Kendra Smith vs. Hope Sandoval

pump my organ

^ i like you

OH YEAH!!!!!

kendra for sure

Sort of like Bon Scott vs. Brian Johnson.

Yeah, this is a bit of a no contest, really.

I mean, I like Hope and all but come on! Kendra! The Guild of Temporal Adventurers and all!

no one who has ever been in a room with hope sandoval would ever pick anyone other than her

I have been in several rooms with Hope Sandoval. Being a straight female, she does nothing for me on that level.

Hope Sandoval's voice is wonderful. A warm velvety blanket by a fireside on a cold winter's night...

kendra over hope any day.

oooooh tough.

this: Hope Sandoval's voice is wonderful. A warm velvety blanket by a fireside on a cold winter's night...

bbbbut Kendra's lyrics are so wtftastic and, yeah, that pump organ. Plus points for isolating herself in Bolivia or wherever and being a self-sufficient farmer with her trees and voices and such
Also: "Wheel of Law"

Kendra

No wiki for Kendra? This is truly a glaring oversight.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Like Masonic, I've also been in several rooms with Sandoval. I've also seen Kendra several times both with and without Dream Syndicate/Opal/etc. and Kendra wins this by several light years.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

damn straight

No one who has ever been in a room with 19 Kendra Smiths and 7 Hope Sandovals would ever pick anyone other than Kendra.

btw, Kendra's super-rare "Stille Im Meine Hamburg" single is definitely worth a listen. It's all church bells and soft feedback squeals over a dour piano waltz and clipclop percussion, and Kendra's singing (in German, no less) has never been more haunting. I doubt any sane person will be able to find a vinyl copy, but slsking is the next best thing.

Does anyone know if a recording of Kendra's Terrastock set is floating around somewhere? I believe hat was her last public performance, but I have no idea if it's any good.

that, not hat

Kendra's super-rare "Stille Im Meine Hamburg" - the one with deceased Chili Pepper Hillel Slovak's instrumental "jam" on the other side right. Wow, I haven't thought about that record in ages. I'm going to try to dig it up 2nite. It is the very sound of extreme heroin addiction.

Huh, I've never actually heard the b-side. Wasn't Slovak already quite dead by the time it was released?

There's a torrent on D1m3ad0z3n. I was at Terrastock II for it and it was flat-out amazing.

xpost: yeah, i think he was. Seems like he died in 88? The 7" came out in 89, as did Mother's Milk, which was the first RHCP lp to feature John F.

yeah, i've got the terrastock performance. intense, weird stuff! i think i voted for hope though! the stevie nicks on heroin thing has always done it for me. it is close though! kendra is awesome.

last night I listened to Five Ways of Disappearing for the first time in, like, ages.
still wonderful, though.

Just heard "Wheel Of The Law" and thought of making a post like this. My hat off to you for beating me to it.

anybody know where I can find a copy of Kendra Smith & Steve Wynn's cover of "All Tomorrow's Parties" sung by Kendra entirely in German?...it's supposedly one of the greatest cover versions ever...!
