Music “Tobi Vail Is My Favorite Member of Bikini Kill!!!”

Mike Park, onetime Skankin’ Pickle (is that the first ska reference on this blog?) frontman and Asian Man Records founder, has recorded an ode to Tobi Vail of Bikini Kill.

Park’s song brings up an interesting debate—who was your favorite member of Bikini Kill? Kathleen Hanna? But what about the trainwreck that was the last Le Tigre record? Billy Karren, the mysterious guitar player? Kathi Wilcox? She landed the tall drink of water that is Guy Picciotto, so there’s something to be said for her as well.

Hahaha!Quality.Tobi's my favorite member too :)

I thought the first half of the last Le Tigre was a guilty pleasure, but of course it steadily devolves to the point where the Pointer Sisters cover comes on and then you want to rip out your CD player and throw it out the window.

i loved everyone in bikini kill. kathleen for just being awesome and outspoken. billy because he's great at the gtr and shy. kathi because she's a serious looking grrl. and tobi because tobi owns and is a fucking kick ass drummergtrbasssinger. haha

I read this first thing this morning and just about snorted hot tea out my nose.

Aww, why have a favorite? Cool song!
