Typical Girls: Women in Punk/Post-Punk/Underground Music (Circa 1975-1980s)

[Chuck Warner <chuck AT hyped2death.com>]

I've just spent most of my morning picking through the newest (and 
best) issue of ...your heart out, Kevin Pearce's extraordinary pdf 
fanzine.

#4 deals with Sun Ra (nominally), Kevin's usual enthusiasms for less 
classifiable bits of 60s and 70s jazz (especially women singers), and 
a really thoughtful primer on the earliest collisions/collusions 
between punk and disco. Along the way there are detours for a page or 
two each on Orange Juice, Y Records, Mo-Dettes, Lotti Golden, 
Catherine Ribiero, and Samia Farah. Everything's presented a bit 
stream-of-consciousness, but it's insightful/scholarly all the while, 
and laudably free of hipster pose (no offence).

but watch out for pop-up ads if you download other issues - some 
anti-virus software company fakes a scan of your hard-drive 
(laughable if you've got a Mac) and tells you you're infected and 
need their service: look for a continue your download link at the 
upper right and ignore the ad... and enjoy the zine!

Did I mention that I lost HOURS this morning tracking YouTube samples 
of all the unknowns (to me) that Kevin mentioned?
