Rock Chick
Ok, have to make this a quick post as I'm running out of time on my ticket.
Yesterday I was browsing the racks of CDs in Sainsbury's and happened upon a compilation called 'Rock Chick' supposedly filled with seminal female rock anthems. Indeed, Pat Benatar and Patti Smith were on there (although the Benatar track was 'We Belong' which is one of her least rock-y tracks) but also on the CD were Natalie Imbruglia (???) and, get this, Celine fucking Dion!? Celine Dion rock? My arse! Who the fuck compiles this shit? Where are Heart? The Donnas? Hole? Evanescence?
Admittedly the number of female rock bands/singers there are would probably only fit one CD but surely that's not enough justification for putting Celine Dion on there? Acgh!

Celine Dion is the anti-Christ. She should be shot for ruining women's music for eternity. A Rock Cd with Celine on is an offence. Sue the record company, sue Sainsburys and gag Celine.
What about Yeah Yaeh Yeahs. Karen is that group and she's absolutely fab. Melissa Van der Auf and Charlotte Hatherley. And my fav Brody from the Distillers.
and was avril lavigne on the CD as well ? horror of horrors ...
Eek, very probably. Can I sue the producers of this pap under the Trades Description Act?
