Nerve’s Top 40 Sexiest Frontwomen.

Posted on by

Okay, so I’m sat here reading Nerve’s Top 40 Sexiest Frontwomen. I choked on my Orange Squash (yes, it’s Saturday night and I’m home alone drinking Orange Squash..whatever! I’ve got a degree to sort of complete..sort of)

Anyway, this list. I’ll say it’s awful just because I don’t agree with it. Why? BECAUSE THERE IS NO MENTION OF BRODY DALLE OR EMILY HAINES OR KATIE SKETCH OR BEYONCE(I know Beyonce isn’t rock, but she is sexy!). It’s annoyed me. And you know what else? Alison Mosshart was 40 and Beth Ditto was 39. FECK OFF!!! THEY SHOULD BE IN THE TOP 5! Seriously.

This is exactly why I hate lists. Because they are oh so typical and SHITE!

Read the list. Hopefully you’ll see why I’m a bit pissed at it. I’m not saying it’s totally wank, I mean a lot of the women in it do deserve to be in there like Patti Smith, Joan Jett..but still, you know. Alison Mosshart is WAY sexier than most of them mentioned. She should be at Number 1..not 40!! I may just make my own list…should I????!!!

Count Five.

If it wasn’t for Lester Bangs, I wouldn’t know about one of the greatest bands ever, Count Five. One of his books is called Psychotic Reactions and Carburetor Dung. First chapter is about Count Five. I’ve had his books for a few years now, but only recently checked out Count five.

I’ve been spending a lot of time listening to them, and not completing my uni work 🙂

I found a clip on YouTube of Psychotic Reactions, enjoy! x

Metric.

In about…half an hour, I’ll be having a phone interview with Emily and James from Metric. Am I nervous? Hell yes. But I’m also stupidly excited.

Anyway, what I wanted to share was this clip I just found on YouTube (it was added a few hours!). Now, my favourite track off the new album is Front Row..closely followed by Blindness. So, I thought I’d type it in YouTube to see if there’s any live clips. Not only is it live..but…IT’S ACOUSTIC!!! Acoustic songs by Metric=THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD. It is so so so so beautiful. It actually brought tears to my eyes. I’ve got it on repeat.

Metric- Front Row (acoustic).

Enjoy!

Oh…does anyone else think Emily looks a bit like Leisha Hailey (she is in The L Word and plays in a band called Uh Huh Her!)

The Horrors- Sea Within A Sea.

Do you like The Horrors? Do you like songs that last over 5 minutes? If your answer is YES! then you will probably love the new song by The Horrors. It is called Sea Within A Sea and it is F*&%ING AMAZING!!!

Every song on Strange House was no longer than 3 minutes…the new one is 7 minutes. SEVEN MINUTES!!!! It is so different from Strange House, Faris is singing on it! Faris singing will probably mean people will not disregard them now.

There’s a UK tour at the end of May until mid June. I need to get to the Birmingham gig, it’s at the Barfly.

Right so the song, after 3.20 it does this insane bit then calms down. Just listen to it.

This is what the countdown on their site was about last week! I’m so excited for the new album, Primary Colours. It’s going to be rather good I reckon!

Play this really loud..I am. RIGHT NOW!

Enjoy! x

The Enemy- No Time For Tears.

The Enemy are easily one of the best British bands around, and are flawless live. If you think they’re not going to be able to top their debut album, then you are wrong! New single, No Time For Tears picks up where We’ll Live And Die In These Towns left off but does sound a bit different and stronger.

The video is simple yet it focuses on the power the song holds.

Oh, and a few weeks ago I walked past Andy(bassist) in Leamington Spa. When I say walk past, I mean I was on a bus in town that went past him. I did spazz a bit. Me and my girlfriend were going to follow him but as we’re over the age of 12..we thought better of it! She reckons his name is Kieron. She knows it’s Andy but says he looks like he should be called Kieron!

Enjoy the video and song.

The Dead Weather.

I should probably doing work for my degree..last year and all that crap.

BUT! I have only today found out that one of my favourite lady’s is in a new band. That’s right, Alison Mosshart and Jack White have a band together! They are called The Dead Weather. Check out these two tracks, a cover of Gary Numan’s Are Friends Electric? and Hang You From The Heavens.

Now, I was never a big fan of The White Stripes (I do like a few songs) and I do like The Raconteurs. I think Jack White though, is a fantastic musician. The Dead Weather are brilliant. Hope you like them!
