Update - just bought some Juliana Hatfield and received the new The Horrors album, as it's so much better than the first. Anyone rate Luscious Jackson?

Bricks are, like, heavy, know what I mean?
Having spent yesterday listening to Tortelier's recordings of the Bach Cello Suites, I'm having a 90s female indie day: Veruca Salt, Juliana Hatfield, L7, The Breeders, Babes in Toyland, Bikini Kill, Huggy Bear and so on. Bliss was it to be alive in that time of para boots, floral dresses and spiky guitars. Where are the riot grrls of yesteryear?

I don't understand anything you wrote here. However, this is the only way to test my better-definition profile picture.
That's because you're far too old, Rip Van Horn. The picture's very good.
Luscious Jackson first album is very good. A bit less guitars than the other bands you mention though. They were labelled as the female Beasie Boys but more due to lazy journalism than any similarity of sound. I once played it in an Argos warehouse and my fifty year old supervisor got all excited and said it sounded like Focus. Can't see it myself mind you.
No idea about Luscious Jackson but I'll try to check him out. The Horrors' album is a pretty immense turn around though. No longer are they just the darlings of Whitechapel.
Wow. Focus. I saw them once.
Wow. The Horrors. I saw them once.
Wow. The Horrors. I used to get them frequently. I always wanted to be in a band called The Fear but there was no Fear. Alternatively, I wanted to be in a band called We're Not Like the Others, but everyone was. Damn this mediocre life.
- hey! that's not a bad band name. A bit mediocre maybe. And I realise that I'm talking about imaginary bands but you are talking about the real and audible kind. I'll get my coat.
