Meg White

"I think she’s one of the best drummers of our time.” —Olivia Rodrigo

That's from an article on Elle about Meg White.

I agree. Her drumming - especially live - was just perfect. Not more or less than it needed to be, every time. And what a massive sound just Meg and Jack could make together.

The whole article is good, if all second or third hand, because Meg White doesn't do interviews.

And damn, I still miss the White Stripes. They were just amazing, album after album after album.

Bjork in the New York Times Magazine

Bjork is releasing a new album (actually, the mp3s seem to already be available). The NYT did a profile of her:

The Peculiar Genius of Bjork

Of course, I'm getting that album. I got into Bjork via the video for "It's Oh So Quiet" off of her second solo album. I wasn't a big Sugarcubes fan (still not, really), but when I saw that video I went out and purchased both Debut and Post. I haven't looked back from there. They could pretty much mail me any non-remix new CD of Bjork's like a subscription. I'm going to want it, and even if I don't really bond with the album I want to listen to it at least a few times.

She's someone who really deserved the term unique - there isn't anyone out there quite like her.
