No Rock And Roll Fun

OH... WE'D FORGOTTEN ABOUT HER: The Avril Lavigne with a piano that is Vanessa Carlton is about to release a second album.



The new one, Harmonium, has an added joy; she's dating Stephen Jenkins of Third Eye Blind and he's had lots and lots of input into the recording. Yes, thought that would entice you.



Not that it's not really Vanessa's album, of course:

"I really learned just how important it is to follow your instincts and stay on your own path and kind of not submit to the forces around you that are constantly--without meaning to--trying to move you into a more mediocre direction."

It actually scares us, deep down, that there might have been a direction from the first album that was any more mediocre.
