Notes this week:

• Mass Teen Fainting is my favourite album title of all time;
• The Pretenders: I know it's not a girl group but Chrissy Hynde writes all the songs and there's just not many chicks cooler than her;
• Bonnie Raitt: listen to that song and feel bad about something you didn't even do;
• Juliana Hatfield's Hey Babe record: Try and tell me this record didn't change your 15 year old life forever;
• H.D.G.Y.D: my favourite Nancy Sinatra song ever and easily in my top 10 fave songs of all time.  I want to learn to play the trumpet just so I could play on this song;
• Think you're cooler than Ronnie Spector?  Are you the only vocalist ever to be backed up by all 4 Beatles?  Did Brian Wilson write "Don't Worry Baby" for you specifically?  I didn't think so...
• My Loretta Lynn record is autographed.  That's cool;
• I have more than a little crush on Basia Bulat and she's playing at SXSW;
• My friend Vince put that Lynn Miles song on a birthday CD for me and I can't stop listening to it;
• The Breeders get to end the show because Kim and Kelly Deal are the official holders of the "Most Awesomest Sisters in Rock" title.
