It doesn't really sound ANYTHING like Velocity Girl -- none of Archie
Moore's shoegazery guitars, and the tempos are on the slow side -- but
it's a big step up from both the final VG record (which had a great
single and was otherwise forgettable) and her first solo record (which
was just plain forgettable), and she sounds great throughout.

Actually, Patricia Barber is a dead ringer for a woman I dated briefly
in college, who was not in fact a librarian but an adjunct English
professor...although not one of mine, I hasten to add. It wasn't
*that* scandalous.
