She thrilled capacity crowds on 22-city tour of North America last spring, including a performance in front of 10,000 ecstatic fans at Coachella. She appeared on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" and "Jimmy Kimmel Live", and capped of the year with a stunning performance on "Late Show with David Letterman". Last but not least, she ended the year being named "#1 Pop Album of 2008" and "#4 Album of 2008" on iTunes U.S.
TV is My Parent captures some of the best moments of the past two years. The disc kicks off with amazing live concert footage recorded at the Hiro Ballroom in 2007, where she performed tracks from some people have REAL problems and Colour The Small One, as well as some older material originally recorded in collaboration with Zero 7. It also features all four of the music videos created for some people have REAL problems, plus behind the scenes footage from her 2008 North American tour.
