CORRECTION: FOR THIS INSTALLMENT IT SHALL BE TITLED: CHICKS WITH BIGGER GEMS THAN YOU!! (and some guys…) I have always been a fan of the various bastard genres of hip-hop, particularly those that tickle my geek. Over the last couple of years I’ve been following the career of Leslie Hall who has created her own fusion [...]

Janis was on the Dick Cavett show quite a few times, this is one of my favorite videos from those appearances.  There are a lot of performance videos out there and there are a lot of interviews, but not much unique material.  This is Janis, with the improvisational group The Committee performing a piece called [...]

Ahhh…the internet.  Where people of all countries, races and creeds come to semi-anonymously share, interact, learn…and create YouTube cover videos. Here are some of my all time favorite Mercedes Benz covers: There is something about the juxtaposition of this man and his ukelele that get’s me excited in my YouTube place.  It’s also possible that I just [...]

I think it’s also a proper forum to celebrate other Chicks with Bigger Balls Than You. Let me introduce you to Tanya Tagaq Gillis, a contemporary Inuit throat singer.  She creates fire, sex, pleasure, longing, [...]

So recently Janis has been making what I’d like to call a “pop-culture comeback” which is undoubtedly awesome. There are people singing songs she made famous, with some regularity, on shows like America’s Got Talent, American Idol and I even saw Meatlof’s daughter, Pearl Aday, sing one on Don’t Forget the Lyrics. Yet there are some very [...]

I was peeking around YouTube today and really enjoyed watching this interview of Janis on the Dick Cavett show June 25, 1970 right before her high school reunion.
