Creative Loafing cover girl and Tropical Heatwave star Amanda Shaw returns to Tampa Bay to play Skipper's Smokehouse on August 8. If you saw the singer/songwriter/fiddler in May then you're already excited about catching this roots rock/Cajun pop act return for a headlining gig. Click here for my review/photos of Shaw's outstanding performance at Heatwave. Here's the WMNF press release, which includes an extended excerpt of my review, and me requesting Shaw play Skipper's in near future (photos by Wade Tatangelo):

Heatwave review:

“Shaw’s poise, charisma, and chops belie her age. Then again, she’s been performing in public for a decade, and it showed Saturday. Shaw elated the crowd with her singular brand of Cajun-flavored roots rock. Boasting a strong and expressive voice colored with genuine twang and beat-the-devil fiddle skills, the diminutive frontwoman turned in a dynamic performance that included interestingly reworked blues (”Got My Mojo Workin’”), traditional zydeco (”Hot Tamale Baby”) and Cajun-spiced punk (The Clash’s “Should I Stay or Should I Go?”).

Shaw’s originals, mostly culled from her Rounder Records debut Pretty Runs Out, were equally varied and impressive, with the teenager revealing a knack for mature lyrics and catchy hooks that make her rustic sounds appealing to pop fans — without sounding too poppy. Could Shaw bring Cajun music to the masses? Perhaps. For now, I just hope she returns to play a local venue like Skipper’s in the near future.”

- Wade Tatangelo, Creative Loafing

SARA HICKMAN - With a twenty year recording career (including releases on Elektra, Discovery and Shanachie), the Texas singer-songwriter has an impressive catalogue of songs. Live, she is an irresistible, irrepressible spirit who is nearly impossible to categorize, with a musical style ranging from pop to jazz to folk to her own brand of whimsical music.

The more files and programs that are required at startup, the greater the likelihood of experiencing slow windows startup.As your computer tries to locate, open and run the programs required to start your computer, it relies on the speed of your hard drive to help the process. A full or fragmented hard drive takes much longer to locate information. Because of this, you want to make sure your hard drive isn’t cram packed, or fragmented.

No one likes a Windows XP slow startup.When you startup your computer you want it to be ready to use immediately. I can not make it that fast, but I can help you fix Windows XP slow startup.First step to fix Windows XP slow startup is to find out what programs are loading when you startup Windows XP. To do this click start, run, then type in msconfig and hit enter. Look at the Boot.ini tab. In the box labeled Timeout change the time from the default 30 to 3. This changes how long it waits to before booting.
