Does anyone remember Poe, that woman who was kind of a hit for 5 minutes in the mid-90's? She sang that "Angry Johnny" song?

Did anyone else notice the little Poe blurb on the back of House of Leaves? It says: "listen to the house. . . "HAUNTED" The new cd from Poe on Atlantic Records". I'd seen this a number of times before I really started thinking about how strange it is for a book like House of Leaves to have a cross-media product blurb on its back cover.

So then I realized that the text on the top of page 89 ("'pinch it', she said, which I did, lightly, until she also said 'pull it' which I also did, gently..."), which I'd thought had been recited in a Jewel song (that would've been even weirder) was actually recited in the beginning of a Poe song (Hey Pretty). Okay, so there's that.
