Can't really defend RS, but these kinds of pieces show how shitty guitar magazines are at spotlighting adventurous and innovative players.

Good interview. She seems on the surface that she would not be the player she is. Kind of a diminutive, nerdy looking lady. But her playing is so aggressive and out there.

I'm not reading anything from Rolling Stone.

That said, thanks to this thread, I'm listening to her new album, Meltframe, and I really dig it.

Don't bother with the reading, but check out the vid. She plays and talks!
