Louise Lightner Post (born December 7, 1966) is an American musician. She is best known for being the vocalist and guitarist of alternative rock band Veruca Salt, which she co-founded with Nina Gordon in 1993.
Post was born in St. Louis, Missouri. Her parents got divorced when she was nine years old. She began playing the piano at age seven, and participated in several musicals in high school. At age 16, Post founded an R&B band with her brother Eric. She later joined a funk cover band, which played at proms, college dances and bars.
Post wrote her first song at age 16, inspired by Vanity 6. She performed a different song, also written by her, in a talent show, which she described as, "really, really bad, and I don't think I wrote another song until I was in college". She also stated: "I was desperate to express myself creatively and poetry filled that need, but songwriting was more satisfying, more gratifying and more fun".
After graduating from Clayton High School, she moved to New York City and attended Barnard College. There, she joined an a cappella singing group. Post began playing guitar in her sophomore year of college, and after graduating with a major in English, went back to St. Louis. She then moved to Chicago, Illinois, and was unsure of which career to follow. There, she joined a theatre company, and was inclined to either become an actress or a musician.

Ohio is the debut studio album by American rapper Stalley. The album was released on October 27, 2014, by Maybach Music Group and Atlantic Records. The album features guest appearances from Nipsey Hussle, Rick Ross, August Alsina, Ty Dolla Sign, Rashad and De La Soul. The album was supported by the singles "Always Into Something", "Jackin' Chevys" and "One More Shot".
In July 2012, Stalley announced he had begun recording his debut album, saying: "We're workin' on an album right now. I'm in the studio. I just got in there about a week ago, so it's a whole big process. Right now, I'm thinking maybe top of the year would be the album. I definitely just take [Rick Ross and Wale's] energy, and I definitely watch their energy and watch how they do things. I'm very observant of how they set up their albums and set up their singles and things like that, being that it's all new to me. That's great company to keep and great people to watch."
On August 22, 2014, he announced the album would be titled Ohio in a vlog, saying: "The sound of my current music is intelligent truck music. It’s a sound that’s built for the cars. But you can also enjoy it in your headphones, your computer or however you want to listen to it. Me, growing up, I rode around listening to music. It was kind of like the soundtrack my days or wherever I was going."
Ohio is a double studio album, their seventh overall, by Over the Rhine, released in 2003. The album was released as both a double CD and limited edition double vinyl LP set.
One additional song from these sessions, "Last Night On Earth Again" was released on the Discount Fireworks compilation, albeit in a re-recorded version.
