Melina's Music Page!!!
Okay okay okay. So I tried to make this page really cool, with pictures and full reviews and stuff of all the artists I like. Thing is, I've been working on it for-ever and it's still not even progressing enough that I can see it. I like too much stuff!!! So here's the new Melina's Music page. They're grouped by style, and there's still really cool pictures so you can see how hot Ani Difranco is and how cool Charlie Minus looks and all. But if you want more info you have to EMAIL ME! I don't bite, I love talking about music, don't be shy. Okay. So here's the new lists. Thanks!
And thanks Jim for asking me to do this, so he always knows what I'm singing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wonderful Women Section
*Ani Difranco
*Indigo Girls
*Dar Williams
*Sarah McLachlan
*Fiona Apple
*Tori Amos
*Rebecca Riots*
*Bird In The Hand*
*Tracy Chapman
I know there are sooooo many amazing women out there. I've left off a bunch, this is a short list of folky chicks that just kick ass. Oh, and if you want to know more about Rebecca Riots and Bird In the Hand, look at the bottom of this page, past the links. Okay. Keep reading.

Jazz and Blues Singers Section
*Ella Fitzgerald
*Billie Holiday
*Nina Simone
*Bessie Smith
*Sarah Vaughn
*Lambert Hendricks and Ross
All these people are great. LH&R are more contemporary, and they're swinging. But Ella holds a dear place in me, so take a moment of silence and remember her.

Jazz and Blues Section
*Charles Mingus
*Louis Armstrong
*Charlie Parker
*Fats Waller
*Joshua Redman (went to my HS!)
*Benny Goodman
*Dizzy Gellespie
Again, I'm forgetting people. But as a jazz dancer, Mingus is my alltime favorite. Toe tapping beats and rhythms, and you should hear his bass solos. Whooo!

Salt N' Peppa
The Pharcyde
Emmy Lou Harris
Kermit! (Muppets rock!)
Speaking of the Pharcyde...I know I haven't made the hip-hop/rap section of this page, but the Pharcyde is the BOMB! You need to check them out if you even just kinda like rap. To learn more about this CA-based group, check out Marian's phatty Pharcyde Page. Awesome page, and Marian is hella cool too. :)
When you see my talking listen to what I'm not saying
I never avert my eyes, I never compromise, so never mind the poetry
And I wonder, do you miss your old friends
I've played the powerless in too many dark scenes
You'll look like a photograph of yourself, taken from far far away
