Sing for the Moment
Under the radar for awhile, the women that brought me into alternative rock have grown back to my top lists. Luscious Jackson, the girls who acted in Pete and Pete are probably some of the best music writers of our generation, gone unnoticed by plenty of people. Why? Probably not because they're women, although I'm sure some disagree. My thoughts are that they're just not made for this time. Electric Honey, the bastard child of the album family, is probably one of the best albums of the post 2000 music scene. Fever In, Fever Out, its ancestor, even improves on that one. They're really a great band. Some of my favorite songs of theirs include Here, Lover's Moon, Space Diva, and pretty much any off of Fever In, Fever Out.
Red Hot Chili Peppers' Dani California is pretty good, in other news. A slice of classic rock, no real hook melody, but a good rhythm that's very dependable. Good Peppers right there. The video is also pretty good, parodying the generations of rockers of the ages.
Lastly, Young's Living With War is going to be streamed on his site. Gotta watch for that and see if it's up to all the hype. My forecast? It's not. But we'll see.
