How the internet works

I read superhappytime's post about the hottest ladies in indie rock and, not being up on the latest indie rock chicks I say that I liked the women in Sleater-Kinney but they broke up so they might no longer qualify.

After this I am thinking of Sleater-Kinney, who I used to listen to quite often and I wonder what happened to them, why they broke up and what they are doing now.

I head to wikipedia and look them up.

One of the bits of information I glean there is that Carrie Brownstein now has a blog called Monitor Mix on the NPR website.

I go there and look it over.

I see she talks up a band called Ladyhawk. They are from Canadia. I go to there myspace page and listen to them today while I try to work.

I dig them.

And that is one of the mysterious ways that the internet works to introduce us to new and cool things.
