Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

(A tangent about music scenes. I posted this in my LJ, but I'm curious as to what you people think about it.)
While talking about music and music scenes last night with Pete, I realized that one of the reasons I preferred (and still prefer) the hair metal scene to the grunge scene is that the hair metal guys were completely up-front about their sexism and the misogyny that was rampant in that scene. The grunge guys, in my experience, acted like they were sensitive feminist types, but that was a complete facade. Any girl the grunge guys were interested in who didn't reciprocate that interest? A bitch, a whore, a slut. Now, I didn't hang out with the Olympia grunge scene much, so maybe things were different there. But in Seattle and the northern suburbs? That's how things were. Of course, I actually preferred hanging out with the speed metal guys, because there were at least some glimmerings of intelligence there. They had to read, because how else were they going to get H.P. Lovecraft references for their lyrics?

Weren't there any options that didn't include regrettable sexism? Maybe you should've been an indie-pop girl.

Definitely true! I love the aesthetics of indie. I mean, where else is someone like Kim Deal considered a friggin' goddess? And believe that! She totally is!

Plus the stylish rock star glamour of Sleater-Kinney. Those gals were always well dressed with cool haircuts.
Actually I was looking at recent pictures of Dean and Britta (Galaxie 500, Luna) and was thinking, "I don't remember them being this glamorous."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

True that, but I was making kind of the opposite point about Kim Deal. She is messy, totally not glamorous, but she is the real deal (ha!) in terms of talent and the cool factor. The stuff that should matter is what usually does matter in indie music, which is one reason I love it.
