So I'm flippin channels and land on Austin City Limits, and hear a favorite song of mine, being sung by one of my favorite arists of late, Corinne Bailey Rae. I'm diggin her and her smokin band, then the song ends and she starts talking... in a British accent. "Oh, she's from the UK," I think to myself.

Then KT Tunstall, another fav, starts up, playing with her great band. She introduces the next song... in a British accent. I'm like, "man, that's weird, I didn't even know."

But it gets me to thinking about what I've been listening to. I realize that just about EVERY artist/band's CD I've bought or want to buy in the last year has been by a British artist.

Keane, KT Tunstall, Lily Allen, Corinne Bailey Rae, Amy Winehouse, Joss Stone, Coldplay, Jamie Cullum, just off the top of my head. And it pops into my head that my good friend and favorite producer to work with is a British dude, too.

I don't know if it's just the state of music in the US, that I've been in Nashville too long, or maybe that the name Radcliffe traces back to England, or what. But if I up and move to London, don't say you didn't see it coming. :-)
