In my youth I'd have said the curtains, but I'm older and wiser so I'd have to say the roof.

Savoir Faire Pre-Game Part II:
Leah Hayes is a Scary Mansion
1. The thing about a real scary mansion is that it's terrifying, but ceaselessly intriguing.
2. If you ever actually visited the mansion, each room would be dimly lit. Strange but magnetic. There would be oddities and artifacts hanging on the walls and strewn about. Maybe they've been that way for decades. The stairways would be steep and the halls long and narrow, full of echo and must.
3. You might never actually work up the courage to visit the mansion but every time you drove by you'd slow down and imagine how scary it must be inside.
4. And though the mansion is up on the hill far away from your car, the mailbox is too close for comfort.
5. Maybe one night you drive by the mansion and see silhouettes of people dancing in the windows. Maybe they're just like everyone else. Or maybe they're just silhouettes?
Scary Mansion [mp3] - No Choice
6. Maybe you visit the mansion on a dare and you find the proprietor to be perfectly charming and well adjusted.
7. Maybe it looks like this.

Savoir Faire Pre-Game Part I: Bell
The first time I ever heard Olga Bell sing was at the sidewalk cafe a few months ago. I walked in half way into her rendition of Skee-Lo's "I wish" (yeah you know it...I wish I was little bit taller, I wish I was a baller I wish I had a girl who looked good I would call her I wish I had a rabbit in a hat..etc) I wasn't able to see who was on stage I could only hear the most unlikely voice wishing for a '64 Impala. Who would've thought that a Russian-born Alaska-grown conservatory trained Olga Bell was reviving the one skee-lo song everyone can relate to.
Bell is the quintessential 21st century rock star. She's got piano chops that can quite literally pay the bills, a back-story that includes both the fall of communism and the most bizarre state of america, formidable DIY production instincts, a powerful and versatile voice, and a great backing band to boot. Everyone of the songs on her myspace i would describe first and foremost as graceful. They peel off layer after layer revealing wonderful and diverse underpinnings. They never stop changing, and opening up into new sections and permutations. My only complaint is that there aren't more of them. We need more of them. Bell is one of those artists that once you hear you just can't get enough. And that is why, as long as she keeps doing what she's doing, Bell is going to be very successful.
Bell's myspace claims that she sounds like "Grace Kelly joins the Wu-Tang clan." Now I think her beats are a little more spit-shined and jittery than our Wu-friends, But I'll be damned if this girl doesn't look like her friend (Queen) Grace Kelly. Just look at these pictures of them I found online:
Grace and Olga at the Academy Awards:
Warhol's Little known Bell w/ Grace portrait:
Bell [mp3] - Echinacea
befriend/listen to Bell on Myspace
and come see her March 1st at Savoir Faire!

Introducing: Savoir Faire
presented by MusicIsFreeNow and The Music Slut
The idea behind Savoir Faire is to bring together some of the more elegant music makers in New York. Those who exhibit "ease and dexterity in social and practical affairs." The inaugural Savoir Faire has a line up of 4 bands all of which are fronted by stunning and brilliantly talented songstresses. In the coming days I will profile each one: The Indescribable Tyger Salazar, The Ineffable Olga Bell, The Inexorable Leah Hayes, and the Incomparable Sammy Tunis.
For now I encourage you to take a long listen to the sweet sounds emanating from their respective interweb locales:
