My friend Christopher texted me over the weekend to tell me he'd forgotten that Nina Gordon (of Veruca Salt fame) had released a solo album in 2000 that "was actually a Bangles album in 1989!" Naturally I was intrigued -- to be honest, I don't even know anything beyond "Seether" but anything even Bangles-adjacent becomes a priority in my book -- no more so than hearing her cover of this classic Skeeter Davis hit, one of the most perfect songs of all time.
