Something I just discovered: LILITH FAIR IS BACK, BITCHES! Yeah, I'm a little late on the uptake, but I'm okay with that.
It was a music festival celebrating women in music back in the late '90s. Think, Sarah McLachlan, Lisa Loeb, Fiona Apple, Indigo Girls, Sheryl Crow, and other female musicians and bands who aren't really relevant to music today.
As I grew up on Tori Amos and Fiona Apple and other female-led acts, I am ridiculously excited for this event. And they're coming to Chicago! And Philadelphia, for those of you from Pennsylvania. The majority, I'd guess.
I'd love it if Jonatha Brooke, Tegan and Sara, and Beth Hart show up. Who do you hope plays at Lilith Fair 2010? Do you think the Spice Girls will reunite (again) to play there?

I just want to see me some Fiona.
ReplyDeleteI'VE BEEN A BAD BADDDDDDDDDDDD GURLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
or maybe Tori. I seriously wet myself upon seeing this.
This festival will be AMAZING. I'd kill to see it.
ReplyDeleteBut only if they don't recycle acts from +10 years ago. (Has Sarah McLachlan done anything in the last decade? No? Well...)
do you like the new t&s record?
ReplyDeletehere's my picks:
ReplyDeleteBeach House, Annie (!!! REACHING OUTTTT), Tori Amos, Nellie McKay, Joanna Newsom, Sally Shapiro, Sons and Daughters, The Duke Spirit, The Gossip, Anna Ternheim, Hello Saferide, Fiona Apple, Rilo Kiley/Jenny Lewis, No Doubttttt (haha in a perfect world), Florence + the Machine, Sia, Emiliana Torrini, Neko Case, St. Vincent, Amanda Palmer/Dresden Dolls, Shirley Manson/Garbage, Sofia Talvik, Lykke Li, Vivian Girls, Jolie Holland, Feist, Emily Haines...
I think I'm aiming for the stars here haha. I think I might go though....
mmorbo, I haven't heard the new t&s album yet. have you? is it any good? should I bother with it?
ReplyDeleteI 100% looove your list Brittany. Flo/Fiona/SHIRLEYYYYYY/Sia/Annie/Nellie (love her!)/and maybe Elly Jackson solo. But really I'd love any of them. This has the potential to be AMAZING. Females in music have progressed LIGHT YEARS since the last time Lilith Fair was around...
mmh I don't really like the new album (just the last song), I think I can now detox.
ReplyDeleteadd Basia Bulat and Scout Niblett to the list (Mirah, Shannon Wright, Jenny Owen Youngs would be nice too) and I'll gladly come swimming through the Pacific
