...stores in late January, will feature a greater proportion of the folksy-yet-punky original material that has become a fixture at the subway stations where she plays. After nine years of playing covers of other indie bands in prime commuter locations across Boston, the city's underground songstress is thrilled that she's finally getting the financial backup to explore her creativity in the studio.

Squeaky Claudine Longet, a vanilla songstress of the '60s and '70s, shot her boyfriend, a killing that she called accidental and a jury called criminally negligent homicide.
