We loved loved loved Mary Timony as co-frontwoman, co-lead axe-woman of the late great Wild Flag... Although we are sad as sacks that Wild Flag is no more, we have Ex Hex (and episodes of Portlandia I suppose) to comfort us...
Uh, is it ok if I make a pointless but heartfelt plea for a second Wild Flag album?
I saw them twice - at the Doug Fir in Portland and at the Sasquatch Festival in Washington State, and the scene of Mary and Carrie (she's the fourth Carrie that shows up on Google, following Carrie's Underwood and Fisher, and the movie Carrie) singing and shredding side-by-side was almost too much to handle (in a good way). Not to mention Janet's drumming.
But perhaps the Carrie's success with Portlandia has doomed such a reunion.... and then there was a Rolling Stone article a few months back with Carrie stating something to the effect that she "hated" playing anymore...
Oh well, we'll always have Sasquatch....
