Title: Feminist Rock
Post by: Johnny C on 25 Sep 2006, 10:12: Hey guys, my Art 100 class has been divided into groups which are doing a project on major artists and my group has been assigned the Guerrilla Girls, a feminist art collective who basically do guerrilla art - posters, protests, books, films - around promoting women in art and women's rights and such.

And I'm doing music for this presentation.

I'm going to be including a Sleater-Kinney track, something from Le Tigre, and probably some M.I.A. If you guys have any suggestions and possibly YouSendIt links for me, I'd like to bring this thing up to twenty minutes as that is the length of the presentation.

Thanks guys!

Post by: Gryff on 25 Sep 2006, 15:45: Some Kim Gordon sung Sonic Youth would be cool ('Swimsuit Issue' maybe?). And you'd have to have Bikini Kill ('The Anti-Pleasure Dissertation'?). Peaches too ('Two Guys For Every Girl'?).

Yah.

Post by: Johnny C on 25 Sep 2006, 20:18: These are great, guys! And I suppose in this thread I should say that you ladies are doing an equally good job! Hooray all around!

Although Mobius, that might be more honest than feminist. Still, sounds rad.

Post by: adara on 25 Sep 2006, 20:24: I don't know exactly how "feminist" they would be considered plus Chrissie Hynde is the only female in the band, but the first side of The Pretenders' debut album is amazingly awesome.

I have it on vinyl (bought it for fifty cents, great purchase), so I can't do the yousendit thing. sorry.

A fine song and my personal favourite from Dry, but in this case I think "Dress" would be even better.

P.S.: somebody mention Dry in the '90s albums thread. I've mentioned way more than five there already.

Post by: Praeserpium Machinarum on 26 Sep 2006, 05:23: You may be right. I have always been more a Stories From the City, Stories from the Sea kind of person. The older stuff hasn't made that big of an impact to be honest...
