It's great to hear your vocals against such a different backdrop Lisa. And as I like VU and Lou Reed I thought this worked really well ' Excellent product too! Well done both of you. Peter |

I beat Ed! Classic DH sound with a little something extra (a little like Barbara Morgenstern or maybe Liz Phair in places). Top backing track Greg. Full of surprises Lisa! :) Neil |

Nice I personally dont mind you using the words 'fucking umbrella' in your song and I don't think that just because you are talented it should preclude you from using language in any form at all. The word 'fuck' in a song can be as musical and creative as any other (or as non musical and non creative depending on the perpetrator) I found this to be an interesting track musically and vocally and it seems to be a bit of a departure for you. Is there more stuff like this on the horizon? b |

When I met you in the restaurant... ... i could tell you were ledebutant. Nice attitude sister, and what a mouth.... do you kiss your mother with that!!??? Boy candy - you sound like a real maneater, baby... wanna come over here and make something of it??? More guys, and Lisa, great lyrics, and a delivery Like Debbie meets laurie )A) |

ear candy Lisa, great track. Creative, edgy, and fits the challenge perfectly. Kudo's to you both. I thought your vocal captured that sullen, street smart, give a f*ck attitude, in a big way. Greg: the backing tracks are waaaay cool. The dissonant jazzy piano and thrash guitars just go unbelievable well together. Completely different, and I love it. |

brava Everything you do. You do well. I love the lyrics and stark minimalist instrumentation. True to the era (well... except maybe the piano would be out of tune. :) ) |

Nice work Great collab chaps! The music bed is dark and unsettling in all the right ways and the vocal flows into all the cracks and crevices. Excellent lyrics and solid performances all round. I second what Bryn says about the use of the word "fucking". Such words exist to give a specific nuance of expression and are as valid a part of the language as any other word. It's used here in an appropriate context and does exactly what it's meant to do. |

word To me, this is like beat poetry set to music. Very very cool. Oh, and 'fuck' is just another word to be used when appropriate. As it is here. |

moody Like the edgy quality you captured with both the lyrics and the both punctual and sporadic drum hits. The guitar/piano sound has a Steely Dan flavor to it of sorts. Nice combinations bring this song a unique but reminiscent toughness made effective with your soft pleasant voice. The bad girl guys love to love, despite the dire consequences. |

T-Shirt! Ha ha! How cool! Very unique timing on the singing and the instruments. Such a relaxed approach to jazzy punk song. Very unique. I particularly like the simplicity of the chorus. Boy Candy. I bet you have at least one safety pin in your t-shirt, and it's probably already ripped. |

This be very cool! So different from the other stuff I've heard of yours, and I like that you're going for it! The music is great! I had to count it off to see if it was in 5/4 time, but it's not. It's just a very interesting 4/4. Way cool and complex rhythm and instrumentation. The lyrics are so Studio 54! Wait, I meant, the lyrics are so fucking Studio 54! Great vocals Lisa. I love the duality of your lilting voice with the racy lyrics. NICE! |

Very interesting Not my normal genre however I am glad that I listened to this track, its really good. The music is top esp the drums. The lyrics are really good and well sung to create a punk vibe. Good track, well enjoyed. |

Stark and angular Cool voice from Lisa, as usual, and I like Greg's interesting musical backing... sometimes it feels jangly and sometimes super smooth. It's new territory as backing music for Lisa. The rain, the cracks in the sidewalk and the general attitude make me think of Polanski's movie "Repulsion". Great collab, guys! |
 | michael2 said 247 days ago |

you know i don't use a lot of swears, but there is something so good about hearing Lisa swear. Greg: excellent job with the music, Lisa: you kicked some butt on this one... BTW: F@*K |

deborah meets lou... ...didn't even read the description and it came to mind... ...very cool tune...like ice... Great collab |
 | bud said 247 days ago |

What a great collaboration there's a wonderful contrast and harmony all at the same time. Lisa - your voice / performance of the song is really spot on for this sort of thing and greg's arrangement / playing is the perfect blend of smarty pants punk jazz. This is such an authentic NY Lower East Side avant garde sound - it's just great. Well done. Maybe more suited to the Mudd Club than CBGB - but I'm not complaining. |

jazz wave punk interesting mix of styles. from smooth vocals to a bit edgy music bed. a nice blend for a cool listen. excellent lyrics too. Now I use to know this girl that was so into Blondie and looked like her that...... ah, i better shut my mouth |
 | dajama said 247 days ago |

Excellent Love the picture the lyrics paint (more of a movie, actually...) and the vocal performance is perfect - a little vampish, a little cynical, a little rebellious. Sweet. The guitar is outstanding - lovely tone, perfect for the vibe of the song - and great playing. Great addition to the CBGB canon. Nicely done to both of you. Peace. |

Definite Debra in the delivery. The right attitude with the delivery. Cool to hear something a little different from you. I like the lyrics a lot too. Good one. Regards |

Although this is alluding to days gone by, I find it also bang up to date. I can actually imagine this as a hit now. Fantastic sound bed and wonderful lyrics/vocals. Downloaded. Thanks. Cheers Len |

Was looking foward to this Really weird in a cool way. Digging the random guitar. Lisa, really nice delivery and lyrics. Spreading your wings. Can't say enough, but DIG IT! Dave |

Tough girl in the making Great tune. The lyrics and the whole arrangement come together very nicely for a moody streetwise atmosphere. Bit of a change of pace for you? I don't recall hearing much like this. |

right then always love your work ... especially love the exchange between you and gail ... two very classey artist comparing notes honestly and respectfully .. what's not to like ... great tune. |

1 cool i-pod tune great vocals on this. alot of people would have trouble sounding this cool!! i know i would!!!! ha ha!! you really have to flow with this vocally to make it work and you did great. i also like the lyrics especially the first verse. it has a good groove as well feels like your walking as your telling the story, so its a good 1 for everyone's i-pod's. |

popping brilliant I know but seriously I love everything about this but particularly the raunchy voice and quirky guitar, my fav CBGB entry so far. |

is it hot in here remember my last comment reguarding the innocence in your voice..... forget everything I said... I'd like to comment, but first I think I'll go see if the wife is busy! |

Greg and Lisa together! Seemed like an odd pairing but it works well. You bring each other to a different place, just as this song transports the listener. Mucho frickin cool. |
 | thoddi said 244 days ago |
|
huh Cool description. You even sounded like Debbie Harry at points here. Maybe on purpose or maybe not, but the way the drums are mixed in here, making it clear to the listener that this is not real drums is the cool way to do them. Trying to make boxed midi drums sound like real seldom works. Good choice! I can dig the laid back way you sing this Lisa. Suits the rough edge of the song and you sound confident. Very good lyrics to match the rock'n roll touch in the guitars and overall feel of this tune. Well done, both of you! |

great song certainly does have that Blondie feel to it. Great vocal delivery. It's always fun to do something a little different. |

Kinda Has a D Boone Minutemen vibe to it, too. Or Lounge lizards. Very jazzy and spastic at the same time. Skanky, just the way I like 'em. Really cool. Philip |

OOOh the drums on this work well. I like the laid back singing with the sparse guitar great collab. I like the lead and piano. the f bomb I think works well with the whole mood of the song |

Combo Love the combo. Your vocals grab the soul of this style and Greg's parts are very punk. Just the song for an evening at the club. Thanks Bill |

The Peanut Gallery's Two Cents I liked your lyrics especially "last night's party running down her face." and the pocket full of rubbers and box of cigarettes. In your arrangement had you thought about a simple beat and guitar? It seemed to me that a simpler arrangement would have made the lyrics and your vocal stand out more which in turn would have emphasized the desperation of the narrator. Something more like Lou Reed's "Walk on the Wild Side." Seems as though you could have built to a musical climax by starting slower and simpler and ending with the accented guitar and drums. It is still a fine effort. |

I love the plaintiff delivery - does capture that S. Vega rawness when she first hit the scene. Great odd time musical performance. I don't think they ever heard such improvisational adroitness at CBGB, at least not when I was there! |

Great I really like you vocals.... It has feelings, in the singing.... Really great... And i like the rhythm, and the guitar.... Great song.... Thanks for sharing.... |

Sweet as candy. I enjoy songs that contain 'fuck' even those with basic lyrics that go along the lines of 'fuck,fuck.fuck.fuckitty fuck' - providing the melody has sufficient intrigue and singability and this wee choon is no exception. As has been mentioned the Steelyesque quality in the music together with the breathy delivery sure hits the spot. A quality listen and a sexy vibe. Aw the best doll. |

Sweet. To a certain extent it put me in mind of Pretty Girls Make Graves. One of my favourite bands. I see comments about the use of the F word. I've no idea why this word is considered so bad. It is actually a great and the most versatile word in the dictionary. I don't want to argue with anyone about that though. It just crossed my mind. Really depends on the use. Oooh contoversy! |

Man I'm so... ...so, so late on this! But it's worth the wait. Genuinely a great track and fantastic to hear you going out on a limb like this. I love it from start to finish; the fidgety drums, the hopelessly out of time guitar, the trebly sound mix, the sexy vocal. Straight off a Blondie rehearsal studio cassette. Great. And coming, as I do, from northern England, where swearing is actively encouraged (if not compulsary) - the more swearing the better, as far as I'm concerned:-)) Love it! |

You had me at "Old raincoat" What boy (even dirty old bastards like this one) can resist such fresh sonic meat? I was aching to do a CBCB's cut but work got in the way. Thanks for this great tune. Fits well in any decade. |

F* yeh! I'm not exactly sure how to articulate this, but bare with me... Sometimes I come across MacJams songs that seem to transcend the posting of songs on a Macintosh-made music sharing website. This is one of them. The sound, the style, the concept - it just strikes me as being a little "more" than I would normally find here. Maybe it's the edginess, or the crazy arrangement, but it's exciting to listen to songs like this. Cool lyrics, Lisa. I love "last night's party running down her face". Very nice. And your breathy vocals are perfect against that arrangement. Great work. |
its Punk sista ! ... great singin and arrangment
who plays the guitar ? loops ? sounds real ..
great one !!
