Very excited to hear what your new venture sounds like. I've enjoyed everything from your classic Janes's work through PBR to your stint touring with Garbage. <BR/><BR/>Speaking of Garbage, I'm thrilled to see that Shirley Manson has contributed to your new cd; you two create a "cool groove" together.<BR/><BR/>Keeping the faith and eagerly awaiting the new music.

This is definately the best news I've heard all year and the one album I look forward to hearing more than any other. I very rarely buy new music these days but this is one that I wouldnt miss for the world! If and when you play live, will you hire a band to play with you or will you just go it alone with an acoustic? Either way, I'm sure it will sound fresh and original and you can bet that I'll be there, wherever or whenever you decide to play<BR/><BR/>J.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34077024.post-59191184319709741322007-04-04T16:24:00.001-07:002007-04-04T16:24:00.001-07:00I'm VERY excited for you and the new album!
