Mother's day has inspired my latest blog post to feature some of my favourite rockin moms, starting with no other then the mother of college rock (and two kids), Kim Deal! Here she is blasting out Hey, beautiful bassline and great backing vocals by an inspirational mother for us all. "I'm chainnnnedddd, chainnnnedddd"
She may not be a mom physically, but I'm sure she will be soon. I also just really like this song... here is Ms. Alexis Krauss of Sleigh Bells tearing up one of their tunes "Ring Ring". This band is gonna be BIG soon ladies and gentlemen watch out.
Ring Ring
From Alison we go to the other 90s bass playing Kim, Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth. The OG bad girl rocker is not only one of the most iconic punk/college players of the past twenty years but also is a thoughtful fashionista who created her own clothing line. Her mission? As she puts it,
“there’s a need for clothes for cool moms.”
Plus she was on Gossip Girl for like 12 seconds once. WOW. Check her one line! on the show.
And to cap off our Mom's who rock post, we head back to the '60s to one Swedish women (before she was a mother) who defined "cool collaborations". This is Nico with the Velvet Underground on the lovely song Femme Fatale. check it out people, shes a femmme fatale...
"All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel Mother."
-- Abraham Lincoln
till next time...
EDIT: COURTNEY LOVE WAS LEFT OFF THIS LIST PURPOSELY, SHE KILLED KURT (PROBABLY)
