Well, if this fashion thing doesn't work out—though we think it will—Sam Shipley can always fall back on music. He's recorded an album on his laptop (under the nom de rock The Quiet Woman; that's the cover, pictured), and used some of the tunes for last week's Shipley & Halmos show. We found ourselves tapping along to the songs' lo-fi, T. Rex/Spoon vibe, particularly "Sweet Little Lady," a rollicking love stomp with hand claps and lyrics like "We ain't getting any younger/so let's rub a little longer." Download it, and the Bowie-esque "Finding a Second Stop," below.
