Here's today's musical diversion: Tegan and Sara.*

I know, what the fuck probably leapt from your mouths. Frequent riders here will have the understanding that more than a few of us really dig chick music. I think of Tegan and Sara as Veruca Salt Lite. So with that, they do not fit our typical chick fancy. There's no lofty vocals, or sexy undertones. At the same time, it's something that I have been spinning lately that I think is worth a drive-by.

The Con is the latest album. But I would not spin that one first. I would recommend going to the one before that, So Jealous. That album is going to be the most digestible and refined, while still retaining the gritty nature of the first album, If It Was You. Then I would play the first. The Con is a departure from the Veruca Salt-type sound and has grown on me some.

You know... when I am in the mood for loud squeaky chicks that are a little rough around the edges.

Dig.
