Late to the Sia Party
December 6, 2008
So I’m real late on this one. It wasn’t until Sia’s **Auslan-infused performance on David Letterman that I even did a search, only to find that the openly bi-sexual Australian singer has pages of songs on the Hype Machine. Her song on Dave bordered on adult-contemporary, and that stage was 70′s to the max. But her voice was crazy captivating, and some stream time revealed a nice catalog of songs to pick from. Her newest record, “Some People Have Real Problems” is on sale now at itunes and her website. Holy damn, the CSS remix of “Buttons” is on repeat, download it here:

An excellent find, even if late. Like many others I was introduced to Sia during the final episode of the HBO series Six Feet Under. To this day, her song Breathe Me brings tears to my eyes and chills to my spine–its truly haunting.
