Musician Josie Cotton came to the attention of thousands of teenagers with her appearance in the 1983 comedy-drama, Valley Girl. She not only performed in the iconic prom scene, but had three of her songs used on the film's soundtrack. After 1995's Frightened by Nightingales, Cotton took a break from recording for over a decade, returning in 2006 with the album, Movie Disaster Music. She's released two more new LPs since then, including the collection of b-movie soundtrack cuts, Invasion of the B-Girls.The last few months have seen Josie Cotton not only releasing a lost album from 1986 -- Everything Is Oh Yeah, originally intended to be the follow-up to Cotton's sophomore LP, From the Hip -- but also, a brand new single, "Ukranian Cowboy." We spoke with Cotton about all of this and more by phone a couple weeks back. Tracklist:Josie Cotton, "Johnny Are You Queer?" (Convertible Music)Josie Cotton, "He Could Be The One" (Convertible Music
