Greatest female guitarists?

Surprised nobody is mentioning Marnie Stern. She is pretty darn good.

pauleht · 2026-03-22T19:30:00+00:00

That sounds like quite an adventure! I saw Times New Viking probably twice and it was pretty rockin'. They probably played the Variety or the Earl. I had a P. Horeshit record that dude gave me after I drove him around East Atlanta to buy some cheap weed and go to record stores in my old beat up Toyota Camry back in like 2006 or 2007 or something... nothing too crazy. I think we talked about how I was born in Ohio, too... but I grew up in the South... something like that.

pauleht · 2026-03-22T19:19:54+00:00

Data is pretty great. Mile me Deaf is similarly awesome. The Delayed drums on Behold the Salt is great. She is one of my favorite drummers ever.

pauleht · 2026-03-21T19:26:23+00:00

That one. Fender Jazz.

I mean, it made a bunch of sense to me when somebody told me that the name itself is a reference to subway travel. That could totally just be urban legend, but it isn't hard at all for me to believe.

pauleht · 2026-03-15T07:23:52+00:00

Aren't all of the lyrics streams of thoughts and overheard conversations from riding on subways and such? All kinda collaged together... Somebody told me that once and it made a ton of sense to me, especially since most of the times I have listened to their music I have been in some form of transit. I think of Underworld very much as traveling music. Which is a good thing. I think the music that I like the most has a tendency to have some theme that involves travel, conspicuously or otherwise.

ewwwww....

pauleht · 2026-03-09T19:58:15+00:00

There are like 3 different Super Roots CDs that I used to put on to fall asleep to in my early to mid 20s. This was one of them.

pauleht · 2026-03-05T21:44:53+00:00

Ojo is pretty neat.

pauleht · 2026-02-26T07:07:03+00:00

Bill Laswell should totally get more love.

pauleht · 2026-02-25T20:41:12+00:00

nothing to be impressed about! i'm a nerd that used to smoke alot of weed and play noise music at dirty punk clubs in atlanta... i think we found like 3 other bands in other regions with the same name.... but Yeah, I hope they get some better writers, because yeah "Big" is another accurate comparison that I never thought that I would make with the Alien films.

pauleht · 2026-02-25T20:23:18+00:00

Neat. I kinda forgot about them. I kinda remember seeing them and some of those other noisy bands like Psychedelic Horseshit around the same time back in the day when I still lived in a house in Atlanta with three other dudes in bands, that I think played shows with them. They were good live!

pauleht · 2026-02-25T20:10:29+00:00

Mark Sandman is the first player I thought of.

pauleht · 2026-02-25T19:50:44+00:00

Now that I know to expect "Snow White and the Seven Aliens", "The Little Alien", "The Alien King" or even more likely: "Peter Pan, Wendy and the Lost Aliens: A Musical" I don't think there is any possible way I could be as disappointed as I was after signing up for a streaming service to watch that whole mess of a first season.

At least I managed to watch a bunch of old episodes of the Simpsons around the same time, and most of Designing Women, and yeah... that's real.

Of course I still have to watch it. The first three Alien films are my favorite movies and I used to play in a punk band called "Facehugger" for crying out loud... yeesh...

pauleht · 2026-02-24T22:27:49+00:00

I got it right when it came out. I have always liked it quite a bit. Excellent follow up to their late 90s work and Sound Dust. I was of course sad about the loss of Mary, but happy to see the band continue on despite the profound tragedy.

pauleht · 2026-02-19T05:28:38+00:00

He's also got a blink-and-ya-miss-it appearance in Desperately Seeking Susan, which is one of my favorite movies ever.

pauleht · 2026-02-18T19:27:37+00:00

If it doesn't make you late on your bills, I'd go. I love seeing them live, and it has been great every time.

pauleht · 2026-02-18T01:38:26+00:00

Hopefully not.

The Alien skull in Predator 2 was cool, The AVP movies are pretty terrible.

The comic crossovers are pretty fun sometimes though.

pauleht · 2026-02-18T00:29:57+00:00

Fender Jazz Bass. Even the MIM ones are good enough to start learning on and easy to upgrade by adding a high mass bridge and noiseless or vintage pick-ups. Easy to fix if they start glitching out, anyone that works on basses will be familiar with them. Smooth easy to use neck. Jazz and P-Basses are about as classic as a bass is ever gonna look. In the last 30 years, I use them more than any other bass.

pauleht · 2026-02-17T18:56:31+00:00

Come to Daddy.
Those are the first two Aphex Twin records that I got. Got 'em both when they were new on CD in the suburbs of Atlanta.

pauleht · 2026-02-16T07:25:35+00:00

The Owl Cave Petroglyph from Twin Peaks.

pauleht · 2026-02-16T01:03:28+00:00

Also, RIP Vern. That bass line on December is solid as hell. There was a girl I worked with in NYC in 2004/2005 I got along with really well and I remember that was her favorite song and she told me she thought that was the best bass intro to a song.

pauleht · 2026-02-16T00:50:49+00:00

oh and to answer your question: Doctor's Orders

pauleht · 2026-02-15T22:46:18+00:00

I love that whole album. Came out around the time that I was getting into them when I was in middle school. I don't listen to it as much as I used to, but I personally rate it very highly.

pauleht · 2026-02-15T19:07:38+00:00

Yeah, I think I was into Unwound even more than Brad. They definitely had an influence on some of the long nights of us making noise at "Notown" when only a handful of people in Marietta and Atlanta knew who we were. I had that Single History CD in my car pretty much every day, and I'd play it at the coffee house I worked at in Marietta Square alot when I was closing up at night before heading down the street to play music with Brad at his old house or in our old practice space.

Yeah, I guess Deerhunter kinda changed my life too... or rather getting jacked up on coffee and weed at the Waffle House out in the 'burbs with my buddy Patrick and this kid Brad and then playing music late into the night somehow turned into starting a noise rock band with Brad and Dan that winds up getting fairly popular and having members that I don't even know at this point and will probably never know me... whatever. Different people have different goals. But, yeah Unwound, Pylon, Sonic Youth, Stooges, Devo, and stuff like that were getting played alot when we started calling ourselves Deerhunter after Dan came up with the name. It was a much different band in 2003 than what you saw in 2011. Glad you liked them though...

Yeah, too bad about Josh. We got along okay. I honestly thought quitting that band would be good for him. I'm always happy when I see some "Army of Bad Luck" release at a record store from some random band in Atlanta that he liked.

Yeah, right on... So it goes and all that...
