Natasha’s made good use of her time on the coasts, combining a couple of hailed shows with a Letterman appearance here, and stopping over at Kimmel’s place last night while in the vicinity for some West coast shows.

Two Suns is out via Astralwerks. Don’t forget about “Daniel”‘s lo-fi version.

    This song rocks my nuts, and she sounds awesome.
