It is more like whatever the female equivalent of The Vines would be.
If you think you The Distillers are good punk rock you need to go back to punk rock school.

what did people think of Coral Fang? I wrote a piece about my disappointment in the Voice a while back (btw, title was not my idea - mine was the tamer "Brody's Muses") but I haven't heard a peep about people's take on it (or whether or not they even checked the album out) here. I finally heard the first album and it's terrific.

..and my headline was the much, much livelier and funnier and more meaningful one I actually used. Also don't remember this: "My editor was evidently too much of a Tim Armstrong nut to let me get away with saying that Sing Sing Death House was better than any Hole or Rancid album, which I believe.", but if I *didn't* let Anthony "get away" with that, it had nothing to do with my own tastes (especially since I think he might be *right* about Hole, if not Rancid), since wanting writers to agree with me is the least of my concerns as an editor; may well have had to do with space, and wanting Anthony to actually say the most interesting things he had room for, though...

what I mean is that people weren't sure if that was a reference or something. In all reality I wouldn't have complained except for the word "fucking." My mom's always complaining about me and my sister (who writes for the Morning News) having such bad pottymouth in stuff we write.

On a Courtney trip, will their next album sound like QOTSA?
Spinnerette kind of does.

I really expected I'd like the Spinnerette album more than I do. I mean, I like it fine, but it was something I figured I'd be listening to non-stop and that's not what happened.

Looks like they're back!

I was a huge fan of Brody Dalle's solo album Diploid Love when it came out, but have never been able to get into the Distillers proper. Hopefully enough time has past since both those things that whatever comes of this project will be both new and good.

Just putting this here. Won't have a chance to listen until later.
