Hi, all, I'm still a relative new3comer, so i don't know if this kind of idea has been kicked around before, but following up on my comment of a few days ago that I felt that both DJRD and TtT were "closure" albums in some sense, bringing in songs of differing styles to... I don't know, tie up loose ends before moving on to another style. This is more of an impression or a vague idea than a strong conviction. Anyway, i took another look at the songs of Tiger over the last couple of days and thought of looking in her past catalog for "bookend" songs, songs that complement the ones on Tiger in one way or another.
For example, when I first heard Man From Mars (it was the version on the Grace of My Heart soundtrack, not sung by the Jonester herself -- btw, did she write this song specifically for the movie, or is it abiout a cat of hers that wandered off, or what? I also seem to remember hearing something about her delaying the release of the soundtrack album from the movie because of some difficulties w/r/t this song. Anybody know the truwe poop about all this?), I thought immediately of Edith and the Kingpin -- particularly the line about hearing the wiring in the walls. Another example is Harlem In Havana, which made me think immediately of Cotton Avenue from DJRD. Love Puts On a New Face -- Well, obviously, In France they Kiss on Main Street, but also to some extent Silky Veils of Ardor.
