Definitely. Her 'Lucky Number' was one of the first 45s I bought (maybe THE first)

Signed to Stiff Records, I'm pretty sure. Her Stiff releases were all strong and she charted a few more times..I prefer "New Toy" (Written by another quintessential 80s artist, Thomas Dolby) to "Lucky Number", the one she is most known for.. |

I don’t know if I’d classify this as idiosyncratic, but I’ll give it to you. |

Thomas Dolby is in that video - the blond one in the chorus with the glasses. Dolby later married someone with hair as long as Lene Lovich's - actress Kathleen Beller, who had a tiny part in Godfather 2  Back to Lovich - I like her a lot. To the point, when 'Lucky Number' came out, I wore my very long hair in braids like hers. But I liked her music too, it didn't seem to fit any popular genre at the time either. A few years later someone who'd lived in Germany told me LL was in a ménage à trois with Nina Hagen and Hagen's then bloke, how true that was ... For some reason, that 'New Toy' vid made me think of Amanda Palmer/the Dresden Dolls. While I was watching some LL vids on youtube (I've decided I wouldn't now have much tolerance for LL's singing and music apart from Lucky Number if I heard them fresh now) and it prompted a vid where LL guested with them, which totally fits And back around to Dolby - I had a couple of his albums. A lot of his music as I recalls wears his cleverness on its sleeve. No bad thing really. I particularly liked: |

I saw these guys live at the Kabuki in San Francisco. Great stage show. They had these big geometic figures, very Tim Burton. They opened the show with their version or Ring of Fire, which I have always enjoyed. The song intro was much longer, live.
In fact, YouTube had some photos from the show.
