, but it does help to point out how these kind of songs contribute to the objectification of women that is so prevalent in the modern music world, and she probably views it as even worse when a woman is the purveyor of the message.

I agree that there are songs that contribute to the objectification of women, however, I get a kick out of this song, as I said, I think it has enough "wink" factor that it almost seems like a parody itself..

hi Davey.. hey have you heard Silversun Pickups? They're right up you're alley, sort of a mixup of Snowpony and Autolux.. don't know much about them.. but I've heard a few songs and immediately thought "this is something Davey would dig" - Slosh too, if yer listening..

Can't really disagree, the BEP seem like a parody act all the time to me, kind of like the Village People. No one takes them seriously, but I still think Alanis' version is better than Fergie's, just because I think the latter is just too annoying. And I do kind of like Alanis, at times, and she did put it out coinciding with April Fools Day, although I think she missed by a few hours, but I'm not sure she was aiming at any high-brow social commentary as some suggest. She does seem to have a pretty good sense of humor if you've ever seen her in concert or on a talk show or in the movies playing God

Think I've listened to those guys before. Can't remember, but sounds really familiar. Thanks, I'll check it out.

edit: Oh yea, early Smashing Pumpkins. Nice, but don't all their songs kinda sound the same. Love the video for the Kissing song, the bass girl is pretty funny, and they do make a pretty good ruckus at the end ...



I did happen to listen partway to one of their newer songs and it kind of sucks, just sounds irritating to me, constant audio level and totally compressed to the max, no hint of a musical nuance ...
