I’m a huge, huge fan of Wet Leg. I was taken aback by how glam Rhian Teasdale was in the latest live YouTube video the ban has done, “Smoko.” She comes across as Very Hot.

I just worry that she’s going to veer off into Being Famous with all the downside that entails.

But maybe I’m reading too much into very little information — something I’m known to do.

Anyway, I wish the best for her. She needs to go solo and be my favorite Punk Rock Girl. But that’s a realization she has to come to own her own. If she stays with Wet Leg, that’s fine.

I love, love, love the band Wet Leg. But I have to note that I think one member of the duo —  Rhian Teasdale — is in her Sugar Cubes era. As you may know, Bjork was in a band called the Sugar Cubes before she went solo and made it big. It just seems to me that Ms. Teasdale has a lot of unlocked creative ability that would come to the fore if she either went solo or, even better yet, helped form an all-girl super group.

Imagine if, say, for one album you could get Ms.  Teasdale to join forces with Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift and, I don’t know, maybe the drummer from Harry Style’s band? That would be so cool. It would be an opportunity for something really fun to happen for once.

But, alas, as I always say — no one listens to me. Even though when they do, usually cool shit happens.
