Friday comes early part II: Jenny Creek Rocks Again

[cyrano]

Some of you may recall Jenny Creek's first album, While You Were Out.
It probably had some tracks on it that were too mainstream. Now, while putting together her second album, I'm trying to avoid that. However, with my limited exposure to radio and Mtv and the stuff kids these days are listening to, I have no idea how to tell myself what's "overplayed" and what's a hidden indie gem that nobody's ever heard before. In that vein, I ask a cross section of you all to tell me which of these you think I should pull. I'm most concerned about the Poe, Sinead O'Connor and Evanescence tracks, but I'm hoping they were LP cuts that most people didn't hear. Everybody please check the "Ticky Box!" so that I know you took the poll even if you have no tracks you think are too overplayed. (:

The only one I'm familiar with is the Sinead O'Connor, because I'm just completely not a music geek. :-) But it's a good song, I just happen to have that album.

I know maybe two of those songs.
Not that my unfamiliarity with anything is to be taken as something not being overplayed - I pretty much only listen to whatever is on my ipod.

I think Jenny's new album should have more of Jenny's original work than the first album did. :-)

As soon as Jenny writes a few more new songs, we'll talk. (:
(This is why I'm trying to find songs that are less mainstream for this album.)

...I have no answer to this question, I'd just like to point out that the above looks like the tracklisting to the sort of mix CD that would be waiting for me if by some fluke I ever get to heaven.

(Not even because I've heard all those songs, but because it consists of exactly the sort of stuff that makes me happy, plus I'm always pleased to see The Donnas mentioned anywhere)

Wow. If you've also heard Joydrop doing 'Beautiful' then I'm going to be *really* impressed. (: (I didn't bother listing that track because I felt secure about its indiehood.)
I'll have to make sure you get a copy of this, once Jenny cuts it.
The other Donnas track I was thinking of using was "Take it Off"--do you have any thoughts on the matter?
