Sa sardon ISA GERMANO’S latest release, Geek a The Girl, joins Lou Reed’s Berlin and John Lennon’s debut solo or any- thing by Nirvana as among some of the most honest pop music examples of stark per- sonal investigation —- prod- ding at the psychic scabs if you will. oe Germano appears tonight at the -Town. Pump in Vancouver. Here _.are a few words from an interview ~~ earlier this week: Music Now: Was this project a form of personal therapy? Lisa:-“My music is pretty much ‘therapy in general. Writing about something normal just doesn’t usu- ally motivate me.” ’ Music Now: I understand you’ve been the victim, of a stalker -recently and the experience _ Shaped this record. Lisa: “This guy has been stalk- Valen Kino’ s ermano’s c sparks ing me on and off fer about 2% years. He saw me playing with John Mellencamp. I put out a first record and it had a PO box on it. I Started getting these letters about how God told him that we really had to make up and get back together. And he went looking for me.” . Music Now: What’s that Italian ’ folk tune that keeps on popping in and out in between some of the tracks on Geek The Girt all about? Is that comic relief? Lisa: “For me it’s comic relief and also — I'm Italian — it’s like ‘the little thing in my life that says, ‘OK this sucks but you gotta laugh and you gotta keep going. {t's kind of like, ‘On we go!" Music Now: The iast track seems to be somewhat hopeful. Was that your intention? Lisa: “To me it says. ‘OK, everything sucks but you have to keep dreaming.’ Even in that song the person isn’t doing well because she’s not dealing with herself.” RISTORANTE Serving Home Style Italian Cuisine Scrumptious pasta, fabulous veal, delicious chicken, fish & meat dishes.

Day for Night picks up where their last record, Fidly Completely, left off. Story-telling gems on that album, including the David Milgaard-inspired Wheat Kings and the ominous Locked in the Trunk of a Car, are repeated here, though more weighty themes (such as the inevitabilty of death, nauti- cal disaster) are explored.
