Music makes the world go around. Wait, or is it love? Oh, damn, I think it’s actually money. Whatever, close enough. Music can lift us up. It can inspire, transform, enlighten. Heck, it can just make us feel like tapping our toes. And, if we’re really lucky, it’s sung by hotties wearing tank tops. What? Just because music is deep doesn’t mean I can’t be shallow. So with that I give you Tank Top Tuesday: Music Edition. Everyone loves a rock star.
Missy Higgins, “Steer”
Did I ever tell you about how I met Missy earlier this year after one of her shows? She was very sweet and very, very pretty. Hey, don't be jealous. Actually, no, totally be jealous. [Hat tip, Ching!]

I have no idea what she is saying. Good thing “wet tank top” needs no translation. [Hat tip, Grinmistress!]

L.P., “Good With You/Cling To Me”
It's like Shane and Slash had a curly-haired lovechild.
What can I say, I'm a sucker for a gal who stops by to say “hi.” Plus, gosh, that “Wasted” song sounds awfully familiar.

ReplyDeleteLOL!
;)) babsf
Yay tank tops.. Missy Higgins has to be the cuttest of this particular tuesday delivery.
ReplyDeleteAs far as my spanish goes, Bebe sings about her tiny body, slowly turning into a river or something, the rain that will leave her wet, the voice of the sea, a flower that grows inside of her, and a bunch of other stuff that don't make much sense to me...
Does it really matter ?
This was awesome. Tank tops *and* rock stars?! Swoon.
ReplyDelete(But this one is probably still my favorite tank top Tuesday. It's all about Mary-Louise and her man pants.)
Missy Higgins is so great...and even greater in a tank top.
ReplyDeleteWell, I am jelous, so there :)
ReplyDeleteI've got such a big crush on Missy Higgins.
Ooops, forgot the a in jealous.
ReplyDeletenice...nice...
ReplyDeleteKaki King is absolutely amazing. She's a 5'1" powerhouse of musical magic (ever seen her play the drums?!)... okay, AND hot. AND gay. Perfect.
ReplyDeleteTwo words. Melissa Ferrick.
ReplyDeleteShe has an awesome voice, and looks damn good in a tank too!

Bebe sings a bitter-sweet song about loosing the love of your life and surviving... I'll try to translate:
ReplyDeletehow can I explain
that you break in 1000 pieces
the corners of my bones
That there are fallen the schemes of my life
now, when everything was perfect
and something more, you blow my mind
and the gravity protects this little body of mine, that's becoming river
Its hard to open my eyes
and I do it slowly
in case i find you close,
i keep your memories as the best secret,
how sweet it was to have you inside me,
there is a piece of light in this darkness,to borrow me serenity,
time heals everything,
The tempest and the calmness...
[refrain]
I'll always have
the soft voice of the seas
breathe again
the rain that will fall down over this body and it will wet
the flower that grows in me
and i'll laugh again
and everyday, for a second, i'll think of you again and in the soft voice of the seas (etc...)
I'll always have
Oh I love Brandi Carlile... tank top or not, she's a great musician... and good looking as we can see
ReplyDeleteAre you sure you didn't steal my iPod before writing this post? You have an excellent taste in music Ms. Snarker! :)
ReplyDeleteHurray for Kaki. I can't wait to check out all these other women I haven't heard before. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAmanda
bebe ambiguous lyrics could talk about a deep relationship with a woman, about an abortion
ReplyDeleteand even the sensation of the heroin..even about what she felt when she ate the last bic mac before became vegetarian
Im on shirley manson tank top version 2.0 tour( and looking forward for the role on "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" next season )
....what about one of rosin murphy ?!?!?!?/
the depths of my crush on brandi carlile cannot be reached. very nice.
ReplyDeleteIn among the fantabulous pics of tanks, tats and nips...I do enjoy your conversational style of writing...along with the good punchline that causes me to need to clean my screen yet again. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, Missy Higgins. Make sweet amore to me. Please. Sigh.
ReplyDeletePS She's amazing live - her piano skills are wonderful. Dainty, er, fingers.
Ahn... Dorothy... I enjoyed the videos very much. L.P. indeed looks like Shane and Slash's lovechild. But I believe there's Bernadette Peters in there somewhere...
ReplyDeleteOh! I didn't know that our Missy Higgins had been successful in the US! She's the biggest female talent in Aus at the moment. Just love that she sings with her accent!
ReplyDeleteThere was "controversy" (if you can call it that, pfft) about her song "The Special Two" when it was released. Apparently it was written about/for her lesbian lover...and the only evidence to support this claim? Well the lyrics contain no pronouns to indicate that she's singing about a male. Thought you might find that interesting.
Queeny.
PS. Yes, yes, excellent taste in music Ms Snarker.
