Natalie Prass – Why Don’t You Believe In Me

Video 5 Comments

So, I was trying to think of a worthy and momentous way to close out this (truthfully) spontaneous celebration of women in music, but I eventually came to the conclusion that I'd like to think we do a pretty good job on a daily basis exposing the several people that listen to many females of past, present, and future. That said, these past few weeks have still been a lot of fun, and a well deserved showcase.

Somehow, we've yet to feature Ms. Prass. In all truthfulness, I've loved her debut, but something is still lacking that I can't quite put my finger on. I'm stingy with my stars, but I'd still give it at least an 8/10. Here she is just recently down in Austin playing a stipped down number from her new one.


2015; like 2 weeks ago

EDIT: holy crap, I thought her guitarist was playing a right handed guitar with the strings reversed, like you do, but no, he's just playing it upside down. who does that!?

The Blow – True Affection

Video

Okay, I have many complex feelings about these guys this gal. First off, she finds great people to collaborate with. Her studio albums are sonically pretty cool (and as she's singing over a recording, you'll get an idea of it). However, her schtick can get a little annoying. I mean, a lot of her songs, I think it's a conscious thing to kind of make a point, but that doesn't make it any less annoying. Kind of like a Girls type of thing, maybe. I don't know. That said, I still dig Khaela and her tunes, regardless of how nutty she is/may be.

There really aren't any good live cuts out there at all, so this will have to do.

Liz Phair – Cinco de Mayo

Video 2 Comments

Love me some Liz.


1994

Unfortunately, there weren't too many videos from back in the day that captured her as she deserved (audio is pretty crappy all around too). Here's one more classic (with better audio, and a little less wooden performance) that we obviously couldn't lead with, but deserves mention all the same.

Tanya Tagaq – Uja/Umingmak

Video 5 Comments

We've been continuing the thread from the Women in Rock week as well as Zack's wonderful contributions (because Women's History Month), so let's keep pressing further on. An Inak throat singer, Tagaq is certainly worthy of watching, if only because you've never seen anything like it before.
