Looking forward to answers; onlist would be more fun of course, but offlist is okay if you prefer. Expectantly, Andy (1) What would you ask Edward Lay and Chris Urbanowicz of Editors if you just have 15 minutes with them? (2) Same for Orlando Weeks of The Maccabees (3) Who are the ten greatest female bass players of all time? Their best albums? ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 4 Dec 2009 13:42:31 -0700 From: Roger Winston Subject: Re: [loud-fans] A few indie-pop (and beyond) questions to ponder On Fri, Dec 4, 2009 at 1:13 PM, Andrew Hamlin wrote: (1) What would you ask Edward Lay and Chris Urbanowicz of Editors if > you just have 15 minutes with them? > Are they most influenced by Joy Division, Kitchens of Distinction, or Interpol?

I think he mentions her specifically in the 1977 and 1978 "Music: What Happened?" write-ups (so, maybe "More Songs About Buildings and Food"?).

I agree with this, and obviously Carol Kaye (who played on a zillion 60s hits) must be on any such list. Other names that are springing to mind are Tal Wilkenfeld, Me'Shell Ndegeocello, Esperanza Spalding, Sara Lee, and Georgie Born, although I've only listened to the last two to any extent. - -- Tim Walters | http://doubtfulpalace.com ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 4 Dec 2009 21:18:58 EST From: AWeiss4338@aol.com Subject: Re: [loud-fans] A few indie-pop (and beyond) questions to ponder My vote is all of them, and add Kim Gordon.
