Riot Grrrl Thurrrsday

I'm very excited about this week's Riot Grrrl. I've mentioned Alison Mosshart before. I've always liked The Kills. When their album Midnight Boom came out a little over a year ago there was song called Black Balloon and I thought, "Cool, they did a Goo Goo Dolls cover, this should be good." Wrong, but what I got was even better.

This week, The Kills released a new EP featuring Black Balloon and two new songs. The best part of this re-release? The new video for Black Balloon.



In my first post I talked about having a weird set of interests. I love this video because it manages to bring several of those widely disparate interests together. Beautiful girl, sick voice, alternative music, and last but not least vampires. So. awesome. I have no words, only swooning.

So pretty...look at those lips!

Wait...something's not right....

She's a vampire.

Even hotter. Don't care if that's not right.

Who wants sunshine when you've got The Dead Weather?

A team of rivals...okay not so much rivals as contemporaries. Alison Mosshart of the Kills in the new Jack White band The Dead Weather.

Her vocals are just sick, I love it. Her work as part of the duo The Kills was extraordinary. She reminds me of the best women rockers of the 80's like Joan Jett. And I guess Jack White doesn't suck too.
