but Kim Deal is still God.
Sorry, in my pantheon that position is held by David Bowie. With Peter Murphy as his prophet.

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.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
The best thing about seeing My Chemical Romance live is realizing that Gerard Way really is just that dorky and campy and ridiculous and fantastic in real life. Between the high jumps and the scarves and pantomiming the words so the audience could sing along... well, as Fay would say, bless! I adore him, and them, and they put on an incredible show.

He is! He is! He's a dorktastic drama geek turned rockstar, and I love him for it.

Jilli, I'm an avid grunge fan (well, I'm young). And I'd really, really, really like to read more about the sexist side of it (you'd think that I'd cover it with my undying admiration and ability to talk about The Afghan Whigs by now...).
Please, tell more? I was always fascinated by the reciprocal relationships of music and society.

(So sorry, I didn't realize I was in the music thread when I asked about JZ's job! Didn't mean to go off track. Sorry! But still, YAY!)

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I KNOW, RIGHT??? Love.
the bits I saw of the local indie-pop scene were just as bad in terms of regrettable sexism as the grunge scene.
The MSP indie-pop scene wasn't much better (AK is just totally lacking in same). At least with grunge, I didn't have to deal with my body image issues, whereas the indie girls all seemed waif-like and ethereal.
YAY JZ!!!

Aw, that makes me miss Tina. I like 'em ok, but she loved the hell out of them. And Jenny Lewis is crazy-hot.
