Happy birthday to Brody Dalle!

yeah its a rad album too. much more raw :)

They're my favorite, fuck. Brody was my biggest crush for so long.

It's cool that those albums can do things for you. I don't think I can sit through three or four of her songs in a row anymore. They don't do anything for me. Then again I find myself constantly skipping songs when I listen to my rancid cds anymore. For me there's just so much more appealing music out there now.

Tim's never confirmed it but they last toured here in 1998

I dunno, man. I watch a lot of NFL nowadays.

I just never got the appeal of Dalle. A female Armstrong that used his resources, fronted a project full of paid session/touring musicians, only to leave someone for better resources/money and change their sound entirely.

I had to listen to the Distillers discography, the production on a technical level for the pre-Sire stuff is on the exact same level as Rancid's stuff, even to the extent that they kick in the drums or some kind of vocal effect during a guitarline introduction /slightly/ sooner than other bands might have.

After sire, you get clear vocal lines, less emphasis on split channel effects, more interest in musicianship.

It's also worth mentioning that Armstrong and her met at 15 (literally 3 days before her age-of-consent birthday at the Summersault Melbourne - 29 December 1995) which is sketchy as hell.
