...sole product of Lord’s contract with The Work Group was the 1998 Got No Shadow, which she recorded with various session musicians. The album features guest appearances by several heavyweights, including Roger McGuinn of the Byrds and Jon Brion, a versatile Los Angeles musician who has produced albums for Aimee Mann, Fiona Apple and Rufus Wainwright. Lord’s old friends Colvin and Smith contributed as well. Though the album received a solid three-and-a-half stars from Rolling Stone and many other kudos, Lord says she feels it lacks emotion and energy...
...janitors’ contract is only the beginning of a much stronger student-labor movement on campus. PSLM has not come out of these negotiations placated, but instead is ready to expand its vision and fight even harder for a more just campus...

Fortunately PSLM is taking its role as the righteously indignant third wheel in this negotiation process seriously, with fiercely-worded statements about the inadequate nature of the new contract and the unresponsiveness of the administration to the janitors’ needs. My concerns are alleviated, and I can only hope that PSLM members will redouble their efforts over the next few months, or at least until their Goldman internships begin in June...
