Laura Cantrell (born c. 1967) is a countrysinger-songwriter and DJ from Nashville, Tennessee. She used to present a weekly country and old-time music radio show on WFMU called The Radio Thrift Shop. Since October 2005 she has only made occasional appearances on the station.
Her singing career began when she was at college, performing with various local groups. She later befriended John Flansburgh of They Might Be Giants, with whom she sings on the band's Apollo 18 (1992). Flansburgh also released her first solo material: an EP on his "Hello CD of the Month Club" in June 1996, which was reissued in 2004 as The Hello Recordings.
Cantrell married Jeremy Tepper, the founder of Diesel Only Records, in 1997. Cantrell went on to release all but one of her studio albums on Diesel Only.
"I was so lucky that the head of my department was an Elvis Costello fan,"
"He said, 'that's incredible that you've got this opportunity so you have to follow your dream and we'll give you the time to do it.' The price for me was I also had to work, so I took a laptop and a phone and I just worked on the road and then checked in with the office every day."
"I never thought of being a musician as a proper career."
"But I always really loved to sing and I felt like I should try to figure out a way to have more time for that in my life. It ended up being a career but I never anticipated that several years ago."
"We tried to change some of the philosophies to get the RAs to understand that they can make or break the first year for freshmen."
"It's more than a building; it's a community. It's more than a job; it's a role model."
I see you walking up 14th Street and you don't know That I'm walking right behind you, walking real slow I don't want to catch up with you 'cause once we got started We'd have to see it through I see you on the street, you kiss my cheek My knees go weak It's clear you've got nothing to lose While I'm losing sleep I see you walking up 14th Street and you don't know I'm following behind you counting my steps as I go Maybe ten steps or twelve, divide us in two Not counting the blocks between me and you I see you on the street, you kiss my cheek My knees go weak It's clear you've got nothing to lose While I'm losing sleep People said watch out for that situation It's nothing more than crazy infatuation Insisting it was love, I weighed common sense I played with my heart 'til I saw how much I spent I see you walking up 14th Street and you don't know Now I'm so close behind you, almost in your shadow Maybe one step or two and I'd be walking next to you Not counting the blocks between me and you I see you on the street, you kiss my cheek My knees go weak It's clear you've got nothing to lose While I'm losing sleep I see you on the street and my knees go weak
