Wouldn't that be the Soft White Underbiters?
That's beautiful. Or taken literally, incredibly gross.

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.

Ms. Aguilera's work is feminist?
It's very feminist, in a Madonna sort of way, compared to a lot of other music for 13-year-old girls. I personally don't think she's saying anything Gloria Steinem & co. didn't say 35 years ago, but she bugs me to begin with. (Xtina, not the Ms-istas.)
I think that the writer has a point (which is, in fact, a point I made to a overly dismissive metalhead music critic the other day), but I think rockism is built on class issues
Absolutely. Class and race, which are very intertwined in America.

Bands don't technically pay to play any more in Los Angeles. There are a few clubs that make bands sell tickets ahead of time and then they have to pay for anything they don't sell.
But the main system I've seen is that you have to guarantee x number of people will show up for your band (they ask each person at the door which band they are there to see). If you don't meet the agreed upon figure, you don't have to pay, but it will probably be your last show at that club.

Shit. What's Seattle, then?
So 90s.
Filled with hipsters who will go see anything they can call "ironic" while drinking?

dropping in again with another gem gleaned from that nifty little radio station I found and which I in my ignorance need identified. The station is KOHS, by the way, which I think is Orem High School. About three miles from my office, which explains the clarity of signal.
Anyway, the song. I didn't get all the words of the chorus, but the subject is a man being shipped off to Botany Bay in a prison ship and saying good-bye to his pregnant wife/girlfriend Mary and telling her to raise their kid to remember him. I think. My ears don't always follow lyrics that well. There's a bridge with bagpipe and electric guitar that was gorgeous. Here's what I've got of the chorus: "It's so lonely around the (something) of (something)."
Between this station and you guys I may start listening to stuff other than opera.
Well, no. (Though "Los Angeles Is Burning" was a cool song)

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I think it's an old celtic folk song called "Fields of Athenry". Probably oft covered:
t edit (I just googled "Botany Bay" "it's so lonely")

"Fields of Athenry"
Yes, that what he was saying! Damn, a folk song. Which means finding out which band that was is going to be tricky. The DJ runs down a list of stuff he's about to play, and I don't take notes because 90% is unintelligible guys and distorted guitars. OK, time to search for bands.
Thanks, folks!

Ann, that's a ferret.
Connie, does the station's Website have an "e-mail the DJs" option?

I still don't think I've ever heard an explanation as to why the R&R Hall of Fame is in Ohio. I mean ... Ohio??
Because we are "the heart of it all." Literally, it seems, because the Rock Hall website says that Cleveland is within 500 miles of 43% of the US population. Which I didn't know. Educational.
Plus it's lovely, right on Lake Erie. Niceness.
