   .. About This Release .......................................
   :                                                           :
   :  When it comes to value for the money, Songs for Girls    :
   :  to Sing has to rank up there as one of the best          :
   :  collections around. Not only is it a demonstration of    :
   :  the quartet's productivity ù being the second            :
   :  compilation of singles (from 1994 to 1996) the band had  :
   :  released thus far ù but it's jam-packed to a full CD's   :
   :  length with 36 songs! (The final four are unlisted       :
   :  bonus tracks from a live show, making the collection     :
   :  even more of a treat.) Perhaps understandably, a number  :
   :  of songs on Songs for Girls to Sing are barely           :
   :  fragments, but as a whole it still ranks up there with   :
   :  collections like the Buzzcocks' Singles Going Steady     :
   :  and Pansy Division's Pile-Up as demonstrations of        :
   :  guitar pop excellence. Certainly the Cat's Miaow isn't   :
   :  anywhere near as punkish or loud as either of those two  :
   :  acts, though, sticking to a softly charming approach,    :
   :  with gentle reverb and echo giving everything a hint of  :
   :  a shoegazer influence. A ready comparison would be       :
   :  fellow countrymen the Cannanes, whose David Nichols      :
   :  plays on "Do You Think It'll Snow Tonight?," but the     :
   :  quartet follows its own inspirations instead of simply   :
   :  copying. The range of covers assayed is a good sign in   :
   :  and of itself ù Maxine Nightingale's "Right Back Where   :
   :  We Started From," Patsy Cline's "I Fall to Pieces," and  :
   :  Spiritualized's "Let It Flow" are just three of the      :
   :  choices, plus selections ranging from Phil Spector to    :
   :  St. Etienne. Still, the originals predominate, counting  :
   :  some inspired posthumous "collaborations" with F. Scott  :
   :  Fitzgerald and Chris Bell. Thorough liner notes from     :
   :  Bart make for the icing on the cake, detailing where     :
   :  every song originally turned up, along with a few fun    :
   :  stories along the way. There's the fact that the "This   :
   :  Is All I Ever Wanted" single is "my mum's favorite       :
   :  record," while another incident is recounted in which    :
   :  the group did a launch party for a release "but forgot   :
   :  to give any away." ù Ned Raggett (AMG)                   :
