Fu*k Me: Christina Aguilera

Fu*k You: Kathleen Hanna (Bikini Kill, Le Tigre)

I once heard Chrissie Hynde say something in an interview that went a little like this:

"In rock music, as a woman artist...   it's not all about fu*k me...   it's all about fu*k you!"


I found this comment to be quite poignant and have had many discussions with friends regarding it. We have divided woman musicians into two distinct camps...   the fu*k me's...   and the fu*k you's. Obviously, Chrissie Hynde is in the fu*k you camp. A "musician" (and I use the term loosely) in the fu*k me camp would be someone like Britney Spears...  you know, one of those packaged singers put together by the industry. So, let's make a list here...  I will start:


Fu*k Me: Debbie Harry (Blondie)

Fu*k You: Rachel Nagy (Detroit Cobras)




I know Debbie Harry was not a packaged product...   and I love her band...   but I had a HUGE crush on her back in high school!

Oh YESSS!! I love them too!! Great stuff! :D

I discovered this cool band a few years ago and simply LOVE them...   I can't stop listening to their records. I think Rachel Nagy has a smokin' hot, super sexy voice! Who else digs this band?

Does anyone have suggestions for a good garage punk book?

Here's a Kinks video from the Midnight Special (1974)... this rocks! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_BGU4RdZGE

I'm Not Like Everybody Else pretty much sums up my entire life.

Everything from "You Really Got Me" to Arthur is world-beatin'.

Well respected Man, Shangrilla,

SOMETHING ELSE??

2720 Cherokee - never been there. I might be able to swing that. Thanks for the heads up, Ryan. Keep me in mind if there are other regional fests in the future that you're debating about. With a little forethought, I can get involved. This one snuck up on me since I was entangled with the Shanks tour/Gonerfest.

Hey Dave, KK/Shrines along w/ Gentlemen Jesse will be playing St. Louis Sunday night. Maybe you can catch them then?

I know several people who have lived in Lawrence and testify to it's coolness. I'd love to go to this but can't due to circumstances. I missed seeing the Lamps and Thee Oh Sees at Goner and would like to catch Tyvek and KK & the Shrines. I got the fever but I'm quarantined.

Fantastic film. Fantastic band.

Thanks for posting, it's really good. Anyone in a band should watch this, they do it for the music. That's why I love garage so much, it sounds real.

I'm going to see the Fleshtones at the 31st Street Pub here in Pittsburgh next month on the 22nd, and they will share the bill with the Cynics. They did this once before in March 2002, and it was the best night I ever had at the Pub.

The Fleshtones are coming to St. Louis in November for the Beat 'n' Soul fest. Really looking forward to this as it's been something like 20 years since they were last here. Come on down!

We saw The Fleshtones a coupla weeks ago for the first time in many years. They have NOT slowed down at all, in fact the show we saw recently was the WILDEST we've ever seen them!!!! If you ever get a chance to see The Fleshtones, DO NOT miss them!! Greatest live band I've ever seen!!!!! And some of the nicest people you'll ever meet!

The Rolling Stones......icons of the rock & roll world as we know it...hey thanks for all the cool toons!!!!

I liked the early Stones. My favorite is probably, "Get Off of My Cloud" "Gimme Shelter" and "Can't You Hear Me Knockin'" Pretty good too, tho, I have never really been a Stones Fan or even The Who for that matter. Played out.

Just to digress a little I've been told by a member of Derek's Accent that their music style was heavily based on The Who. Makes sense when you think about it!
