I know you want to dismiss San Fran’s Uni and her Ukelele as a cute Tiny Tim-inia. And true, her novelty tunes like “Christmas on Tatooine (A Very Merry Star Wars Christmas),” the thrift-store outfits, and the tons o’ freakin’ unicorns, glitter, and rainbows that she drowns herself in are the stuff that folks who are oh-so-serious about their music get all kinds of pissy about. But this freaky lil’ chiquita with her big, slightly deranged smile and even bigger pipes also delivers some inspired original ditties on her latest, My Favorite Letter Is U (Unicornbread Records; yes, that’s right, Unicornbread), and an occasional live cover of Daniel Johnston’s “True Love Will Find U in the End” that will convert even the most somber audiophile into her glittery, super-gay (in the best traditional and contemporary senses of the word) army. With the Resets, the Jank, and Come Say Hello. MA’CHELL DUMA LAVASSAR
