So smitten. Maybe it's only because rock'n'roll is the one thing that really wakes up the passion in me, but physically, nothing's much more attractive than a girl who's just rocking out with abandon. Yeah? Nah? It's probably just me.

That tune has been stuck in my head since I watched the video, and I don't even speak Magyar.

I have some great pictures of me and my band in my rocking out days that I would love for you to see so you could be smitten (hee), but alas, they are un-digital...

Also: there's nothing hotter than a chick bass player.

Who is that chick?

posted by jonmc 13 November | 14:14

Agreed. She is a cutie-pie.

posted by Hellbient 13 November | 14:16

Check out Tankcsapda, too, they're great in a sort of Motorhead-Bad Religion-their own kind of thing kind of way. Exhibits 1 and 2. Watch out, that 2nd one is also fiercely catchy.

No. Girl bass players are hotter than girl guitar players.

But who is the girl in the desktop image dammit!

posted by richat 13 November | 14:29

The desktop pics are stills from a video. Afaik, she's just "some girl". Some girl!

posted by Wolfdog 13 November | 14:30

Kim Deal, ladies and gents. Kim effin' Deal.

I hate to be contentious, Wolfdog, but the girl in that video seems much more like a girl acting the part of "girl rocking out in bedroom" for a music video than, you know, a girl genuinely rocking out with abandon.

posted by cortex 13 November | 14:34

Agreed, actually, but it's good enough to whet the imagination.

posted by Wolfdog 13 November | 14:35

I still say my girls destroy them all:

Fair enough. Of whetting I cannot but approve.

*goes back to thinking about Kim Deal*

posted by cortex 13 November | 14:43

*whets self*

posted by jonmc 13 November | 14:45

I just did a post on my site a few days ago about female bassists and how hot they are. LF did not approve. I think she should learn bass. She's already got the hot down cold.

posted by sciurus 13 November | 14:45

Better yet
Let's all get whet

posted by cortex 13 November | 14:46

But everybody hates the bass player. No one invites the bass player to the party after the show.

Even better, a You Tube link.

As far as female guitarists go, JFJ rules them all.

why do all these girls remind me of Poison/Foreigner/Whatever or Jon Bon Jovi?

posted by stynxno 13 November | 15:11

Girlschool reminds you of Poison et al? We are sooo gonna have to work on your musical education, kid.

posted by jonmc 13 November | 15:12

the look, not the music.

posted by stynxno 13 November | 15:16

I agree with cortex. Kim effin' Deal. I suspect it's the smile and the cigarette.

posted by muddgirl 13 November | 15:22

I dunno, in this pic they look more like a female Ramones of Motorhead than any hair band.

and aren't we all forgetting the immortal Wendy O.?

Also, yes. Kim effin' Deal, indeed.

Kim D and Chrissie are fine, but Kelly, Kim M and Wendy would so make them their bitch.

Liz Phair's main appeal rests in that she's a cheerleader looking chick who talks about fucking.

posted by jonmc 13 November | 23:11

Yeah, but Liz Phair's first album makes all the guys' dick hard with one line and then, with the next, causes their nuts to suck up into their body like a little boy trying to crawl back into their mother.

The only answer I can ever come up with for "celebrity you most resemble" is Kim Deal.
