In My Own Words:
I am in this for the KUDOS..really, I am..really as well as another self-serving snotty girl with a major attitude and a penchant for 'costume movies' (as long as they are not too terribly girlie). I am musically psychotic, no..wait..I am just plain old pyschotic.

This is one of the quirkiest CD's I have ever purchased. It is difficult to describe the sound exactly but if a combo of Lounge/Bad European 60's movies/Electronica/Go-Go is your bag, then this is for you.

Some exceptional tracks are:

"Reverse Cowgirl" which sounds like Beck meets Cibo Matto meets Hank Williams meets the Jetsons...figure that one out?
