She's Liable To Grow Up Mean

[redbrunja]

mzminola got talking about 'fuck yes she's awesome' music, namely Superchic[k] and since she'd never heard "Get Up" I figured it was time to do a mini music spam. Here, three songs that are totally gendered female and always make me want to get up and fight.

Get Up - Superchic[k]

Control - Poe

You Don't Own Me - Rasputina

Superchick is pretty damn awesome. "One Girl Revolution" never fails to make me want to move.

SQUEE RASPUTINA

GIRL POWER AMEN.

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Hell yes.

Whoo!
...there's a bunch of girl-centric Kingdom Hearts AMVs favourited on my youtube page, if you're wanting to see any more Superchick music vids.

Oh, awsome.

Yum, Poe and Rasputina! Dunno the other act but if you're mentioning them in the same breath I'm sure they'll be kicking too. :)

Some of my favorites for that girls-kick-ass feel are the PJ Harvey stuff I gave you earlier, Sleater-Kinney, Hole, the Gossip, and Bif Naked: this song in particular is one I keep on heavy repeat on my music player whenever I need a serious kick of self-esteem:

Oh, that is kick ass! I don't usually go for music videos, but that is damn, damn fine.

cool thanks. I miss evil_little_dog's stash of Poe cd's

and the Rasputina thing is neat, sounds like a 50's girl song set to Goth violin with a message never dared spoken in the 50's except that it WAS (Lesley Gore sang this originally but it was probably closer to the 60's when this came out)

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Go Lesley Gore.

I love the violin; we really don't have enough violin in our rock music.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i have to agree, then again I love violin and have scads of such recordings

[smillaraaq.livejournal.com]

...except Rasputina is mostly cello. ;)

(Violins in rock are also v. v. cool, of course!)

In case you can't tell, I suck at intentifying instruments.
