On Tuesday February 23 they performed the song Futile Crush which has become the third in the Niederdorf Music Video series I am creating for <a class="offsite-link-inline" href="http://www.cafe-henrici.ch" target="_blank">Cafe Henrici</a>.

<p><a class="offsite-link-inline" href="http://www.janelui.com/" target="_blank">Jane Lui</a> is a musician and good friend of mine. We met many years ago in the San Diego cafe music scene. Back in 2007 we happend to be in London at the same time. Unfortunately our schedules only intersected for two hours. What would be a better use of those two hours other than making a music video? Nothing.</p>
<p>Currently Jane is working on her third studio album and is raising money for it through <a href="http://www.pledgemusic.com/">Pledge Music</a>. Check out some of her <a class="offsite-link-inline" href="http://www.youtube.com/user/LuieLand" target="_blank">music on Youtube</a>. If you are in to it, think about <a href="http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/250">dropping her a donation</a>.</p>
<p><strong>My favorite Youtube videos from Jane:<br /><span style="font-weight: normal;"><a class="offsite-link-inline" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qho3So_erc" target="_blank">Duck Tales</a><br /><a class="offsite-link-inline" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSHLZP2vKyE" target="_blank">Edelweiss</a><br /><a class="offsite-link-inline" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7zaQYg4OtY" target="_blank">Long Ago</a></span></strong></p>
