Check out my band 'Imma Goose!'

Music! I'm an overworked nurse, who spends a lot of time being tired. So...I have a moment before I go off to sleep again to make a list of music that I feel is worth a listen. Girl version!

Julie Ruin - I Wanna Know What Love Is

'so i'll stay awake almost every night
a pen in my hand and in the other a knife
because i'd rather be scared and fight back
than be some dick's maid, babe or wife
i don't care how we get it but we'll get it someday...'

Kathleen Hanna gone hip-hop-ish? I love her.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Hysteric

'the cinders, the cinders
they light the path
of these strange steps
take us back, take us back
flow sweetly, hang heavy
you suddenly complete me
you suddenly complete me.'

I always listened to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs here and there but the new album is fantastic. Turn it on and dance around.

PJ Harvey - This Mess We're In

'I don't think we will meet again
and you must leave now
before the sunrise
above skyscrapers
the sin and
this mess we're in and
the city sun sets over me.'

Come on, it's PJ mf-ing Harvey.

Rilo Kiley - Close call

'She was born on a brightened pier
to a gypsy mother and a bucket of tears
her good looks coulda sailed a ship
but her will alone coulda sunk it
funny thing about money for sex
you might get rich
but you die by it
it's gonna be a close call
gonna be a close call...'

Jenny is going to be my life partner [or wife if we live in Mass, Connecticut, and now Iowa!] Sigh. Her voice is perfect on this album.

The Be Good Tanyas - When Doves Cry (cover)

'Touch if u will my stomach
feel how it trembles inside
you've got the butterflies all tied up
Don't make me chase you
Even doves have pride...'

I think this cover is all sorts of amazing.

Until next time! Tell girls to play music!
