getting my bloggin muscles back in shape

- I've been in the market for a rename for a while. I think I had a post about it, even. my LJ will eventually become doitninetimes. my dw will remain drunkoffthestars.

- I need to stop staying up till 2am and sleeping in till 10.

- Ladymusic!

I am in the process of putting together a ALL LADIES ALL THE TIME playlist out of all the music in my itunes. Suggestions of your favorite lady artists more than welcome! The Rule That Governs Playlist Inclusion mandates that a lady has to be doing the singing. In the case of instrumental tracks, the lady has to be doing the playing. In the case of Classical tracks, the lady has to be the primary soloist or the composer. I was listening to a bunch of new stuff from my recent music-binge, and I realized that most of it is dudes doing some music-making, and I am pretty into it when ladies make music too.

This playlist can only end in hilarity as my iTunes library includes Avril Lavigne, Brittney Spears, The Hush Sound, Dolly Parton, Le Tigre, and Hillary Hahn! Also, a lot of dudes who sound like ladies, so finding out who is actually doing the singing will be EXCITING!

Don't forget the classics! Like, Ella Fitzgerald is a must. I have this awesome live version of her doing "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)" with Duke Ellington &co. where she's a) a complete scat badass and b) occasionally cracking up at the band's antics, it's SO GOOD.

I'll second Kaki King (who is also an incredibly nice person in addition to her guitar skillz).

I think I actually have a Kaki King song, randomly.

You might have to send me the Ella Fitzgerald one!
