Hello Handsome is the one-girl garage pop project of Sarah K. On her MySpace she lists influences from the TVPs to Sonic Youth. What I'm hearing on "Courting Song" are things like Cub, Bunnygrunt, and a little bit of Bratmobile. It's pretty solid grrrl pop and the totally fantastic, almost blues-y, lead-in to the song's finishing coda is surprising and pretty memorable – memorable enough for me to tell you that you HAVE to listen to it.

I'm as much of a fan of public transportation as the next New Yorker, but I still miss driving. Hailing from Detroit, where cars are as much a part of your life as anything, I long to roll down my windows and crank up the stereo. Once again ready again to hit the road, I'm [...]
I know, I know you've been waiting. You want to download the some of the best songs of 2007 and simply don't know where to turn. The massiveness of the internets is overwhelming. Fear not. I have complied the best downloadable songs from GT this past year. And yes, some of these songs were not officially released in 2007. So what? As for ranking, these songs are arranged using the power of the alphabet ! Oh, don't be so obsessed with ranking things and just enjoy. A [...]
In lieu of a decent lineup of N-bands to offer you, here are my three favourite songs from Simple Machines' Neapolitan Metropolitan 7" Box Set, released in 1992. The three 7"s correspond to pistachio ( Washington bands Bratmobile, Late [David Grohl's secret band], Lilys, Whorl), vanilla ( Baltimore bands Tear Jerks, Candy machine Slack, False Face Society), and, erm, pink ( Richmond bands Breadwinner, Coral, Burma Jam, Fudge). What's pink ice cream? Strawberry? Sure, let's go with strawberry. The box set came with a consciousness raising booklet about Ben & Jerry's good deeds, as well [...]
The indie - punk feminist movement riot grrrl reached its height in the 1990s but continues to exert it's influence over alternative cultures as demonstrated by the success of the feminism [...]
a veces leo cosas que hacen que me entren ganas de que victoria kent y valerie solanas resuciten y les den a todas y a todos su merecido. por ejemplo, trozos de discusiones como esta ... vale, era una provocadora broma. yo venía a decir que lo bueno es que siempre hay mucha gente sensata con la que recordar que merece la pena seguir resistiéndose a ser una lectora potencial de la revista ar . ahí van varios ejemplos. . hace dos meses antonio luque celebraba la onomástica [...]
Birthday cake baked here This week Contrast Podcast has invited us all to help celebrate its first birthday.

As one of CP's contributing uncles, can I just say how proud I am of the little nipper. Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday, Dearest Contrast Podcast!! Right, now on to the jelly and ice cream and cake and prezzies. And the music. [...]
Listen to Bratmobile cover the Misfits ... Where ? Or Not: "Die" (mp3)
Hello, i am filling in for priskillet LIL POCKET KNIFE I first heard this song in my brothers car two years ago, i instantly fell in love. You can hear the energy in her voice and the fact that it sounds sorta like a 14 year old girl singing really enhances the song, the lyrics are genius in my opinion! (i am not very good about figuring out what to write [...]
