[Music Update]
A little unknown gem of Austrailia, Sia song's have been used in movies and ads but no one knows her! Why is this? Her lyrics are not only an interweaving of raw talent, feminism, beauty, and humor but so inspiring that I have to listen to a song of her's every day.

Soon We'll Be Found
on the album "Some People Have Real Problems"
Her music videos are probably the most creative ones I've ever seen from a modern musician. She is soo ecentric, cute, vunerable, and unique, you have to love this woman. "Soon We'll Be Found" artiscially uses her hands by painting them a bold white to ephasis her use of sign language! To me, it's as if she chose to use it as it to advocate awareness of the deaf or mute and show how beautiful sign language is! This inspired me a lot.
Taken for Granted Music Video
This song, in particular, is one of my favorites. It uses's Romeo and Juliet's "Dance of the Knights" to a song about a crappy lover of hers, how she is always "waiting for him", a kind of turn on how the stereotype of girls are the ones being waited on. I can't tell you how I've waited HOURS for a guy for the stupidest thing like finishing a cigeratte. I always sing along to the part "I ain't waiting for you again" :)
Advocate wise, her songs encourage women to be strong and not put up with douche bags. Her lyrics are like a shoulder a heart broken girl can cry on. And a lot of her songs are hilarious, and fun! I really recommend her to anyone, guys, women, kids, and especially teens. She's a hot, shes funny, and a true musician.
To my heart's joy, I found she is doing back up vocals for my lovelies of Flight of the Conchords in their upcoming season's soundtrack!
"My dad's a woman's activist," Jermaine says.
"Oh, is you're mum one as well?" Brett
"OhhH nOOO. Dad wouldn't allow THAT." Jermaine
-Flight of the Conchords.
LOL!
