Imaginary phone call between Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman (pretend you're hearing it it in their voices): JN: Hey there, Morgan. What are you up to the next six weeks? MF: Don't have any set plans, Jack. All the voice-over work I'm doing these days is pretty flexible. To be perfectly honest with you, it's a little boring. JN: I hear ya.

Alison Sudol, better known on stage as A Fine Frenzy, is more than just a pretty face: she's also a musician with both a level of talent and a musical maturity well beyond her twenty-two years. You can classify her music as "alternative," we suppose – but it's definitely not your little sister's brand of alternative.
