    Nov 10 2023

We discuss the musical and greater cultural impact of the iconic debut album from The Go-Go's, whether it was an intentionally feminist touchstone, and why it still sounds so good 40+ years after it's release.

    ”The Go-Go's - Beauty And The Beat” and the entire 33 1/3 Series is available from Bloomsbury Academic Books. Lisa's other new book, "Girls, Interrupted: How Pop Culture is Failing Women" is available from Véhicule Press.

We discuss the very important but seldom-discussed influence the Fab Four had on women's culture and Sixties & Seventies Feminism, and the women (some well-known, some not) who were instrumental in The Beatles rise to international fame.

    "A Women's History of The Beatles" is available from Bloomsbury Academic Books.

    Jun 14 2022
    Seattle-based photographer Mike Hipple joins us this episode, as we discuss his fantastic book "Lived Through That, '90s Musicians Today", featuring members of Nirvana, No Doubt, Jesus Jones, Lush, Letters To Cleo, Throwing Muses, The Posies, and more. If you're a fan of 90's alt-rock and are curious what your fave artists of the era are up to, this book is meant for you! We'll discuss Mike's methods of interviewing artists who may have been out of the public eye for a while, why these particular artists are still creative and vital, and the interesting trend of alt-rockers pivoting to careers creating very cool kid's music.
