This song is only 11 days old but sounds so very 1990s — and I mean that as a compliment. If Lush, Throwing Muses and The Breeders got Crispred together, this is what would result.
Video
Bratty – Radio
Ya amo a Bratty.
We Can Be Anything
Please, experience the awesomeness that is Baby Queen for yourself.
She understands the overarching point Nietzsche was making better than most PhD-ed philosophers.
Dirty Blues
Love her guitar style so much. She plays the blues dirty, as it should be. I’ve never seen her with that black Telecaster before, but it’s an older video. It sounds freakin’ great, though.
Hallelujah
Such a beautiful song and video — and the best vocal work Haim as a whole has ever done. Love the quoted Fleetwood Mac verse too. This is also an excellent live performance of the song:
Danielle’s vocals here in particular are better than the studio version.
MaDMAn
Fuckin’ hell, man, I got this damn song stuck in my head.
Well Suited
I didn’t know how much I needed to see Wendy James in a full men’s suit with gloves but it turns out that, yes, I did.
Sam
So glad I got to see her live. She’s so fucking good that way. Her studio albums are meh but her live performances are amazing.
Wendy
I used to like watching Wendy James when her band’s music videos came on back in the day on MTV, but I had no idea that she was so interesting and intelligent as a person.
She just has an intense calmness that is really appealing.
Speed of Light – Teeth
Reminds me of Pantera, but if Phil Anselmo had been a woman.
Douce Dame Jolie
Love that Medieval French! Sounds so very different (unsurprisingly).
The Hucklebuck
Don’t hear many Earl Hooker covers, and that’s a damn good one. I have to be honest — I’m a bit in love with the woman killin’ it on the stand-up bass. What a great personality.
No Matter How Much
Well that’s a ride. Love it, her physicality and her weird-ass hair. People with that much charisma, where do they come from?
Can I Play My Guitar
You can get away with this absurd level of improvisation when everyone in your band is insanely talented. Otherwise it just falls apart. Prince had more panache than just about anyone and such a great guitar style; he played his piece kinda like a violin.
Yesterday
Lily James is so unbelievably good in this scene. And the editing, the cinematography, the unconventional shot choices…just a masterpiece in a little over three minutes.
The rest of the film is ok but this scene just nails everything so damn well.
