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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It took me over 2 hours to download it.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I have recently gotten into more "popular" music as of late, as you can see-- and I am wondering-- are there more women singing than I can think of, or were my college years (1991-1995) just a heyday for female singers. Because I listened almost exclusively to female singers/groups in college ranging from Hole to Edie Brickell to Tori Amos to Fiona Apple to the Indigo Girls, and even people I didn't quite care for, like Paula Cole and Alanis Morrisette. I could keep going with many more names.

I can only think of, currently, Greta from the Hush Sound, Katie Perry, Gwen Stefani (don't know if she is still popular), Ashlee Simpson and The Pussycat Dolls right now, but my scope of listening is rather small... and I only really like The Hush Sound. was there some sort of backlash and have women dissappeared, or am I missing a whole big group of people?

ETA: This post brought to you by nostalgiac youtubing of Tori Amos songs

Sophia, have you heard Bat For Lashes?

Because books.

Well, there's Pink and Avril Lavigne amd Kelly Clarkson, off the top of my head. A LOT of alt-country women out there (Lucinda Williams, Kim Richey, Shawn Colvin). There's also the new soul comeback, with Duffy, Adele, and Amy Winehouse.

There are a lot of other R&B women, too, like Beyonce.

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

Bah. Got a "Service temporarily unavailable" from Tom's link.

Thank you, thank you ! (I had forgotten about Pink, but most of the others are new to me!) I knew Buffistas would come through.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Rilo Kiley, definitely. And Feist. Neko Case if you think you might alt-country-ish stuff. Thea Gilmore is AWESOME. Um, who else? Martha Wainwright (Rufus' sister), Deb Talan, Goldfrapp, Regina Specktor, KT Tunstall. Recently, I've had Santogold's debut album on a constant loop.
