The Dailies

Word of the Day

Blatteroon (n., BLAT-turr-OON)

Long ago, there was this awesome website. People used to pull it up in the yellow pages 'cuz it was awesome. They'd send out text to it, telling it how awesome it was because it had these words on it and the words would have definitions. And the people thought that some of these words were like them. 'Cuz their texts weren't short; they were long and rambling. They were like a Dear Santa letter but even longer. And that's why they thought the definitions were like them. Because they knew they were awesome. And long-winded. And senseless.

Good female vocalists

Last week, The Dailies attended an Over The Rhine concert. It was predictably excellent. Karin Bergquist and Linford Detweiler (and their guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Brad) were superb with their "reality Christmas" songs.

Bergquist is a terrific singer, and seeing her got us thinking about posting a bunch of our favorite female vocalists. Today, we've got a smattering of tracks for you:

And since Over The Rhine was the impetus for this post, here's one more from them—a seasonal track:
