Silent Words Speak Loudest (Free subscription) | yesterday
Quote of the day " What we need is more contemporary rock music that addresses or mirrors the chaos, the gray areas and the uneasiness. Just go listen to The Stooges or Bikini Kill for a second to remember what that sounds like. I enjoy sweet songs as much as the next person, but I'm tired of passive music that allows us to merely sit back. I want music that makes me sit up. Personally, I think...

Female-trio Wetdog join the ranks of Vivian Girls and Dum Dum Girls carrying on a tradition that began with bands like Bikini Kill and Sleater-Kinney in the ‘90s. Whether the U.K. ladies would appreciate the Riot Grrrl tag is unknown, but they recently toured with The Slits so we’re in the right ballpark. Certainly they share a similar esthetic: buzz-saw guitars, surf bass-lines, and shouty...

Found: a mixtape labeled with one small scribble across side A: I'm miss wrrrrrld. This leads me to believe it was the background music for the Halloween party my roommates and I held in 1997, the year I dressed in tribute to the Lady Courtney. I wor...

I can't believe I've never gotten into Le Tigre before. Sure, I've heard of them, but I never appreciated their awesome-ness. While searching for music to play on my feminist radio show (listen online tonight at 8:30PM EST), I thought, "Hmm. You know, ...

Vocals - Kathleen Hanna My teenage years were filled with the sound of Bikini Kill. I love Kathleen's voice. I would want her shouty shrieks and screams all over this band. Her politico-sexual female empowerment is just what this band needs.

Pens Hey Friend, What You Doing? ••••½ De Stijl There’s nothing like a little controversy to inflate the buzz around debuts, but for London trio Pens the kerfuffle in question has come squarely from critic-to-critic politics rather than any attention seeking gimmicks from the artists themselves. Pitchfork’s damning review of the band’s recently pressed LP,...

rachaelball , originally uploaded by mithering . Sometimes things just fall into place. Spent some time on Twitter recently wondering what had happened to Rachael Ball, the fantastic and talented comic book artist who I was lucky to work with for a very short while at City Life. Then, on Sunday, having been instructed that 'those shelves will have to go' I was going through some old boxes of stuff...

Still buzzing from last year's debut, the mass of hair dye and riot-grrl dynamics better known as Vivian Girls are back. Still succinct in a sweet, if rough shod manner, Vivian Girls have crafted a record that leads comfortably from what came first.

So once I moved to New York, I realized I was fully West Coast, dreaming outside of the workaday world, I couldn’t find that in New York. When Kathleen had a show for Julie Ruin, her new solo project after a few years without Bikini Kill, and she needed someone to work the synthesizers, that was Johanna. I think they were in a band together in Olympia, or maybe it was Portland, and then Johanna...

Welcome to Women Who Rock Wednesday. The guest I had scheduled, Kathy Charles had to postpone, so we'll hear from her sometime in the future and if you are in Australia, I highly advise you to look for her brand new book, Hollywood Ending. This means that I'm continuing the contest for last week's guest, filmmaker April Mosqus until next Wednesday. So if you haven't read the interview about her film,...
