here's one of my favorite overlooked albums. great lyrics with interesting production...

Jill Sobule - (st)


Industry Reviews
Like Cyndi Lauper, Jill Sobule comes off as the kooky little girl next door, all giggle and high-pitched eccentricity. But just as Lauper proved that a multi-dimensional woman dwells inside the facade, so does Sobule.
Her perky melodies and stark instrumentation aid the album's true centerpiece--her quirky lyrics. Sobule's songs are anecdotal short stories, and here's a brief tour of the characters who inhabit them: "Margaret," who was the most popular girl in St. Mary's High School and is now a porn actress; Karen, a proper shoestore manager who becomes a thieving, leather-clad biker at night; the lovers warring between themselves and the lovers caught in the Bosnian War on "Vrbana Bridge"; the "Girl In The Affair," waiting in the airy bossa nova background; and, in the most unlikely pop hit of the year, the girl who kissed a girl. Sobule's active imagination is poetically and articulately expressed in her catchy, well-conceived songs. And she's a lovable wacko. It's in her voice, her lyrics, the accordions, snares, violins, knee-slaps, and the drunk-sounding back-up singers. It's obvious she had fun recording this.


Included in Q's 50 Best Albums of 1995 - ...she sounds like a less squeaky Cyndi Lauper, but inhabits altogether quirkier territory...
Q Magazine (02/01/1996)

...Sobule does manage to distinguish herself from the pack of little girl-voiced women....more revolutionary and hysterically funny than anything since Liz Phair's debut... - Rating: A-

No, I haven't found a good rip utility for Mac yet. Can you recomend one, cause this is recorded pretty good.

I'll see what I can find. My Zen thanks you for the mp3s, tho.

No problem, if you can find me a good one, I'll FLAC the AIFF files I ripped from the CD I recorded.
