CAN'T  Vs The World  CD   (RRRecords)   9.98
Vs The World IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE FOR ORDER

Another new (well, not really new, originally released in 2002) full disc of lush mangled sweetness from artist/synth torturer Jessica Rylan, which precedes the harrowing bedroom vibes of the Final Performace CD-R we listed a while back. We totally dug that disc, and this one is even radder, a distillation of middle school angst and broken hearts through brutally remixed versions of nostalgiac roller-rink pop trash like "Too Shy", "Songbird", Kenny G jazz slop, and Christopher Cross, all blasted to smithereens by overmodulated distortion, the original hook napalmed by tons of skkrrch and beaten to death by rumbling, earth shuddering bass grooves. The way that these chunks of adolescent chaos have been reformatted as volcanic spew are exactly why we love Jessica Rylan's sounds so much...there's something extremely (sometimes painfullly) personal and thoughtful in her songs and music that connects with us, instead of simply immolating us in noise destruction. That said, these remixes ARE heavy duty, and speakers will be slain at top volume. Packaged in a plastic slipsleeve with color insert/cover and a folded up note of pubescent longing that really drove this one home.
