banky's Journal: pretty riot grrrrl

I was listening to 'Boombox' on Sirius, when some dopey synthpop thing came on. Catchy, I guess, pretty bubblegum sounding. Hey wait a minute. Is that Kathleen Hanna?

Got home, quick search. Yeah, 'Le Tigre' is her new band. It's mostly lo-fi synthpop, reasonably catchy, and of course it's all political and stuff ("womynism" and all that).

But I watched the video for the single, and ... holy crap. Looks like ol' Kathleen has decided to reinvent herself, and she's ... pretty hot. Damn.

I guess you had to live through the riot grrl 'movement' to get how Kathleen looking superfine is ... odd. (For those playing at home, Kathleen Hanna is who Courtney Love spent the majority of her career pretending to be; it was Kathleen who said to Kurt Cobain, "You smell like Teen Spirit", or so the story goes)
