Oh, hey, I recognize that song! What commercial used that? Was it an iPod one? It doesn't remind me of razors, at least. ("I'm Your Venus" by Bananarama was ruined for me before I even knew who was behind it.)
Speaking of pop, we're already on the second page and I haven't put up any Butterfly Boucher yet! :shock: This must be remedied posthaste!
She's an Australian singer-songwriter whose music you hear around in the odd television show or film, but don't necessarily know who she is. So, you know, not a headliner (alas, there is no justice), but excellent live!
Has anyone mentioned Evanescence? (I think I spelt that right.) They're pretty awesome, kind of less heard of now than they used to be, but still worth a squizz.
Evanescence? I wouldn't say they're less heard of now, they just don't have any new albums right now. I'd still call them pretty massive though. I don't think I could walk into a room and ask if anyone knows of them and not have at least one person say yes.
They do have a awesome lead vocalist (Amy something or other haha) I think it was Amy anyways.
Janis Joplin has to be my favorite female singer. The soul and passion in her songs just blows me away. I'll share my favorite Janis song with you, Cry Baby.
Another (although much less soulful) favorite would be Lily Allen. Though she has something of a pop sound, her songs aren't worthless. My favorite of hers would be the tongue-in-cheek The Fear.
The proportionately small amount of woman in music (let alone rock music) has always bothered me. There aren't really many female artists that I like, since most tend to be in genres I'm not very fond of. Despite my utter lack of talent, I've always wanted to be a singer, and I feel like there isn't much of a place for me in music. I hope that eventually talented, gifted, and soulful women musicians become more prevalent...
Hi, Cherry! Yeah, women rockers are few and far between, but if you know where to look... Really, there are a lot of women in music, though I do wonder about statistics.
What genres of music do you like? Maybe we can find some suggestions for you!
I really like Lily Allen too, she's pretty cool. I actually like her older stuff a little more like Lily Allen - Shame For You but I like it all really. ^^ Just wanted to point out she's got some great older songs.
Hm. I'm thinking about taking a run to the store. Filling up my gas tank, too. The car, she is thirsty. But when I get back maybe I'll work on some banners. Do you think 200x200 pixels would be about right for affiliate banners?
I don't know. If they were like buttons... I don't know, how big should a rectangular banner be? Smaller or bigger than the siggy banners? Or the same size, even?
