PJ Harvey is the QUEEN! Tori Amos, New Pornographers, gemma hayes, jonatha brooke but sheryl crow?? please-- she just inches away from being britney spears these days! I’ll throw in my band The Locals— but – on a new line here-- because-- the artists mentioned above – well they are just the shiznitiz and I wouldnt dare to compare… THE DONNAs suck ass, if you’ve ever heard them live-- they cant carry a tune in a bucket if their life depended on it-- their sound is COMPLETELY manufactured in the studio— ---

Don’t forget [Otep](http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&uid=MISS70305231234&sql=Blyf2zfd1ehak), who put out an absolutely stunning death metal album last year. Not as heavy, but still very good, is [Poe](http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&uid=MISS70305231234&sql=Bftb8b5b4bsqh), who I haven’t seen mentioned yet. ---

[**Visqueen** effin’ _rawks_](http://www.visqueenonline.com). It’s a trio, two girls and a guy. The guy’s on drums; the other two are bass and guitar. The guitarist is the songwriter and lead singer. And, lest my eloquence was overlooked the first time, they effin’ _rawk._ Come to Seattle at the end of August and you’ll get to see them live at Bumbershoot. ---

Although her latest, self-titled effort has gotten much-undeserved bad press, I would count **Liz Phair** among the better contemporary female artists. Sorry, I can’t use_rawk_ in a sentence. Oh, damn, I just did:D Chris W ---
