Boing Boing Staging

Ida Maria, "Oh My God" (Greatest Song of All Time of the Day)

Regular visitors to my blog are likely sick of my outsize enthusiasm for the songwriter, singer, and guitarist Ida Maria; now it’s time for you to suffer. I’ve written about the excitement of discovering her debut album, trying to get my then-12-year-old daughter into a 21+ club to see her (I received some hilarious help from the Internets on this front), succeeding at getting said daughter into a show, and my sadness at Maria’s apparent genuine breakdown onstage one night. If you haven’t heard Ida Maria, start here. “Oh My God” is ferocious in every way a great rock’n’roll song can be ferocious, climaxing with a scream as frightening as Johnny Rotten’s and as powerful as Roger Daltrey’s. There are few better ways to start the week.
