Attending art gallery openings is proving that there is such a thing as a free lunch. Look bored and hit the free booze and tidbits. NYC rocker Jana Peri has written a tongue-in-cheek song about a girl who spends her days like that. Gallery Whore is part Blondie and part The Clash, undisputed icons of rock cool.

In a little over three minutes she paints a musical picture of the art world, zooming in on the hangers-on who are trying to fit in with the inner-circle, even it that means that the protagonist has to deal with ennui and innuendo. It's all described in very casual and matter-of-fact lyrics, with bass (Jacob Callis) and drums and percussion (Rob Holm) up front. Peri plays guitar, with a few choice notes added by guitarist Peter Kohl, who co-produced the song. Patti Smith should seriously consider covering this.
Gallery Whore is a self-released digital single. Buy it from CD Baby.
