  in helping out with keeping the cd population down, i adopted and
  neutered a new pet disc a few days ago:

  ...liquorice - listening cap...

  i give all new music a hefty spin through my stereo. once or twice
  a day for a few days, until i am really familiar with the music.
  my initial opinions are usually very harsh, and after a few days i
  soften up a bit and i'm not as critical of what i'm listening to.
  in this case, i haven't budged from my initial response. i find this
  to be a rather boring affair, and i have tried very hard to fall in
  love with it. i adore the 7" single, and the song on the Red Hot &
  Bothered 10" isn't too bad, but very little contained on 'listening
  cap' has pulled at my heart strings. i've warmed up to jenny's voice
  over the last year, but when it comes down to it...i find her songs
  very very boring. we're not talking the tempo of the songs being too
  slow, if anything they're a bit too choppy on LC...too much flip-flopping
  that i find wonderful on other recordings by others artists. i truly
  enjoy half of what's offered here. 'keeping the weekend free' is a
  wonderful take on bruno's song...'drive around' having a vocally loop
  that is another defever staple. the overall mood of the song makes me
  smile....plus the blip of noise in two spots is a fun way to make you
  jump when you're listening w/headphones on. 'breaking the ice' is a
  fine testament to why i have fallen for dan littleton & ida. i was
  a little surprise dthat the song built so much energy towards the end..
  perfect climax. 'blew it' just made me laugh like crazy....i can't help
  but think that it belongs on the soundtrack to Clueless for some reason.
  it reminds me of disco. i don't know why. i suggest this cd to anyone who
  really enjoys jenny's music. i'm sure her fans wouldn't be disappointed
  at all. warren's production isn't over the top...so i assume these
  are all the low-key versions that were picked to be on the album. :)
  if you're vaguelly familiar with jenny's music, you might want to consider
  looking into 'listening cap'. some moments sparkle and some are rather
  dim to me...i think just about anyone could find at least one song on the
  album that they thoroughly enjoyed. the art is pretty spiff. not the best
  v23 creation, but fitting given the music it represents.
