Women In Rock Part VII Various Artists - URBANASPIRINES

   So WOMEN IN ROCK is wrapped up with Volume 7 (count ‘em) by Kostas this morning and inevitably I guess this last was going to be pretty radical he having covered pretty much everyone of more mainstream voices previously but nothing wrong with that. (It’s actually why I like Kostas’ choice as he has kept it well balanced despite some glaring omissions (what no Bonnie Raitt, Martha Wainwright? Lily Allen? I would obviously break the rock pattern mould and included more folk based English gals like Katherine Williams, Thea Gilmore and antipodeans like Emily Barker but maybe they don’t fit the category of ‘rock’ although Bonnie must for sure but that’s MY stuff) but we can all do that and it’s his list of over 300 lasses! If you don’t like this ‘cos it leaves someone out when make your own and tell us about it!

BAT FOR LASHES

[Natasha Khan]

Voodoo Wagon share a treat this morning . . . . . . I have always enjoyed and been intrigued by Bat For Lashes not least from when I first heard the name. Musically I try to keep up and her set at Glastonbury which Voodoo Wagon post here too, was mesmerising . . . . . not every modern singer songwriter artist quotes Susan Hiller amongst her influences. Now Susan showed at the gallery where I worked from the late seventies until the early nineties and she is a powerful figure in feminist art archaeology and a creative force always of interest and set to challenge the common view as to what art is or may be. I can see the connection . . . . . .
