Caroline Rose Doesn’t Care About Your Viper Room Glory Days on New Song ‘Hello Again, Jim’
Singer-songwriter Caroline Rose delivers a bratty send-up of toxic music industry dudes on “Hello Again, Jim” from their upcoming album, Gentling the Horse at the Walt Whitman Mall , out Oct. 23 via SUCK Records.
With its fuzz-blasted lead riff and piston-pumping drums, “Hello Again, Jim” runs on snark and defiance as Rose mocks how a guy’s 1990s “glory days” doing lines in the Viper Room bathroom has evolved into lame Hermés baseball caps and expensive cars with vanity plates. “I ain’t apologizing,” they sing on the hook, “You do not mean a thing to me / Do you think me a simp? / I carve my turkey thick not thin.”
“You know Jim,” Rose quipped in a statement. “The most ‘chill’ guy in the room but also dates 22-year-olds and drives a Porsche. Very calm demeanor brought to you by his wealth and power. Loves to appear alternative. Unfortunately there are about 9000 Jims in the music industry.”
