Men have had their shot, and look at where we've got.

My very first introduction to feminism was through Kurt Cobain and Nirvana. I watched every interview, read every article, listened to every bootleg I could get my small-town coastal Oregon hands on. Nirvana was the first band I had experienced that represented all of the people and ideas that weren't being represented in mainstream culture at the time. Obviously this had a deep impact on me.

To be totally honest, I heard Jim O'Rourke's version of Women Of The World first, but his version isn't what inspired me to make my own. The Ivor Cutler/Linda Hirst version is totally mesmerizing. Here, download it. It came out in 1983 and was a minor hit on the UK indie charts. Find as much Ivor Cutler as you can.

James Sumner made my epileptic hypercolor grunge dream come true.

there was this band called Rugburn, they were Astoria locals, and the drummer was 13, the bassist was 11, and they guitarist looked pretty young though, but I didn't talk to him.

They was bangin it out, and I got chased out of the building by dude because I was trying to steal a keg.
