More Black Women Link'd
Nalo Hopkinson (hope your luggage makes it back to you safely, love) pointed me towards non-Korean-American comedienne Kate Rigg:
The web address of Kate's Chink-O-Rama, Slanty Eyed Mama, Birth of a nASIAN, Kate Rigg standup comedian, Kate Rigg serious Juilliard trained actor with an actual resume, Kate Rigg ex-Torontonian, ex-Melbournian, current bi coastal New Yorker, writer of plays and screenplays and bad poetry, hostess of events, fag hag drag hag pop-culture vulture multimedia friend to freaks everywhere hapa feng shui consultant writer of articles on politics and culture, comedy impresaria and fashion victim slash tacky ghetto fabulous scenester.
I have a weakness for the ghetto fabulous, you know.
And eMusic, which I just rejoined now that I'm gainfully(?) employed again, featured Caroline Lavelle on their latest sampler:
Parallel with her solo career, in recent years Caroline has worked with a huge variety of artists; as a classically trained cellist her first professional employment was with Siouxsie and The Banshees and since then she has contributed to albums by Radiohead (The Bends), Peter Gabriel, Muse,and The Waterboys to name just a few. In the late 90s Caroline toured with the Indigo Girls and Loreena McKennitt and has also played live with (Ryuichi) Sakamoto, The Cranberries and Nigel Kennedy amongst others, while in complete contrast contributed writing and vocals to an array of dance anthems by the likes of Massive Attack, Jam Nation, Art Of Trance, BT and Chicane.
Good company, I think. And good music; if you're not a member of eMusic, you can also download some tracks and samples from her web site, if you wanted to know, or hear, more.
Oh, and Shasta MacNasty has a bit on that thing that happened during the Super Bowl halftime show that I'm ignoring, as does wait, should I be linking this site? Well, that entry, this site.
Especially given she links Another stupid white people entry over at this site.
Of course, Shasta asks A Question for White Men, so maybe I should just leave the sistas alone. They seem a mite touchy.

Yes, honey, thank you; luggage finally showed up, 36 hours later. I've been reunited with my deodorant, and I'm sure that thousands are thankful.

Hey Kate. Thanks for dropping by.
Liz, er, thanks. Or you're welcome. Or something.
Nalo, I wish I could come up with a witty response to that. Perhaps I'll edit this comment to add one later. But I'm glad your luggage did make it back to you safely.
