I've been reading a book called Grrrls: Viva Rock Divas, which is basically a collection of interviews with female bands/artists from the 1990s & their relationship with music. Included in the book is Courtney Love of Hole, Nina Gordon & Louise Post of Veruca Salt, Björk, Kim Gordon of ...
Ok, so it was earlier this month that I received a mix of grand proportions... a mix from a girl I swear is my long lost sister (if I had one) so we must have been in a past life (as she would say)!!Now - if you know anything about me - you know I really have to stew with an album to really give it its proper listens - then I can make my final determination. Sure I can hear an album & think - ...
I dated myself once again tonight(oh man that looks really bad in text! I MEAN I showed my age once again)....anyway, while looking for this video i just used seether in the search field...apparently there is a band called Seether...and judging by the number of videos, they seem to be pretty popular! Never heard of them at all...but after listening for like a minute to one song, i dont think I ...
I turned 12 years old in 1992, placing my prime pubescent years squarely in the pre-millenial alterna-rock wheelhouse. So now that it's apparently okay to get nostalgic about the 90's (thanks, VH-1) here's a tribute to a few girls with guitars who faciliated my sexual awakening in that grungy decade:D'Arcy Wretzky (Smashing Pumpkins)Justine Frischmann (Elastica)Nina Gordon (Veruca Salt)Miki Ber...
caution to all: be careful what you ask for...i got two but all i wanted was one.there, that's better? fishing in a yard (for you b, the flood before the flood)
Alright. just to start off on a good note. the kind of note where you say "ok, i am going to take this seriously and post at least 3 times a week... at least..."so i was just kind of shuffling songs around, and i came across this old one by Veruca Salt.now, i know some people love' em, some people don't, and i've gone back and forth a few times - but i can't help it - i love this song. it's not...

For once, someone from a cool band asked *me* to be *their* myspace friend. It's Veruca Salt, they're touring (post-Nina) and I'm feeling it. Blonde or brunette, I've always preferred Louise.Got me a pair of tickets to their Cafe Du Nord show on Oct. 23. Maybe see them in your town?And here's someone's arm. I'm too chicken to get a tattoo. If I did, it would probably be of our schnauzer.
Next time your 14 year old niece attempts to persuade you that today's female rockers currently polluting the airwaves are superior to the ones you may have grown up listening to, show them this clip. If that isn't nine shades of awesome rock, I'll chop my forefinger and pinky off so I can never make the devil horns again. And Louise Post - oh, my. No lip synching, no backing track - just four ...
