Deirdre Flint in NYC

If you're unfamiliar with the folk singer Deirdre Flint, then you should be. She's one of the smartest, funniest, most charming chanteuses performing today. Her songs wax nostalgic and lovingly about dating, the 1970s, breakups, Nancy Drew, old friends, Donald Rumsfeld, boobs, cheerleaders, belly dancers, Nancy Drew, nuns, food, Kenya -- you name it. In this clip, she reminds us about that terrible fate our nation avoided, the metric system.

She's easily one of the most original singers out there.

I had the joy of seeing Deidre with her singing troupe The Four Bitchin' Babes last year at BB King's Blues Club. She and her fellow babes brought the house down with one of the most enjoyable shows I've ever seen. Deidre doesn't play in NYC too often but tomorrow night she'll be at the The Living Room on Ludlow Street as part of the Upstairs Sessions. The show starts 7:30 and, for more information, check out Deidre's site.

You can also listen to more of her music here.
