Forever sitting with her knees bunched up by the window in some Soho loftspace staring out at a pale, wintry afternoon.

What if I like Susanne Vega and the new albums by Beck and Neil Finn. Does Metamucil have a subscription service?

this is not what I expected her to sound like in 2014 - I like it!

hmmm does it work now?
She's classic even just for Tom's Diner. The DNA remix is always good for hang outs

there's some godawful modern alternative rock song that samples the DNA remix of this and her voice and when it comes on the radio I'm always duped momentarily and then it starts in with its awful racket and I get mad

Solitude Standing still holds up, IMO. Great record.

I didn't know until doing research for an obit that Demme directed the video for the title track.

Drippy Indie pretenders these ladies. "...female singer-songwriters with fringes." Suzanne Vega? Your jokeing right? How about some voices with a little intensity to them, i.e. Veda Hilla, Marianne Nowottny, or Fursaxa. Please, get with it Ben!

Ironbound/Fancy Poultry absolute classic, especially the long instrumental tail

Listened to the first album last winter for the first time in years. "Cracking" is still so great.

Tales from the Realm of the Queen of Pentacles
Hearing this for the first time tonight, "Portrait of the Knight of Wands" came up in a mix and is pretty compelling:

The would-be highlight of the Pretty in Pink soundtrack, had Echo & the Bunnymen not had something to say about it.
