Lately, I have been on a big kick for female musicians. Started with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Then Jem. Then Frou Frou. Then Feist (thank Apple. And apparently, also Sesame Street–view the above video). All from back in the “day.” But lately, The Ting Tings have been getting some massive play time on my iPod. So who is on your chick rock list?
And yes, this isn’t directly related to cars. But I don’t care.
