Bikini Kill

I love Bikini Kill is the greatest, it was my high school theme to get by. I think we all are a Rebel Girl, including the boys.

Oh yes. i collect kid606 stuff. It's fuckin awesome.

I remember seeing Bikini Kill in the early '90s. They played at the Pyramid in NYC with Nation of Ulysses when both bands were just starting out. That was a great show. A couple of years later Huggy Bear came over and played ABC No Rio and that too was excellent.

I bow before your old schoolness. I know they never came here much at all. Lucky bastard!

I never liked the tag "riot girrrl", because it seemed to ghettoize(sp?) this music, rather than just acknowledge the awesomeness of it. The whole "women in rock thing" seems to be a type of segregation. On another thread, about underrated women singers, one person pointed out that most postings consisted of a picture of the woman/women in question, while places where male artists were being talked about, few people posted pictures, outside of album covers.

Now that I'm done being politically correct, "Pussy Whipped" is one of my favorite albums of all time, from start to finish. I especially like the songs sung by Kathi Wilcox and Tobi Vail. Although that takes nothing away from the greatness of Kathleen Hannah. They aren't "women who rock". That album pretty much kicks everybody's ass. They just rock!

And Sleater/Kinney has never played a wrong note. Even their stuff that is considered weaker is better than most of the crap-ola that's out there. Their political rantings are awesome. Why do they get pigeonholed into riot girrrl, while another political band, say Rage Against the Machine, don't get branded as riot guuuuys?

Sorry, guess I wasn't done being politically correct.

a big Amen, sister!

i need this......what's it on?

Pussywhipped is one hell of a rock'n'roll album. Goddamn.

Rev, I KNEW I liked you for a reason.
