The Roches - Ephemera



I've included complete lyrics for all the uploaded cds (ok, yes, I forgot to include them in the original uploads--shoot me now!), and a complete list of all the available clips on You Tube. The Roches are at their best live, and there are a plethora of clips from their shows available (though, not, alas, the clip of them performing The Hallelujah Chorus on Saturday Night Live--which was the first time a musical group on SNL got a standing ovation). I've also included one-offs, a cover, and a sample (the one I couldn't find is Phoebe Snow's wonderful cover of "The Married Men").
