This compilation is fan-fuggin'-tastic! It starts out with a sad song about the brutalities of hate crimes (from the band Lugosi), then balances with an uplifting track from Le Tigre.
The POWERFUL Amy Ray sings a raucous rendition of "Lucy Stoners", a live track with is just breath-taking. Not to be outdone, Kiki & Herb do up Sleater-Kinney's "I'm Not Waiting", which is just fabulous! S-K themselves contribute a live version of their own "Ballad of a Ladyman", where Corrin croons "If I got a rock, I'd rather be a LADY, man!"
Ms. Vaginal Davis belts out "Cherries In The Snow" with the band PME, and the song will just blow you away in all it's fearless glory.
There are many wonderful tracks on the cd, but my FAVORITE remains the standout, "Safe Harbors" by the band Navy, whom pleads "I'm dreaming of safe harbors..."
And don't we all? I am straight but not narrow, and in this world, we need to accept and love every human, no matter our differences. Do yourself a favor and track this cd down. It is worth every penny!
