| Janis |
I don't know what it is, but this week I've really been into artists/bands fronted by women. It's about the vocals and the emotion they bring to their every word. Next to the Grateful Dead,
Janis Joplin is the top artist I would go back in time just to see in concert. Period. No amount of watching her perform live on a recording can do her justice, I feel. She is so powerful with the way she uses the music to express herself, and it is a direct connection for me.
Cry Baby (one of my all time favorite songs)

| The Yeah Yeah Yeahs |
I have also really been digging on
the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. The group, fronted by Karen O., seems to be able to mix an array of sounds I don't think I would normally like in a band. They are a group I have yet to see, but plan on adding them to my list soon. Although she is backed by two men, her presence and sound is dominant. The lyrics are also something to be said for, as each song tells a story. They have quite the unique sound, so listen with an open ear!

Last, I have been leaning on
Meg & Dia. The ladies are a similar group to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, but they have a much less uniform sound and I love it. Much more garage-bandy sounding, the gritty vocals and hit-home lyrics will have you begging for more. Although I don't have the pictures to show for it, I went to a concert of theirs last year and it was life changing.
Check out some ladies...musically!
