Susanna Hoffs' album 'Someday'#1

"Susanna Hoffs's affinity for the music of the '60s has informed her work with the Bangles, her "Sid n Susie" collaborations with Matthew Sweet, and her sporadic solo career, but she's never recorded as note-perfect an homage to the lush pop of that era as she has on Someday. Hoffs is a classicist at heart, and, nearly 30 years into her career, she's never sounded as natural and at ease as she does here. That's not to say that Someday is as essential a pop album as the Bangles' All Over the Place or Different Light, or that it's as refined as Hoffs's slept-on self-titled album from 1996, but the sincerity and warmth of the project make up for its few lapses in songwriting quality."

"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

I find it very hard not to imitate Susanna's side eye glances everytime I listen to WALK LIKE AN EGYPTIAN.

I do it when I hear any song she sings lead on. I just did it right now.

I saw The Bangles in concert back in 2008. Those ladies are hard rockers. Seriously. One of the best concerts I've ever attended.

(Surprisingly, my favorite concert ever may have been Tony Danza, but that's a story for another day.)

I starred in a short film called Magnetic Personality. Check it out!

Wow, I'm so surprised (and happy) that there are other people on here who like Susana Hoffs.

Her album "When You're A Boy" was one of the first non-show cds I ever had. I got it as a present with my first discman.

I remember she had a song on a compilation cd that benefited animal rights. I loved that song, but can not for the life of me recall what the album was called.

It had a picture of a dog's face (a dalmatian?) up close like it was about to lick the camera. Anyone remember that?

tazber, Susanna was one of my many goddesses as a teen. She will always own a piece of my heart. Definitely looking forward to the new disc.

Susanna's famous "side-eye glance". Gets me every time!

With that wisp of hair that is caught in her eyelash.

One of those unplanned images that becomes indelible.

I love her music. I loved her on the Sid 'n Susie albums, preferably her rendition of "Maggie May".

I don't WANT to live in what they call "a certain way." In the first place I'd be no good at it and besides that I don't want to be identified with any one class of people. I want to live every whichway, among all kinds---and know them---and understand them---and love them---THAT's what I want! - Philip Barry (Holiday)
