Yes, the WoR book puts the TG stuff in the greater context which to me was important even if it is not just the rock context (like it ever was?). There are books that focus specifically on the TG stuff (Sam Knee's Untypical Girls, Helen's Lost Women of Rock). There have also been comps like Typical Girls (Emotional Response) and Subliminal Girls which seem to carry on the spirit. I also like (to use Mike Appelstein's term from a post back in 1999 when I started TG) the idea of Torchbearers like Big Joanie -- a member of which band wrote entries for the book. It's always been an important piece of something bigger. In my current work, I often talk about how when I saw Poly on the cover of Germ Free Adolescents how that was the first time I saw a woman on an album cover that I could identify with and then when I heard the music....it was obvious that I wasn't alone in the world and a total freak. Anyway...Happy Monday!

I was at the Book Soup reading in West Hollywood last Thursday night. Besides Evelyn, readers included Lucretia Tye Jasmine and Allison Wolfe who both contributed chapters to the book. They were very good, however the artists included go beyond the typical girls world, even rock world. Seems like it should have been titled “Women in Pop and Rock”.

Hi folks,

More Ut reissues on the way (see below). Also, Evelyn McDonnell's new book does a good job reflecting on Ari's legacy in the intro. The book is highly recommended, so far.
