Not so much in terms of musical skill, but after reading an interview with her...

It started off with this question

Who did you listen to as a young teenager? Queen. Non-stop, every day, always.


And then went on til I read this one.

What was your worst moment onstage? The same one that still I dream about sometimes. The nightmare of being unprepared and not knowing how a song goes. Sadly, it's happened on more than one occasion. Ugh. What could have been a terrible time - when my fierce, radically feminist, in-your-face band was booked at a Fundamentalist Christian college and the entire front row stood up and turned their backs on us so we were faced with a wall of jackets reading "Jesus is MY rock" turned awesome when we cranked up and played our song "It's Gotta Be Sodomy" as loudly and proudly as we could.

Fucking :love:!

Who does she play with?

BETTY. They're a DC area band with three women as the core. If you know them, it's probably from Encycplopedia or the L Word, both of which they've done music for.

Yeah I heard some of their stuff on the L Word. Not a fan.

Most of their stuff on there is rather atypical.

The theme they did for season 1 was probably the most typical, but then, considering they do everything from a capella to punk, it's hard to really nail them.

I really, really, really hate the theme song.

That part where it starts going like "Living Laughing Learning" whatever just makes me wanna kill.

I don't even think I have that song.

And I don't get Showtime, so I don't watch it.

I love Betty 3 and Carnival.

Actually, I should rapidshare some of the stuff I like most. In case anyone gives a shit.
