Jeez, I just asked....

Stacks: Kate Miller-Heidke
Critics get lots of mail. The jewel cases and ripped mailers are an affront to nature. The eight hundred hours of music is an affront to our minds. What do we do with it all? We’re bound to screw up and miss the mind-blowing record. We become flummoxed, turn again to the Big Star box set and watch the pile grow. I got lucky last week and found a gem in the pile: “Curiouser,” the second album by Australian pop star Kate Miller-Heidke. (Did I know about the first one? Nope.) Go to her site—if your favorite American pop star is coming across slightly washed out, you will want to hear Miller-Heidke. “Curiouser” is a big clutch of Pantone swatches.
