Funny, I was just reading about Jane's new project this morning. (Don't know if this has been mentioned elsewhere, and I haven't listened to a note of it, so feel free to tell me it's crap. Or not.

I bought "Rush Hour"'s parent album Fur out of a vinyl cutout bin once but i can't even remember how it goes now. also having trouble recalling "Mad About You" without getting it tangled up with Mad About You's theme song "Final Frontier"

Rush Hour is all-time. Pure joy. And one of the few big classic 80s pop singles that hasn't yet been overplayed.

challop?
"Mad About You" is the best thing Belinda ever recorded (Go-Go's included).
― Dr. (Johnny Fever), Thursday, 13 January 2011 20:50 (thirteen years ago) link
best Andy Taylor solo for sure

I love Mad About You too. I'm just talking degrees of greatness here.

i saw the go-gos in the early 00s and was impressed by wiedlin's energy on stage -- she has so much personality and a great pop sound/fashion sensibility.

Every day is Jane Wiedlin day. Total underrated pop genius.

OMG My sister had that first Belinda album when she was in grade school and used to sing along to it. So I heard it a thousand times. Cute kids with good taste are irresistable.

If you created an iTunes playlist with (in this order):

i did a "heaven is a place on earth" at karaoke once, and twirled like my life depended on it
re: thread title - slight edge to "rush hour", just because sometimes i'm not into BC's quiver

Yo Alfred your list is missing "I Get Weak." It's essential to really cultivating Belinda fandom.
― Shart Shaped Box (Phil D.), Sunday, 19 June 2011 02:24 (twelve years ago) link
i get weak >> heaven is a place on earth >>>> circle in the sand which is p zzzz imo

Tom and Marcello have good bits on "Heaven is a Place on Earth."

circle in the sand could've been such a great stevie nicks single, you could even get lindsey to nail that little solo

I think Heaven is my fav but Mad About you is pretty great too. I love her so much.

I started following JW on Twitter and so far, this is an interesting interview where she talks about punk and punks and being a woman

And of course, that’s the only way it could be if you’re all women.Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. Thank you.Is that the kind of obstacle you faced being an all female band?Yeah. Not so much from within the punk movement; we got fairly good support really early on because it was such an inclusive movement. But the outside world for sure were like “This is ridiculous.” Like I remember going early on to local radio stations, and the DJs would just be like “What a joke. Girls?” It was crazy sexist. I mean, the things people used to say to us, a lawsuit would be started over today. Another funny thing about being women, there was the boring and obvious rumors that we had somehow slept with someone to get somewhere, which is just so cliché and stupid.

I'd never heard the full Fur album until last night. Am I crazy in thinking this sounds a lot like Madonna in places? The production is a lot like True Blue/Like a Prayer, and that probably plays a big part, but even Jane's voice sounds like her every once in a while.

Just now listening to Jane's Tangled album from 1990. It's vv good! Why have I never listened to it before?
