As you’d expect from her brainy, rambling songs, Kimya Dawson is a pleasure to chat with. Here’s more from a brief chat; she performs tonight at Herbst Theatre with her friend Matt Toby on ukulele.

SFBG: So your life must have really changed after the Juno soundtrack?

Kimya Dawson: I love the movie and I love everybody that worked on the movie. I know that for a lot of the other people who worked on it that I liked and for my family it’s super-exciting and that makes me happy. It’s just one of those things, where this was never the goal for me. I never made music thinking someday I’m going to make it big.
