Lesbian Folksingers: S & D

I'm thinking particularly of the Olivia mob, the more shrill and PC the better. Dungarees yes, make-up no! Bonus points for being really explicit about what they 'get up to' as well!

Also, why do gay men always play piano, while gay women always play acoustic guitars? What's that about?

Let no penis come between us! (A line so good that Spike Lee stole it for Jungle Fever!)

Other than Phranck, can't think of any. And Phranck was a bit ass, no?

Maura put a file up on FilePile a couple of weeks ago by CWA called "Only Straight Girls Wear Dresses". I don't know if they are folksingers or not but it was really lesbian, phew cor blimey.

i like bits of ani, some of dar williams songs are breathtaking in there beauty ,phrnac does the chris isaak schtik better then chris isaak and is revising the lesbian tupperwear part. ( closeted dykes, including daughters of billitis would use sell tupperwear as an excuse/ cover to socialize in a house full of woman.) , racing thru my mind i can not think of anymore i really really like.

Dayna Kurtz isn't a lesbian but a lotta her Lower East Side fans are. Her songs are fucking gorgeous, especially when heard in person, in a tiny room full of people keeping suhc a respectful silence that you could hear a pin drop.

Dave Q Takes Back the Night!

Phranc is always having tupperware parties at friend's houses. She's quite the pushy little saleslady. I can arrange an IL* Tupperware Party if you all fly out to LA. How 'bout it?

I once saw Phranc open for the Smiths in NY. I actually heard some moron say, "This dude fuckin' sucks!" As for me, I much prefer Phranc's angy songs to her cutesy-wutesy cuddledyke crap ones. The song about her brother's murder is particularly good. Actually, "Lifelover" is nice and corny. She played it my best friend's memorial service.

I used to have an Olivia compilation, but I gave it away when I moved to LA. There was a song called "Ode to My High School Gym Teacher" that was a real gutbuster. And a rather more intentionally humorous song called "The Leaping Lesbians" that featured a shrill chorus of gals squealing "We are the lesbians! The leaping lesbians!" It was so lame, it really was very funny.

Sorry, no "Sugar Walls" moments, as far as I can recall.

Seach: Holly Near's appeance on the Partridge Family as Keith's opponent in the race for student body president. Laurie managed her campaign.

I have a few Fanny albums. They're no Runaways, that's for sure. I think one of them went on to granola dyke acclaim.

Can't say smack about Kaia by herself, but with the Butchies (her rock group) (and this is live), she was TERRIBLE. Insufferably bland over-long punk rock that all the ladiez went ga-ga over/for/with; I was wincing the entire time. For founding Mr. Lady Records, though, she has my eternal gratitude. (THE MOVES!!)
