I've already heard more women's voices on the Hottest 100 in the 95-100 slots than we heard in the whole countdown in June for the Hottest 100 of all time. I am though worried that the women will be confined to the top half of the list ... let's see ( Read more... )

About halfway into FAM I realised that the experience was becoming an extremely positive one for me. And that actually I didn't want to get to the end of the month and that be the end of this. Rather, I felt like I wanted it to have meant something, to have inspired something, to have kicked off into something else. I wanted to take the momentum ( Read more... )

No lj posting ability yesterday means no Day 26 from me. But pharaoh_katt and I are working on something beyond FAM that hopefully will make up for that.

I have a pile of CDs here and only 3 days left after today.

I saw them do this one live and it was one of those religious type experiences. Shirley Manson talked about the song and why she wrote it before she sang it and it seemed like it took her back to that moment ( Read more... )

Today I am appreciating Whoopi Goldberg. I love the version of Ain't No Mountain High Enough from Sister Act 2 which I was gonna include in today's FAM post, she sings in this, along with Lauryn Hill and others. I also won't admit how many of the hymns I know and love to sing cause of this movie and the first one. Oops ( Read more... )

FAM spread far and wide. This morning my friend G at work comes up to me and announces that he made a 51 song playlist of his all time hottest female artists "to correct the balance". Actually, he didn't need to correct the balance on account of his general appreciation of female artists anyway. And he was looking to burn it for me, but then ( Read more... )
