Her stuttering, shambling drumwork with these two bands is among the most recognizable drum sounds in punk history, influencing many a later musician.
The Tower Records down the street didn't have it in stock, she explained, and she really wanted a copy "because I used to play in the band." This was not bragging, Jeremy explained later: if anything, she had only a faint clue as to how influential her two former bands had become.
She did not know about Kurt Cobain's infatuation with the Raincoats' records or the CD reissues; she did not know that the Raincoats had reunited, or about the live show they played in Cambridge last spring.
