Among her "hits" were <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQdp68zsK4I">Losing You</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRpcwACAFsw">Baby Blues</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqsRFKe3YMA">Get Down Goblin</a> and the <strong>must-see</strong> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcAVheZAxDU">Rock-'n'-Roll Santa</a> (which has been <a href="http://podcast.xs4all.nl/upload/werksman-01_rock_n_roll_santa.mp3">covered</a> by <a href="http://www.yolatengo.com/">Yo La Tengo</a>). Her music videos were so earnest and popular for their camp value that <a href="http://www.jammedonline.com/janterri.html">Marilyn Manson</a> eventually enlisted her to sing at a birthday party of his and the <a href="http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/index.jhtml?videoId=119675&title=jan-terri-video-vanguard">Daily Show</a> invited her on. However, she hasn't really been heard from since. Has Jan Terri given up her dream? </param></param></embed></object> tag:metafilter.com,2007:site.67517 Mon, 17 Dec 2007 13:26:30 -0800 janterri outsidermusic Lillitatiana
