jane child - here not there




listened to jane child's second album again last night. it's hotttt & it's exactly the album i would've made in 1993, in some parallel universe where all my ideas actually worked. hell, even her piano ballad in 5, i mean who hasn't fantasized about writing a sad song in odd time. okay, just me then. the album is a strange one, the first song rocks, the second song is a commerical-sounding pop song. the third song rocks, the fourth song is an even more commerical pop song with a better chorus & awesome bass line. it's that kind of thing. i would've wanted my work to straddle the line between art & commerce exactly that way.

jane child's publishing company was called Radical Dichotomy, which even sounds like my 'label' at the time, 'Bizarre Depiction'. Right?
