Odes "Honey Gets Hard"
In between playing bass for NYC uber-hipster outfit Love Child and founding gURL.com, Rebecca Odes had herself a little solo project which released this single and an 8-song mini-LP, both on Merge, in the mid-90s. The A-side of this 7 inch, "Meltaway" is a nice little slice of dream pop but the B-side is the real winner. It's pretty sexy and suggestive for a song about frigidity. And take a look at that back cover.
Hubba hubba.
I don't know know what Odes is up to musically nowdays but it seems as though since leaving gURL.com, she's gotten married, started a family and written a few books. If you want to remember how she was back then, this 7 inch is still available from Merge for three and a half bucks.

Funny, her single sounds a lot like "I'm drunk" by the Grifters.
Either way, she's a heoine and her books (except the pregnancy one) are always popular borrows from my classroom lending library. No teenage gurl should have to go through adolescence without a copy of Deal With It!
Oops. Fixed.
