Tonight and the Rest of My Life is the debut album from Veruca Salt co-founder, Nina Gordon.

The original Tonight and the Rest of My Life track list on Outpost Records was: "Black and Blonde" was removed from the album because Gordon felt it was a mean song about someone she didn't want to be mean to anymore.

A new recording of this song with revised lyrics was included on Ghost Notes, the 2015 album by the reunited Gordon/Post/Lack/Shapiro lineup of Veruca Salt.

When Outpost Records was in the initial stages of promoting the album (and Gordon), they stated that the first single would be "Horses in the City."

After Gordon moved to Warner Bros. Records, promo singles were circulated for the song "Now I Can Die" the March before the album's June 27 release date.
