Attn Nigel- I found a song about the bridges!

I have just dug up this band and I think I am in musical love.

This song made me think of you, and your tales of Portland.

[Bu🤠ns]

Woah....that one has quite a set of pipes!  Damn, Pixie, I'll have to check out more from them.

yes, they are now defunct but they have a side-project called Wild Flag, which I will be listening to at some point.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

  Classic Sleater-Kinney! The dark-haired singer is the chick from Portlandia.

I knew one of their drummers, but now I have no idea how or why. Probably through my ex.

[East Coast Hustle]

Fucking Sleater Kinney.

Fucking Carrie Brownstein.

Fucking Portlandia.

Fucking Sleater Kinney.

Fucking Portlandia.

Well I have never seen Portlandia and don't intend to, but I'm having somewhat a Riot Grrl fixation of late.  Corin Tucker has a voice I like.

[East Coast Hustle]

Corin Tucker did have a pretty sweet set of pipes. Why she let Carrie do even one iota of the singing is beyond me.

(OK, actually it's not, I just think it's a shit reason to let a crappy singer sing in your band)

[East Coast Hustle]

And to be fair, Carrie's not a terrible guitar player.

But I think we can all agree, holy FUCK Janet Weiss is terrible on drums. Pretty sure Michael J. Fox would be an improvement.

Damn.

Doesn't seem so bad. The drums I mean. The drums.

[East Coast Hustle]

That was unconditionally awful, even accounting for the notoriously (and I suspect intentionally) bad sound at the Doug Fir.

[E.O.T.]

Fucking Sleater Kinney.

Fucking Carrie Brownstein.

Fucking Portlandia.

THANK

          you

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Fucking Sleater Kinney.

Fucking Carrie Brownstein.

Fucking Portlandia.

GET DOWN ON YOUR FUCKING KNEES and thank BABY JEBUS that you have even THAT level of music.  We here in the Holy City™ have to choose between Norteno music and Kenny Loggins tribute bands.

Oh, and Styx comes through the casinos.  Without Dennis DeYoung.

No more whining.  Seriously.  Fuckers.

[East Coast Hustle]

I'd take a week of Norteno over an hour of Sleater Kinney every time.

Hell, I LIKE Norteno music. And narcocorridos. And that weird mexican rap that comes out of TJ (even though I suspect it is really Mexico's answer to hipster whiteboy rap like Mad Rad).

You just don't appreciate all the good things you have in Tucson, sir.
