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.

Julia Holter – City Appearing

Video 4 Comments

Ed: Many thanks to Zack for a kickass week. It was so good, the painter wanted to pay tribute, which we will happily tag on.

The most romantic song about a nightclub fire as you'll ever hear. KEXP, 2012.

Ms. Holter is indescribable. Avant Garde? Classical? Pop? Ambient? I dunno. Just call her brilliant.
And because she can't be pigeonholed: Continue reading Julia Holter – City Appearing →

Brenda Weiler – Trickle Down

Video 1 Comment

If Hammerhead is my favorite music act to ever come from Fargo, I suppose Brenda Weiler is my second. I had the hugest of crushes on her in high school. I can't remember who told me to listen to her, but she was way outside of what I normally listened to. I just loved her voice, and for whatever reason was thinking about her tonight. I guess she runs a yoga studio downtown now? Anyway, here's a recent recording of her playing the eponymous song from her first record.
