Heartless Bastards

No, not talking about the Bush administration...though the fact that Abu Gonzalez resigned today makes me feel all warm and fuzzy and wishing it was 2001 and he was resigning then. When someone makes you long for the honesty and integrity of John Freakin Ashcroft, he is failing on a widespread level.

No, these Heartless Bastards I'm talking about are one of the bands I've been particularly obsessed with of late. A true rock band, they are led by Erika Wennerstrom, who has a voice like Janis Joplin but in a non-annoying way. (Joplin is on a list with Prince and Bob Dylan as people I know are wholly influential and important and who I never, ever want to listen to. Dylan is the one who I make some exceptions for. If you cared.)

Anyhow, enjoy these tunes by a serious slamming band that should be exploding any day now, if they haven't yet...The Heartless Bastards.

First, a video for their song "All This Time" ...
