Title: Melissa Auf der Maur

Anyone else a fan? She used to be the bassist for Hole, and now has a solo career. Her first album seemed to get alright reviews but I think it's got a lot of great songs on it. :yes: Two favourites of mine are Lightning Is My Girl (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySUXy5BBqRs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySUXy5BBqRs)) and Beast Of Honor (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWCmbV6Pm6o (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWCmbV6Pm6o)).

Her new album, Out Of Our Minds, is pretty good too. It's supposed to be a concept album but that doesn't put me off. :P (Follow the Map - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0KfhTXPwSA (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0KfhTXPwSA))

Hopefully it won't be another six year gap until her next album. :peace:

She was a member on Smashing Pumpkins too. She's great, I remember watching a video of her solo album here on MTV Brasil and people were all amazed because she's also pretty. :)

She's been a long time favorite of mine, "Followed The Waves" from her debut solo record is great:

^Another good one (aside from the "I'm gonna shuffle his deck clean" parts, they sound a bit weird). Her first album really is good. A lot of reviews seem lukewarm though. Phillistines!

OOOM came out in March. I assume it's been released everywhere. Definitely worth checking out. :yes:
