Jarboe is amazing live. One of the most eerie, beautiful, haunting voices ever.

11:13am, would you consider Jarboe to be "witchhouse" music aka of the "haunted house" genre? If not, I wouldn't want to waste my time not jumping on the trend.

Was gonna try for Depreciation Guild (new album is great) but I just realized Babyrabies is playing at Arlene's Grocery at 10:30. So there I'll be.
