Answers to questions you really didn't ask about Susanna Hoffs
1) Yes, Leonard Nemoy is in a Bangles video from their very first album:
2) Susanna Hoffs, according to the Dloomis494's comments on YouTube, "...is the hottest jewish babe in rock", at least when covering "Feel Like Making Love" in her jazzercise attire:
3) Not too long ago, Susanna teamed up with a very corpulent Matthew Sweet to record a record of mainly 60's covers, which was (unsurprisingly) very good. Neil Young, Stone Ponys, Mamas and Papas, Love, Fairport Convention and more. Acoustic versions are out there too, which are just as good:
4) Aside from appearing with Matthew Sweet (and Mike Meyers) in Austin Powers in the "band" Ming Tea, Susanna was also in another supergroup of sorts called Rainy Day. Featuring members of The Three O'Clock, Rain Parade, Opal/Mazzy Star, and everyone in Dream Syndicate, it was part of the very small but awesome movement in the mid-80's called the "paisley underground". Mainly the sound was a 60's inspired jangle pop. Rainy Day did a one-off for Rough Trade with covers of songs by Bob Dylan, Beach Boys, Big Star, The Who, Velvet Underground, and others. Quite a good release really.
5) At like 50 years old, Susanna looks and sounds better than ever. I don't know why this is news, but I find it comforting in some way that someone who had some of the worst hairstyles and clothing in music history, and some of the cheesiest songs, is now pretty attractive, sings beautifully, and seems to have really good musical taste, at least in the choices of songs she's doing lately. Am I the only one confused by this?
6) Yes, YouTube is stealing my life.
