I figured out my problem with Indie

obiwankobe · Post by **obiwankobe** » Fri May 12, 2006 2:55 pm

Below is Indie's yes.com top 100

I like bands that have female singers, Indie only has 1 female fronted band that I can tell in the top 20 (Yeah Yeah Yeahs). Then they have The Dresden Dolls @ 23 & Morningwood at 26 (Morningwood is horrible by the way, all they have going for them is a catchy name) Then they have another female fronted band at #29 The Sounds, then at #30, Death Cab for Cutie. They do have 4 in a row from 39 to 43. Then at 46 they have Ladytron which should be higher. And don't go and say there aren't any good female fronted bands or singers out there. That's not true.

Tom...to be super effective with your lists...you need a few WONDEROUS and FANTABULOUS (s) mixed in with some ass kissing of the dee jays....just a helpful hint....

shloemoe · Post by **shloemoe** » Fri May 12, 2006 2:59 pm

I like that girls voice from "Giant Drag"....didn't see mention....
...shloemoe's $.02.

obiwankobe · Post by **obiwankobe** » Fri May 12, 2006 3:00 pm

Indie doesn't think they are worthy of a Top 100 slot, I didn't see The Like in there either

shloemoe · Post by **shloemoe** » Fri May 12, 2006 3:00 pm

Ah... if only Mich had balls huh Gidge?

gidgetgoestohell · Post by **gidgetgoestohell** » Fri May 12, 2006 3:01 pm

Well Shloe....to be honest....I'd rather pop her in the mouth...I find that part of her anatomy much more offensive......

jr · Post by jr » Fri May 12, 2006 3:04 pm

LISTS....
i thought i had them on ignore mode...
damn...
here is one for you:

fabulous cheese
ever so effective tampons
perfectly formed eggs
guacamole doritos that are to die for
fresca (now if that aint punk i dont know what is?!)
devastatingly delicious berry dr pepper
wonderous milk

and did i mention that i think mr shovel is the BEST damn INDIE man on the PLANET!!!

obiwankobe · Post by **obiwankobe** » Fri May 12, 2006 3:06 pm

the point is Indie just plays music sung by males, they need to play the chicks more, much more

gidgetgoestohell · Post by **gidgetgoestohell** » Fri May 12, 2006 3:08 pm

Don't forget red shoes that show your toes, Jilly....and putting the top down on your HARD top VW (they don't do that yet)....can't forget that fantabulous invention....

jr · Post by jr » Fri May 12, 2006 3:08 pm

"fresca (now if that aint punk i dont know what is?!) "

that was President Johnsons favorite drink...he had a machine installed
in the whitehouse to dispense it.....can that be ultra punk in light of this?

Im mean Im just saying.....Oh yeah Duh I've forgotten what fresca
even tastes like so....what do I know(that's usefull)that was my $.04

I'll pass on the offer. I mean they could play Metric, Broken Social Scene, Bitter:Sweet, Raveonettes, Rilo Kiley, Neko Case, and on and on

jr · Post by jr » Fri May 12, 2006 3:16 pm

when 10 work so well...

gidgetgoestohell · Post by **gidgetgoestohell** » Fri May 12, 2006 3:17 pm

Heaven forefend....

obiwankobe · Post by **obiwankobe** » Fri May 12, 2006 3:18 pm

forgot about them thanks for the reminder. I heard them playing that at a Dodger game before Saenz came up. "walking with a ghost", "out of my mind", "out of my mind"

don't forget to cruise over tohttp://www.teganandsara.com/index.php
and pre-order your DVD that's coming out this summer!!!

gidgetgoestohell · Post by **gidgetgoestohell** » Fri May 12, 2006 3:21 pm

LOL.....ack....this time you can blame me.....LOL

RobertKP · Post by **RobertKP** » Fri May 12, 2006 4:16 pm

Yeah, thanks Gidge. Tom hadn't mentioned Tegan & Sara for at least a month.

But I agree with him. Indie needs to play more chick artists. They play at least 3 times as many guys or guy-fronted bands. At home, I probably listen to male & female artists about even. Of course, aside from a few exceptions, the guy bands rock harder than the chick bands. I like to hear the ladies sing purty.

gidgetgoestohell · Post by **gidgetgoestohell** » Fri May 12, 2006 5:19 pm

My three favorite women singers of all time:

1. Alison Moyet

2. Billy Holiday

3. Janis Joplin

Polyene Styrine...Deborah Harry.....Chrissie Hynde......

shloemoe · Post by **shloemoe** » Fri May 12, 2006 5:38 pm

shloemoe · Post by **shloemoe** » Fri May 12, 2006 6:24 pm

Oh man!!!...I left out Natalie Merchant and Linda Ronstadt(stupid!...stupid!)

The teen pop girls do all sound the same. I cant tell the difference...but
I dont really listen to them.

gidgetgoestohell · Post by **gidgetgoestohell** » Fri May 12, 2006 9:38 pm

There was just something in the air today that told me to make a list, Shloe.....I see that it was catching.....

RobertKP · Post by **RobertKP** » Sat May 13, 2006 9:11 am

There's so many and the order of preference changes constantly so I'll just list them alphabetically - Alison Krauss, Amy Lee (Evanescence), Billie Holiday, Bonnie Raitt, Casandra Wilson, Chrissie Hynde, Debbie Harry, Ella Fitzgerald, Grace Slick, Janis Ian, Jenny Lewis (Rilo Kiley), Kimberlina (Kimberly Trip), Loreena McKennitt, Lucy Kaplansky, Patsy Cline, Siouxsie Sioux, Stevie Nicks & Teresa James + a brand new favorite from Myspace, Carolyn Currie. I know, lotsa blues & folk but like I said - I like the ladies to sing purty to me.

gidgetgoestohell · Post by **gidgetgoestohell** » Sat May 13, 2006 9:12 am

Ooo Oooo Ooooo....Etta James too....

shloemoe · Post by **shloemoe** » Sat May 13, 2006 12:39 pm

Dang I left out...

Bonnie Raitt
Grace Slick
Patsy Cline
...I frigin hate Stevie Nicks(not with mac though)I think that
South Park episode were she was undistingishable from a
billy goat is so funny....and true

...from my list...I feel more complete...thanx

LATaurus · Post by **LATaurus** » Sat May 13, 2006 12:40 pm

gidgetgoestohell · Post by **gidgetgoestohell** » Sat May 13, 2006 1:20 pm

Sid and Nancy.....

shloemoe · Post by **shloemoe** » Sat May 13, 2006 1:23 pm

of course...I should've known.

gidgetgoestohell · Post by **gidgetgoestohell** » Sat May 13, 2006 1:26 pm

Some people hate the movie....I love it.....it's a MOVIE....not a documentary....and I think that Gary Oldman did a great job...

Ever read the book, And I Don't Want to Live this Life, by Nancy Spungons's mother...Debbie? It was a wonderful glimpse into the man that lived behind the Sid mask.....

shloemoe · Post by **shloemoe** » Sat May 13, 2006 1:39 pm

I always liked his(Sid) version of "my way"....seems like he personified
the whole punk thing to me....more so than say...oh god...dare I say
it....I haven't spewed my beliefs on this since the old JJB blog days
....than say....let's just say "another sex pistol" who sells Toyotas
.....AND has an EXCELLANT! radio show.....anyway enough blowing
up icons today.

LATaurus · Post by **LATaurus** » Sat May 13, 2006 1:43 pm

I think that Sid is what we all think of...first off...out of the gate...when thinking of punk...he was and is the proto type for all that has come since...IMHO....no slight to the radeeeio dj in question....

shloemoe · Post by **shloemoe** » Sat May 13, 2006 3:27 pm

That's funny!.....that's why the gods of punk ordained an early demise for
Sid...and I dont mean to be disrespectful of Mr. Jones(I've learned alot
from him and his learned life)in the end he will leave a more valuable
legacy than Sid...for sure....but still I remember the days of youth when
death could not be proud....there was nothing we were afraid of....
now We(I at least)gotta give up drugs,breaking the law,generally being
insane(oh the fun!)....(oh the pain though too)what am I trying to say
(shloemoe stutters like a spaz and says)"why dont ya all fade away,
and dont try to dig what we all say"

...oh god have ya seen the time life info-mercials with rodger daltry
selling cd's?

Hope I die before I get old....I can't say that anymore........

Hell yeah, Etta James. Seen her twice. Awesome. Seen Tracy Chapman & Rosanne Cash a couple times too so I guess I better add them too. OK, I'm done.

Etta's playing the Doheny Blues festival this year - May 20, and BB King is the headliner on the 21'st. That's my neck of the woods - a $10 cab ride!
