Warning: You will not find Animal Collective, Dirty Projectors, or Grizzly Bear on this list. (Loses 99/100 of potential audience...) Now then. Here are 25 songs that I adored in 2009, in no particular order. Mexican Chili Taco Fiesta - Tamales Oaxaquenos (via KEXP). If you had told me that I would include a mostly instrumental song about Oaxacan tamales, where the only lyrics I can understand are the title words of the song, on my year-end mix, well, I might not have laughed at you, but I [...]

BACK AGAIN FOR MORE ! On her first album since The Distillers broke up in 2005, Australian singer Brody Dalle returns with a new band, Spinnerette , and a new sound that's less punk these days and more plain old hard rock. Ghetto Love is also her first musical project since giving birth to a daughter. These are certainly fast changing times for Dalle! Here's her new video: SPINNERETTE - Ghetto Love [...]

Whoa, it it time for another Scenestar giveaway? We say yes! This time it's not concert tickets but something to make your home base look just a tad cooler. It's a super rad poster from Brody Dalle of The Distillers...

You may remember Brody Dalle from her ill-fated punk band The Distillers , who broke up about two years ago. Or you may remember Brody Dalle as the brash, outspoken herione to Josh Homme's dashing hero ( Queens of the Stone Age ). Well Brody is back with a new project called Spinnerette , and a 4-song digital EP " Ghetto Love " ready to roll and available on the band's website and iTunes. Recorded at PinkDuck and 11AD studios in Los Angeles, the EP features guest musicians including Alain Johannes ( Queens of the Stone Age ), Tony Bevilacqua [...]

When I first saw this in my inbox, I fully intended to delete it without a second thought. After all, I am not a Distillers fan and I don't shop at Hot Topic. So why would this interest me? Sure, it made me a snobby jerk but all bloggers have a touch of snobby jerk in them. I reconsidered though - figured, what's it hurt to take a peek? I'm not sure what to say here, other than I like this. Yeah, really. Brody's ditched the screaming noise of The Distillers and [...]
Oh my god, how much do we love this song? It's crazy addictive and super easy to bop along to over and over (trust us, we've spent the last half-hour or so doing just that). The new Brody Dalle solo project, Spinnerette , is all sorts of distorted and grungy pop, a more organic turn for the former Distillers punk-as-fuck-knock-your-teeth- out frontwoman. "Ghetto Love", the first video and first single from the new EP of the same name, was released through the band's website yesterday. (mp3) Spinnerette - Ghetto Love [...]
Have you been wondering lately where Brody Dalle has been since the breakup of The Distillers ? Well, aside from making Josh Homme the happiest man alive, she's been working on her upcoming project Spinnerette with producer Alain Johannes. The album is set to drop early next year but our Video of the Week is this piping hot fresh single "Ghetto Love" . Please enjoy.

SPINNERETTE DEBUT NEW VIDEO, RELEASE EP It's finally here Cannibal Cheerleaders, the new Spinnerette Ghetto Love EP has arrived and none too soon for our ears. It seems that ex-Distiller Brody Dalle has been reincarnated as a nightmarish punk burlesque dancer, wrapped in layers of electronic decadence while still maintaining the poignant and fierce lyricism on which she's built a name. Dead romance, blood mixing with tears, makeup running down one's face, all wrapped in pleather in a smoky, shady bar corner, that is Spinnerette (our kind of band!). Check [...]
