Happy birthday, June Millington! (b. April 14, 1948)

"I don’t think I came to music. I think music came to me—or was already embedded when I came into this sphere, this realm, this Earth. And that feels really good because it’s part of the fabric that makes me feel a part of everything." (x)

51: Screaming Females // All At Once

All At Once Screaming Females 2018, Don Giovanni (Bandcamp) After 18 hard-touring years and eight LPs, Screaming Females are probably still best known for a Sheryl Crow cover and Marisa Paternoster appearances on greatest guitarist listicles as the token post-Bonnie Raitt lady entry. As perhaps the most reliable live act in indie rock, Paternoster and her band deserve a lot more for their efforts than that. Her Ann Wilson-sized voice could kill a good-sized bird in mid-flight if she aimed it right, and high gain amps follow her around music stores like tame squirrels hoping to be fed. Seeing the Females live though, it’s clear that Mike Abbate, a menhir of a bassist, and platonic-ideal-of-an-alternative-rock-drummer Jarrett Dougherty are just as important to their power. The first time I watched the trio twister through seven head-spinning minutes of “Doom 84” (from 2012’s Ugly), it was as immense a force as I’ve felt a rock band generate.

Every Screaming Females album is good: All At Once just happens to be the one they were touring when they left my jaw literally hanging. At 15 songs and 51 minutes it’s just long enough to press as a double LP, and it might have a tad more impact if they’d’ve dropped two or three songs—but it’s a mark of the record’s quality that I doubt any two listeners would pick exactly the same two or three to cut. It’s also their catchiest record. “I’ll Make You Sorry” dives into pop punk after years of flirtation; “My Body” does happy Sheer Mag as well as Sheer Mag ever has; and the feet-up contentment of “Bird in Space” is about as close as they’ve come to a Ted Leo song.

You might not need every Females LP, but you should probably have at least one. Why not this one?

I have every intention of making a Fanny gifset highlighting June Millington playing slide guitar, but I also have to go with my gut which tells me that more people need to see Jean Millington's power and effort that she puts into Fanny's versions of "Young and Dumb" in the hope that folks will eventually go and listen to it and be equally as blown away.

i heard that youtube is going to start deleting old videos from inactive accounts so I am downloading all of these old videos of J. R. R. Tolkien's Gollum impression just in case, since I see the account they're hosted on hasn't updated in 5 years
