I've been listening to a lot of 10,000 Maniacs lately. Older stuff, though. To me, they aren't the 10,000 Maniacs without Natalie Merchant.
I've also been listening to
The Gore Gore Girls a lot. They sound like a mixture between The Ronettes and The Rolling Stones. They're really, really good. My current favorite songs of theirs are "Astral Man," "Casino" and "Up All Night." And then there's a bunch of Hole songs off of "Live Through This" that I looooove. And then there's "Art Star" by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
You know what? If I had to pick a favorite song at the moment, it'd be "C'mon C'mon" by The Von Bondies. Woot.
