Bumping this up to a 9.  I just really love how her voice can project the most snarky of sentiments in a tone that makes it sound like she's compiling a shopping list.... (Sorry, but that's the best I can do right now. I mean it in the best way.)

Nice.  Needed a laugh today.  Thanks.  If anyone could check in here from The Great Beyond, it would be cool to hear from Mr. Drake.

On another tack: one of the highlights of RP is when arteests do check in.  Sigmon is/was another.  Would love to hear more from him.

Fontaine, keep up the good work.  Good stuff.

I even like the choice of colour on the type - it's a little hard to read, which adds to obscure factor. (I know I couldn't have resisted making it a bit darker.) All and all, I can't stop staring at it.
 
 
Curious to know about the pressure you where under for a different cover - if you're an indie artist on a small label, wouldn't you have a lot more say in this matter? And who's giving you shit? The label?
And what where the alternatives? Do you have any of them posted on your MySpace? (Hope I'm not being too inquisitive, but I'm a designer and art director, so...)

This is really enjoyable music!  Never had heard of Fontaine before, but I'll be buying this CD.  Something about that resonant guitar, slower beat, and sultry voice just mix perfectly - oh, and the lyrics are wonderfully, understatedly snarky:  "It's a long way home, but at least you're gone..."  Yowch. In a good way. {#Sunny}

ruth-ann and lynn, they wear them
cut-off britches and those
skinny little halters and they're
second cousins to me

man, i don't care i wanna
get between 'em with a
great big old hard-on like a

There's something about the bass line in the chorus that just grabs me — really diggin' it.

I hear strong echoes of Joan Armatrading here.  Dig it.

There's something haunting in this song that I can't quite identify. I suppose it's the familiarity of the regrets at the end of a relationship. And also the notion of "getting your fix" in this context.
