I have been wondering lately where Ani Difranco has been. A best of album? A live album? Hmmm...then the other night my lovely brother showed up with a new Ani DVD for me titled Live at Babeville and all my queries were laid to rest. I had known from a previous DVD that she has been on a quest to save an old church building in her home town of Buffalo, NY. After almost 10 years, that quest has been fulfilled, and the result is Babeville, the new amazing music venue and headquarters for Righteous Babe Records (Ani's label).
But that's not all Ani's been up to. She has also, well, lost the dredz for one (Ani got her dredz about the same time as I did and seems we both got rid of them at the same time - just a weird coincidence), and secondly she has gotten back with her hubby...and they had a baby! The baby was born on Jan 20th last year...I bet she's really cool:)
Anywho, Difranco has started touring again so my fingers and toes are crossed in hope that she will head down under, and judging from the great new songs she played in Live at Babeville, I'm guessing a new album is in the works too.
