ANNA by ANNA WARONKER

had no idea this was out... sure took a long time since the demise of the underappreciated That Dog. What's it like? Her last album with TD was great.

the write up i did for my campus's radio station was not a complimentary one...couldn't tell the songs apart even after i listened to the damned thing 3x

at first i was excited. i really enjoyed totally crushed out and i love that dog's retreat from the sun. figured anna's solo effort was promising. the cover is the best part. a completely nude anna sans a black wire choker. but then everything was adding up to this new badass image. first off, the album itself: ANNA by ANNA WARONKER those are madonna capitals ya know? then a nude cover. put out on her own record label five foot two. (whose slogan btw is one of the dumbest statements ive ever read "because better music comes from smaller labels") the actual disc is a series of her face. aside from the catchy "I Wish You Well" track (which is also on the josey and the pussycats soundtrack) i didnt enjoy much of it at all. other songs are catchy, and you do find yourself singing along to the chorus pretty quick. for instance, in "How Do You Sleep At Night" you get all into it. but when you hear yourself saying "and im not gonna let you push me; 'cause im gonna push you/ ill push you/ ill push you" you just feel dumb. but the absolute worst is the SNARL. i forget what track but yes, she SNARLS. dont get me wrong, im not trying to criticize her if she wants to be a riot grrl now. but my first reaction was "leave the attitude to kat bjelland and stick with the la la la's" i like heathen chemistry more. atleast it has TWO good songs.

Poor little rich girl, too bad her album sucks.

I assume Waronker as in father Lenny, brother Joey?

Imagine them doing a Coppola movie s/t...

Five Foot Two is putting out a new Muffs record, so if Anna had anything to do with that she's a genius. She looks great on the cover of her album. And any record with "I Wish You Well" is a great record.
