    Revolution Grrrl Style Now
    I just got through making a Riot Grrrl mix for a friend who wanted to dig into the genre... I forgot how great some of this stuff is. I think that the common criticism of this scene (well, besides people who disagree with the politics) was that the music was second to the politics, but a lot of it holds up surprisingly well. There's some really visceral and compelling stuff, especially from the catalogs of 7 Year Bitch, Bikini Kill, Huggybear, The Gits, L7, Free Kitten... I also dug up gems from Fifth Column, Bratmobile, Babes in Toyland, Team Dresch, The Frumpies... I feel compelled to share. Is anyone interested? If so, PM me. Fidelity is not an issue with this stuff.
