Originally from Rockford, IL, youthful singer/songwriter Lissie Maurus has released an impressive ep, Why You Runnin', on Fat Possum. Throw in a dose of Bobbie Gentry and Jeannie C. Riley, with a contemporary edge, and you get an idea what Lissie is capable of. Only time will tell how the transplanted Southern Californian survives the road, the business and all the rest. Good luck. Really.

She also has recently published a new kick-ass and hilarious book, Live Nude Elf: The Sexperiments of Reverend Jen, on Soft Skull Press. Rev. Jen is always welcome to Boy Wonder's World.

Syd Barrett, after leaving Pink Floyd, produced his acid-injested 1970 solo debut, The Madcap Laughs. Considered by many as a work of a cracked genius. The Besnard Lakes, with the upcoming (and impressive) new record, The Besnard Lakes Are The Roaring Night, contribute an excellent version of Barrett's "Love You," on Mojo magazine's recent comp., in tribute to Syd's Madcap. Welcome, man, one and all to the groovy Hot Circle lounge (including the lady in the back).
