I never approached re-doing these songs thinking "I can do better than this" (Iggy? forget about it!!). There are many others that help make up that spread (I experience a lot of life keyed to certain kinds of music or songs, big surprise) and these are just a few of my faves. Those songs are some of the songs that have been an important part of the extensive soundtrack for my strange life. Jared: A "virtual top ten"? How do you choose? I'll try to explain. IMWT: How did you come up with the track list - the songs to cover - on Covergirl ? Is it a virtual top-ten of your favorite songs, songs you thought you could do better, or ones you've always been curious as to how they would sound if done differently? Jared: It's a possible soundtrack of 21st century late night samba dances on the beach with a cold martini (very dry) and your favorite beautiful woman (the one with that light in her eyes) pressed cheek-to-cheek close to you, swaying in the breezes and then balling in the warm night, the waves crashing. IMWT: Was there a theme or an idea behind your solo album, Covergirl, besides re-creating your favorite songs? Back in the music biz? It's all Martin Atkins' fault. I wasn't sure at that time if I was going to get back into music or not but Invisible were willing to back my idea for Covergirl regardless, something I will always thank them for. I then talked to the Invisible cats about recording a new album and they were game. Martin Atkins had asked me, previously, to join Pigface on a couple of tours, which I did and enjoyed. I took it under advisement and split to London. Suffice it to say that it was suggested that "I take an extended vacation before I take a permanent one," and that seemed like sound reasoning to me. Leaving Wall Street is another matter, and not one I'm going to go into at great length. I left the music business because I had had it up to the top with the industry aspect of it all and wasn't willing to stomach it any more. And, yes, I made good money while I was there, but that's all over now (baby blue). Jared: Wall Street was a gas and I enjoyed it a great deal. IMWT: After a few years on Wall Street, making what I assume is pretty good money, what made you want to get back into the world of music? "Talking" via modern technology, I interviewed Jared via e-mail as we discussed Covergirl as well as Chemlab's re-formation. Iggy Pop, The Stooges, Frank Sinatra, and even Chemlab got a make over. With the recent release of Covergirl, Jared Louche expanded his musical boundaries by re-doing songs by some of his favorite artists. Jared Louche, frontman for the machine rock outfit Chemlab, is back from his musical hiatus and ready to rock (and swing) once again.
