing, I'll admit, but even in that area she's annoying beyond the call of duty.
