omg I used to have this album back when I was, like, 10! and I still have it somewhere! I barely remember anything about it!

i remember there was a song called "awesome" that was awesome, and i remember that one of the lyrics to some song appropriated the beatles' "glass onion", and i remember there was a song called "with david bowie" even though i didn't really even know who david bowie was ("some musician from before my time" was the closest I got). and i remember there was a song called "venus man trap" and i knew even then that that was a terrible title.

I should totally give this a listen shouldn't I? I'm excited!

hahaha

awesome is pretty good. now that i think about it i feel like there are some fun harmonies on this album. i love that they actually used harmonies.

the david bowie song is eh, and i feel the venus man trap song is like the really heavy number but i'm probably totally wrong.

i can't believe i was drunk enough to watch, like, an hour of veruca salt live footage. that's drunk! ooooof. there is even new footage! i think it's just louise and all new people. i think i'm having a shameover.

The two non-Nina albums aren't bad! I would never recommend them to anyone that wasn't already down w/ the 1st two, though.

Please note: by "not bad," I mean "fantastic and I say that w/out reservation except I know going OMG over this shit won't fly, so I'm tempering my OMG while out in public."

"One Last Time" = best GIRL ROCK POWER BALLAD EVAH. FACT.

Maybe I wouldn't go that far, fact or not, but it does sound pretty good to me right now.

Side note: Nina Gordon's solo albums suck out loud.

really like her vocals on the smashing pumpkins (well iha) track "said sadly" but i am a total 'dorkus malorkus'
