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

[dpbailey AT att.net]

And if you're in Montgomery, Ala. (you poor damned soul) ... ummm ... I'll go digging in my music collection for something appropriate.

(Actually, I'm in charge of putting together a couple of mix tapes for the corporate Halloween party next Friday, & at the very least I'll throw in a couple of tunes from the Banshees' JuJu. Dunno off the top of my head of anything else even vaguely TG-esque that might be appropriate ... The Flying Lizards' brilliant "The Window," with Vivien Goldman's great vocals, would certainly fit, but I'm afraid the people I work with -- on an Air Force Base, of all damned places -- would probably find it waaaaaaay too outre. Same for Joolz' "The Latest Craze" or Action Pact's "Gothic Party Time," sad to say.)

*sigh*
