The Austin Film Festival begins
tonight! For the most part I'm just excited at the idea of overloading
on flicks for the next week, but I also really like that I'll be in the
company of a zillion other moving-going nerds. Anyone else plan on
attending? It would be great to meet up and swap info on either what
you've seen or plan to see. Email me if you are. OK, pleasing
your ears today is the lovely Juliette Commagere, who some of you may
recognize as the sister of singer/songwriter Robert Francis and as the
singer of Hello Stranger. As of late, she's been making a name for
herself (contributions on Maynard's solo record and the new Avenged
Sevenfold), so she went on a put together her own thing called Queens Die
Proudly. It'll be released in the near future. Enjoy.

Commagere - Queens Die Proudly:
There is no doubt in my mind that this lady could easily
make one of those breezy, iTunes commercial-ready sort of
songbird records, but as shown by this lush track, she seems
to be more intent on showing just how awesome Swedish style
pop is when it's given a bit of attitude. Here's
hoping that the rest of her solo full length is as grand in
all of the ways that this gem is.
I couldn't find
anything with just Juliette, so instead I went with a pretty
cheesy video of one of my favorite Hello Stranger tracks.
It's called Take It To The Maxx.
