Title: Re: [TypicalGirls] 15 must-haves for the beginning girl ro
I'll admit I haven't heard Oh-OK's 'Complete Recordings' CD, but
am I the only one here who's wondering what they're doing on this
list? The 7" is cute, the 12" is fine for what it is (surely
it's not hard to see how much of that was Mitch Easter --and Matthew
Sweet), but if there's only going to be four American bands wouldn't
the early Bangles material be a fairer example? To say nothing of
"Horses". And if it's okay to have boys in the band, surely
Exene's share of the X material rates a (required) listen.
(Better yet, X and the Richard & Linda Thompson LPs belong at the
top of any list of how to write great songs with your lover.
Only the songs survive...)
If you have the chance to hear the UK mix of the Lene Lovich LP
(not sure which is on the Rhino CD) it is radically different --and
far superior. And since we're talking education and inspiration
rather than music-history, the Siouxsie 'hits' collection is surely
the better choice. Have I mentioned Patti Smith recently?
peace,
C.
I'm ambivalent about the Siouxsie dilemma. We need some more people to chime in!
