Part 12 (the last one!) of the Brazen Ladies series of 7″ played alphabetically by woman bands. This week we start with Tracie and run through Zuzu’s Petals. Tracks you HAVE to hear are by Velocette (love that song!), Velocity Girl, Vertical Pillows, Vibralux, and Vinyl Devotion. In closing this 12 week series, I say go back and be sure to listen to EVERY song, as not one of them snuck in here – they were all deserving and placed with love. A special thanks to Pénélope Bagieu and her ‘Brazen: Rebel Ladies Who Rocked The World’ graphic novel for inspiring me to expand a simple idea into a 12 week megadventure.

Week 5 of 12 of Brazen Ladies series: 7″ singles spun in real time played alphabetically by artist. Today covers from God Is My Co-Pilot to Ivy. This episode is dedicated to the Manga artist Rumiko Takahashi, who created Uresei Yatsura, and to creator of Moomins, Tove Jansson 1914-2001. She coded her life into her famous creation trolls and wrote six comic strips a week for seven years. In today’s show, Huggy Bear have Moomins on the label of their ‘Main Squeeze’ 7″, and God Is My Co-Pilot side-project The Hattifatteners are 100% Moomins inspired. In Moomins mythology, The Hattifatteners are silent beings that are forever wandering around in large herds. The only thing that interests them is reaching the horizon – and once they reach it, they continue on their journey. Let’s continue on with the Brazen Ladies series. Tracks by Go-Kart (reminding me to Julee Cruise), Growing Up Skipper and Guvner in the first hour, and Hello I’m A Truck, Ida and International Strike Force ‎ in the second hour must be heard.

Week 3 of the 12-week Brazen Ladies series of 7″ singles spun in real time and played alphabetically. Today we go from Cheesecake to The Courettes in the first hour, and Cosmetique to Destroy All Monsters in the second hour. I think of the Persian vampire movie ‘A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night’, with its use of vampirism as a metaphor for not fitting in to society. The tracks on repeat in my head this week are from Chia Pet and Coping Saw in the first hour, and Courtney Love, Cub and The Delgados in the second hour.
