Driving back to VA from NC two weeks ago I heard a song on the radio that I had completely forgotten about: Poe's "Angry Johnny". A single from her 1995 LP "Hello", I remember it receiving a lot of airplay at the time. Wikipedia says she had moderate success with other singles, but I don't remember them. Wikipedia also says that character of "Johnny" is from the book "House of Leaves", which wasn't published until 2000. I wondered how this was possible, but further exploration revealed that the book's author, Mark Z. Danielewski is the brother of Poe (aka Anne Danielewski).
I haven't listened to the entire LP, but this single is an enjoyable mid-90s time capsule.
Poe - "Angry Johnny".
