  5. JANE WIEDLIN
    Fur
    1988 Canada pressing

    Saturday morning breakfast with my favorite Go-Go.

    This album on whole is VERY underrated.
    “Rush Hour” has got to be one of my ten or so favorite songs from that entire decade.

    I met Jane Wiedlin about fifteen years ago, and she was one of the more fun, unique and quirky people I’ve ever gotten the pleasure to meet.
    Somewhere in my basement library (which is in dire need of organizational overhaul) is the “Rush Hour” 7” single she signed for me.

    Such a fun album.

  9. "Rush hour" from Joyrider.

    "Play Belinda Carlisle" said someone earlier. Will this do; a cover of Jane Wiedlin's 1988 powerpop song, with added guitar scuzz.

    Compare to the original:

    The band's only hit, they went their separate ways before the end of the year.

  10. Another cover almost no one will know but that has stuck with me for decades—Jane Wiedlin’s “One Hundred Years of Solitude.” Still learning how to sing this one but liked this enough to share it anyway.
