The Sexiest Women of Indie

Ok, today a very different sort of post. Don't take it too seriously. 

Last week, Nerve magazine posted a very peculiar list on their website, "The 10 Sexiest Women in Indie Rock: 2012". I usually wouldn't care (not to say post) about that sort of "issues", but the list has provoked a "seriously" funny discussion with some friends and my girlfriend. So, after a long (kidding) deliberation process, here's mine. As you will see, they are not just beautiful women, but foremost, great indie musicians. They are all artists I like/love. So, let's talk about girls who play guitars (or keyboards, or cellos, or just sing, whatever)!

10. Kate Jackson

The 90's playlist

And another proposal that I turned into a challenge to create a new post. This time came from the adorable Zooey Deschanel's facebook, so it was impossible to say no. It was simple question: what was on your 90's playlist? In no particular order, and just choosing one song per artist, that's how my discman looked like then......Oh memories...
