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

[mike AT appelstein.com]

Two slightly off-topic announcements insofar as they're a few years  
after the TG timeline, but perhaps of interest all the same?

1)  If anyone is still interested in that Rastro cassette we discussed  
last week, I've now digitized it here:   
http://www.sendspace.com/file/onaxfl.  As I mentioned last week, it  
contains the complete Rastro recordings, a band featuring former and  
future members of the Quails, Team Dresch and Autoclave.  It also  
contains solo recordings by most of the band members, which are  
wonderfully sparse and poppy in that wobbly early K Records way.  I  
don't think it's been for sale for years, so I feel only slight  
twinges of guilt making this available.

2)  Link to an interview I recently did with Sara Marcus about her  
amazing book, Girls to the Front:

Enjoying the archival conversations - I'd be happy to contribute  
anything from my minor archive...
