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

[Sharon Cheslow <decomposition AT mindspring.com>]

Hi all,

Byron Coley told me today about a great new blog by Miriam Linna, who 
was in the first incarnation of the Cramps and went on to a bunch of 
other bands (including the Zantees, whom I saw in high school!). 
Start here, with her first entry last May about moving to from Ohio 
to NY in 1976 to become drummer for the Cramps, without ever having 
played drums before!

She tells great stories and has scanned a bunch of great photos and 
artifacts.  She was the head of the Flamin Groovies fan club, was 
friends with Ohio folks like Rocket from the Tombs (whose members 
went on to Pere Ubu), Electric Eels, Dead Boys, etc., lived with 
Lydia Lunch & Bradley Field of Teenage Jesus & the Jerks (she had 
known Bradley in Ohio), and wrote about music.  So check it out!
