This mix is dedicated to ViciousBleu, I had promised to make a mix of favorite female vocalists. So, here go. This is based on what I'd posted in her music forum topic called "I Hate Women." It was a little difficult to choose between favorite songs, but I posted the songs that made me fall in love with each vocalist. Love is all around. Oh, and the cover is another water color of mine that I did last week. The giraffe's legs are apearing from the top.

| 2 | Lisa Germano : I Love a Snot |
|
I'd put Lisa and Siouxsie in all of my mixes. This was the song that told me that I'd found something great in lil' Ms. Germano. I love the weight of her voice and the idiosyncratic lyrics she writes.

| 4 | Heather Duby : Make Me Some Insomnia |
|
Album opener that caught me off guard becaue of what I'd known from here before. I assume she is playing the intimidating piano music as she sings. Sampling songs for this mix, this song still effects me and makes me pause and listen to it. I stalked Heather online, which I don't think is punishable, since it was only one rambling e-mail. Great album.

| 5 | Eurythmics : Thorn in My Side |
|
My favorite song of Annie Lennox's. (Honestly, how does one choose one?) I think Diva should be in every CD collection. On Revenge, "Thorn" is preceded by "Missionary Man" and followed by "When Tomorrow Comes" - it's slap-yo-mamma delicious.

I'm not a huge fan of pedal steel, I know this song is johny_luddite's new favorite song, but my devotion to Sally Ellyson's voice borders on infidelity. I'm so very glad she sent in her demo tape to the band.

| 8 | Holly Golightly : Hold Me Baby |

This sounds like it was recorded at the studio in O' Brother Where Art Thou. I love this song. (Okay, I deeply love all of these songs) Too bad a fifties movies that MST3K covers doesn't have this song break out as the kids all sit in their booths at the local burger joint. This song isn't that old, though I can't find a year it was made here at work.

| 10 | Kristin Hersh : Like You |

This is one case where I truly thank CMJ for introducing me to great music. I love this track. It is akin to why I love Lisa Germano. University by Throwing Muses is a great album and I'm getting into more of Hersh's solo work. She has a new album out this year, but I don't have any funds. I can only make mixes.

I promised Kim Deal and Kim Gordon, well here they be. I wanted to include The Breeders covering the Aerosmith song "Lord of Your Thighs" but I used that on my very first MTC mix, so I guess that song is grandfathered into this mix. It's a ghost runner on first. I saw the video for this song by Mark Romanek before I'd heard the song. Jiminy Cricket and a flammable bundt cake! Stellar.

| 15 | Imogen Heap : Daylight Robbery |

I saw Imogen on the Frou Frou video of "Let Go" and was knocked on my can. This was pre-Garden State and OC hype. I know her true voice isn't presented on most Frou Frou work and that's cool. I dig here earlier work too, check out "Old Piano", I'd follow that voice off a cliff.

| 17 | April March : Cet Air-La |

This heaven sent voice over two acoustic guitars is the very definition of "bliss". I looked it up on answers.com. April March a very wide variety of music from garage to French Ya Ya, and electronic to the silly. She was an animator on Ren and Stimpy and recorded music with John Kricfalusi as part of the Shitbirds. All great music, to me.

I found PG through a girl that sold me my first pair of Doc Martins at a mall. I liked her and asked her out. She mentioned Patty as we shared our favorite artists lists. I still have the boots and I love Patty, but I'm not sure what happened to whatsername. Amazing song. This voice also effects me. I wish I could see here tour this year, but that isn't going to happen.

The Yay! Badge VII
Last night I had the chance to see Holly Golightly perform live. Still love her voice. Great set. I had a chance to tell her "Thank you" after the show. Yay for small venues and intimate concerts. What a fun night.

This is beautiful! I can't believe I hadn't seen it yet!
A few of these I've heard of and liked (basically because of their work with male artists I love...cough cough...PJ Harvey) but most of them will be new sounds to my ears. Thank you!

An excellent collection as you would expect. I would have added a blues diva or two, plus Joni and Bjork, but that is just me. Nice watercolor too.
