dumblemopSome music musings because I don't want to work:
Sleater-Kinney. Saw the music video for "Jumpers" on LOGO, thought it kicked ass. The video is definitely worth it, and the song is great. The rest of the album...I don't like it quite so much. "Jumpers" has a nice contrast of melody, beat, angry guitars, and a little bit of angry shouting. The rest of the album is pretty much angry shouting. If you like girls who can play the drums and guitar pretty damn well but do a lot of angry shouting, get The Woods. If you're not so much about the angry shouting, get "Jumpers."
The Like. Saw the music video for "What I Say and What I Mean" on LOGO, thought it kicked ass. I was a little bit cautious about checking their album out after my run-in with S-K, but I like the whole thing. Can't find out anything about the band because their website is way trippy...but they is pretty...and can they ever play. I told Alex that I liked The Like and described them as "three women on guitar and drums..and keyboard I think? pretty music and pretty musicians. :)" and he implied that I liked them only because they're pretty. It's not true!
That's it for now because I have to go eat food at the picnic!
And hey: me, the drag show, Mandy Goes to Med School...what do you think? It'll require whiteface, a man's hat and coat, and a skirt, of the things that I don't have. It'll totally break character for me but I think I can find it in me.
