Ideas and Concepts:
Angelic voice from the 70s, via tonight's History of Rock and Roll class: "Female singer-songwriters are always about sincerity, they share their experiences, they're talking directly to you, instruments get in the way as little as possible, usually simply an acoustic guitar or piano, there's an organic element to the communication. - Joni Mitchell, Both Sides Now, 1970."
Why had I never heard of Tori Amos before? Via tonight's History of Rock and Roll class:
"Toward the end of the 1980s, women singer-song-writers began writing songs about issues that may not have been important only to women, but perhaps interested mostly other women, and this genre gained a kind of independence from other performers.
One of the most prominent singers of this era was Toni Amos who broached a broad range of topics, including sexuality, feminism, politics, and religion. The interesting thing about Tori Amos' music is how much of the classical piano training you can hear in what is going on in the music. Of course, there are people who are interested in other elements of what she is doing as well, but there's a lot to listen for in Tori Amos' music depending on your interests:
So I ran faster, But you caught me here, Yes my loyalties turned, Like my ankle, In the seventh grade, Running after Billy, Running after the rain, These precious things, Let them bleed, Let them wash away, These precious things let them break, Their hold over me, , He said you're, really an ugly girl, But I like the way you play, And I died, But I thanked him, Can you believe that, Sick, sick, holding on to his picture, Dressing up every, day, I wanna smash the faces of those beautiful boys, Those Christian boys, So you can make me come, That doesn't make you Jesus, I remember, Yes in my, peach party dress, No one dared, No one cared, To tell me where the pretty girls are, Those demigods, With their nine-inch nails, And little fascist panties, Tucked inside the heart, Of ever nice girl, These precious things, Let them bleed, Let them wash away, These precious things, Let them break, Let them wash, away."

Unique mash-up video of the day, via tonight's History of Rock and Roll class:
"Riot grrrl was an underground feminist punk movement that began in the early 1990s in Washington state, as a subcultural movement that combined feminist consciousness and punk style and politics. It has also been described as a musical genre that came out of indie rock, with the punk scene serving as an inspiration for a musical movement in which women expressed themselves full-throttle in the same way men had been doing for the past several years.
One of the main bands of the Riot grrrl movement was Bikini Kill, known for its radical feminist lyrics and fiery performances. Their music is characteristically abrasive and hardcore-influenced.
"Kathleen Hanna was just screaming at the top of her lungs, veins sticking out of her neck. It was the first time I'd seen a woman on stage completely angry and aggressive. Somebody had to be Bikini Kill. It had to happen, or else we would have all starved to death culturally. It had to happen, and there they were."
This video is a hilarious coupling of Bikini Kill's song Rebel Girl with a horrible Asian political propaganda film. A great song, a driving beat and so much better than the saccharin pop from the divas featured in People magazine."
