I just heard 'Are You Ready for It' and thought of ayah.

It was enjoyable.

From amazon:

Quote:
An overdose of pilled-up pop and toxic teenbeat, Night Of 1,000 Ex-Boyfriends sounds like it was unleashed by a gang of unsupervised twelve year olds who’ve spent the past two years starving to death on a diet of wine coolers, Spaghetti-O's , and Teddy Grahams. The cheerleader-charged "My Sharona"-meets-Gary Glitter sugarpop of the opening "Are You Ready For It" (which tackles such Hello Kitty-friendly lyrical issues as "cherry pies and whipping cream") hardly sets the stage for the rest of the set, in which the girls reveal their whacked-out party plans via forays into nonsensical nightclubbing habits ("Scene Whore"), pills ’n’ thrills ("Weekend Bender"), obnoxious late night phone calls ("Drunk Dial"), and necrophilia-obsessed boy toys ("Death Boy"). Produced in random spurts of intolerance by the tenacious tag team of the Dwarves’ Blag Dahlia and Bradley Cook (Foo Fighters / Distillers / Ataris ), the album explodes with monster-sized guitar riffs, cute-but-kinky vocals, and an unhealthy obsession with getting wrecked on school nights, and -- in the end -- successfully captures the sonically-satisfying results of Josie And The Pussycats getting gang-banged by the Misfits.

This sounds pretty interesting, especially the unhealthy obsession with getting wrecked.

If (if) they are dug by even one person, we could be witnessing an Obner first for me.

Like if Letters To Cleo were a punk band on a lot of speed.

I dig it.

After listening to the MySpace song, I still want to hear more. That first song 'Are You Ready For It' was a bit too cutesy for me, I think Glenn needed to jump in to the pile a bit more. But the others were pretty fun, 'Drunk Dial' and 'Weekend Bender'. The latter song started 'This is a song about drugs' and then the Josie and the Pussycats start singing about crazy cracked out times together. Fans of The Donnas will probably dig this.
