Music Monday #088 – The Jane Austen Argument

The Jane Austen Argument opened for the Dresden Dolls last Wednesday in sAdelaide rAdelaide. A great young (yeah, I’m getting old – get off my lawn) band that’s worth a listen.

The Jane Austen Argument are an Australian musical duo from Melbourne, Victoria. Formed in 2010 by Tom Dickins, (vocals, piano, ukulele) and Jen Kingwell (piano, vocals, ukulele), the band consider themselves an “indie cabaret duo with overtones of anti-folk and punk love”. The duo have had a great amount of support by friend and fellow artist Amanda Palmer, and have supported her on her Goes Down Under Tour of 2011 as well as featured on her compilation record of the same name. Their debut album Somewhere Under The Rainbow comes out in 2012.

* Subspace Survivors by E. E. Smith [librivox]
A team of space travelers are caught in a subspace accident which, up to now, no one has ever survived. But some of the survivors of the Procyon are not ordinary travelers. Their psi abilities allow them to see things before they happen. But will it be enough?
Smith’s story “Subspace Survivors” first appeared in the July 1960 issue of the magazine Astounding.
