Oh great, here I am listening to a Drive-By Truckers mix, and Adam calls an ‘all women edition’ OT.
Hmm…Lucinda Williams is opening for the DBTs next week at the Anthem, does that count?
Also, “Feb 14th” still cracks me up after all these years. Just grateful I never had THAT bad of a Valentine’s Day, I guess!

I want to apologize to lamh for being blind on Northam. They ended up being right about Northam needing to resign over this. I want them to know that racism has no place in the Dem party and I don’t want them to leave. I always enjoy reading their perspective. lamh frequently posts about news the MSM doesn’t often report on.

@frosty: Thanks. I have two all women playlists I work out to. In addition to the other six, which have some women and some men. This is basically the first 7 of one of those two playlists.

Just skimming the post but are these all white women singers? Perhaps some women of color could also be included in the selection?

Thank you, appreciated.
I recernly rediscovered a band from my youth but am going to spare the jackals the exposure. It’s a Croatian band.
But I also heard a song by the Scottish band CHVRCHES for the first time, Clearest Blue. For those who are into electronic music, check it out.

One of the great talents of our time is Seanan McGuire. She’s better known now as an author (including under her nom de plume Mira Grant), and more recently as a comics author (and she kicks coccyx at both), but I found her music first. Here’s one of the most woman-forward songs around, “Wicked Girls”.

@Adam L Silverman: Most of my favorites have female vocalists, going back to Linda Rondstadt and Emmy Lou, then onto Bangles, Go-Gos, Motels, Concrete Blonde, KT Tunstall, Liz Phair, etc etc.. I recently discovered heavy metal with female singers, starting with Evanescence. Check out Halestorm, from Red Lion PA. Some of their tunes should be good workout music. :-)

@Adam L Silverman:
Hopefully he’s resigning. He should have done so today. Honestly, he shouldn’t have run for governor in the first place if he knew those pictures existed in his year book.

@chris: I took an advanced research design and methods for political campaign polling and surveys when doing my PhD. I didn’t think it was possible to get results this bad. Given the margin of error he’s anywhere from 1.3% to 6.7% favorable. Ebola, anthrax, and AIDS poll better than that! Schultz has to be really dumb, really gullible, or both to think that results from surveys where “generic independent centrist” was polled rather than Howard Schultz were worth what a cup of his coffee costs. And that’s provided his pollsters actually showed him the results and/or accurately reported what they polled instead of saying: “we polled this and you’re competitive, here’s the numbers” and never explained they didn’t actually poll Howard Schultz as Howard Schultz.

Polls along those lines this far out, especially ones requiring some name recognition, are less than worthless indicators of anything.
If one fed Ex-lax to Ferdinand for a month one would end up with less bullsh*t.
Adam L Silverman
@lgerard: Those #s are just astounding.
Adam L Silverman
@??? Goku (aka Amerikan Baka) ??: This polling reinforces the concern that everyone had regarding the spoiler effect. The Democrats have no choice but to destroy him now and as quickly as possible. The priority right now for Democrats isn’t to let up on this. The oppo research and drops will intensify. The pressure on Starbucks to throw him under the bus will be increased. Expect a public forced buyout of his shares and a potential rebranding to differentiate and separate the company from this mess. What’s coming is Schultz delenda est.

@Adam L Silverman: He can announce he’s not going to run and then announce he’s spending his money on something like green energy initiatives and combating global warming and Starbucks would probably be okay with him.
Combating global warming would make good business sense for him since coffee plants may be wiped out due to it and that might undermine his business a tad.

also, that theme from The Last of the Mohicans always moves me, not too many soundtracks do that, but that song seems to to be able to manifest the major elements of the story…. I think it’s pretty close to one of the best ever imho, along with the music gleaned for Burns’ A Civil War documentary and one of the elements from Matewan…. like Hazel Dickens awesome work like…. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiGPbHnpQks

Yall have lilsted a lot of great female singers. I would add the third member of the Trio singers, LInda Ronstadt, Emmy Lou Harris, and Dolly Parton, who has provide something like
80 millionover 111 million books to kids to improve literacy. Plus a great musician.Susan Tedeschi, whom the younger Derek Trucks is lucky enough to have married, is also a great musician, and a wonderful person all over, so far as I can tell from the distance of a fan in the crowd.
Lucinda Williams, who has been on Mountain Stage many times, is also a great singer. I’m listening to Seanan McGuire who is surprisingly good… some people have talent that in such quantities that it overflows into nearly everything they do. And then there’s Ben Carson and the rest of the Republican masters of the universe who drain talent from every circumstance they find themselves near.
Now back into bed at nearly 4 am here in AZ! Big day later on today, back to Tucson for dinner with a friend, and joy at the Gem and Mineral show. Annualy on the first two weeks of Feb! Brings people from all over the world into Tucson.
Thanks for this Adam!

It is driving me nuts but there is something very familiar about that Rhiannon song. Not the words though. I constantly wanted to sing other words, like she used the music from some other song……..

Ah ha! I knew it was familiar. It sampled New Order’s “Blue Monday” – – my 80’s music knowledge remembered the tune but the Internet filled in the name of the song.
