Recently, my friends commented on my lack of updates and I felt compelled to attempt to fix up my lofty endeavor, and rearrange the entire structure of this sonic archive! I have been changing all the links on the blog to mediafire, so that they can be downloaded and they look better. I am almost done, but the uploading process is somewhat annoying.<br /><br />Anyway, the links for all the past shows will be in mediafire form. They, unfortunately, may be split in half, since some of the three hour shows will not upload in a single mp3 form! I will be adding new shows and fixing the old ones already posted. I am hoping to have this done soon.<br /><br />In addition, the recent shows have been great, and have led me down such interesting paths. I feel as though the recent research I have been doing has expanded my understanding of the concept of genre and the female voice! For instance, I did a show on the female voice--a particularly interesting, complicated, and problematic musical medium, which calls attention to the historical complications of what it meant to use your voice as a female (and here I am thinking of cases of rape, incest, abuse, etc), when your voice was heard, by whom, and who literally had access to their voices. Another show, perhaps my favorite to date, showcased METAL MAIDENS/MAMAS growling and shredding their way to the heaviest parts of my heart. I was lucky enough to have metal maiden and grrrl queen extraordinaire Lindsay Powell (she plays music, <a href="http://fielded.tumblr.com/">Fielded </a>and <a href="http://www.myspace.com/gaanband">Ga'an</a> both utterly amazing and wonderful!) as my co-host. That show will be up soon, along with the others!<br /><br />In the meantime, here is, Somebody Groovy, the best song by the Mamas and the Papas live at Monterey. They really seem to be the highest people alive.<br /><br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/wvlWnJ9FqUM&hl=en_US&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/wvlWnJ9FqUM&hl=en_US&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03217155514832312019noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924540399076035310.post-69202360991551891482010-04-08T08:07:00.000-07:002010-04-08T08:25:23.052-07:00Sugar, Spice, & Everything Nice<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaI8_MAwTrLUIyfXCY9O14zwBw1X9CCS-g0YjgEFJFkrpycU7jIG7cs9fB69vK2m40rTP8b6udoUrtpv1A8oM_AIek7Z0Kb1XUorBxhR1iHMccUxvwIjgkSf6O__YdTnG-aE9MGYZFogU/s1600/femininecomplex.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 210px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaI8_MAwTrLUIyfXCY9O14zwBw1X9CCS-g0YjgEFJFkrpycU7jIG7cs9fB69vK2m40rTP8b6udoUrtpv1A8oM_AIek7Z0Kb1XUorBxhR1iHMccUxvwIjgkSf6O__YdTnG-aE9MGYZFogU/s320/femininecomplex.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457787563831110674" border="0" /></a>Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03217155514832312019noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924540399076035310.post-73880025441987927232009-04-29T04:29:00.000-07:002009-04-29T04:47:50.485-07:00Nous Ne Sommes Pas Des Anges: Yeh Yeh Grrrls April 5, 2009<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i08.bdbphotos.com/4L/78/0000545478-91006L.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 405px; height: 304px;" src="http://i08.bdbphotos.com/4L/78/0000545478-91006L.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03217155514832312019noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924540399076035310.post-20811983955645116882009-04-29T04:11:00.000-07:002009-06-23T09:14:03.546-07:00Am I the Same Girl? : THE DIVA APRIL 20, 2009<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.aquariumdrunkard.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/aretha-franklin-1968.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 359px; height: 438px;" src="http://www.aquariumdrunkard.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/aretha-franklin-1968.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>I have been thinking a lot about the different identities that women are expected/allowed to have. One that seems extremely omnipresent recently, particularly with reference to women making music, is the identity of THE DIVA. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, a diva is:<br /><p><!--end_pg--> <a name="50067719et1"></a><a name="deriv"></a><!--start_dg-->"[It. <i>diva</i> goddess, lady-love, ‘fine lady’: <i><nobr>diva </nobr></i>goddess, female divinity, fem. of <i><nobr>divus</nobr></i>divine, god, deity.] <!--end_dg--><a name="50067719def1"></a></p><p> <!--start_def-->A distinguished female singer, a prima donna.<!--end_def--> </p><a name="50067719q1"></a><!--start_q--><div class="qt"><nobr><b><!--start_ed--><!--start_d-->1883<!--end_d--><!--end_ed--></b></nobr> <!--start_ea--><!--start_a--><a href="http://dictionary.oed.com.proxy.uchicago.edu/help/bib/oed2-b2.html#black" target="oedbib" color="#002653"><span style="color: rgb(0, 38, 83);"><!--open_smallcaps-->B<small>LACK</small><!--close_smallcaps--></span></a><!--end_a--><!--end_ea--> in <i><!--start_ew--><!--start_w-->Harper's Mag.<!--end_w--><!--end_ew--></i> Feb. 465/2 <!--start_qt-->The latest <i>diva</i> of the drama.<!--end_qt--><!--end_q--> <a name="50067719q2"></a><!--start_q--><nobr><b><!--start_d-->1894<!--end_d--></b></nobr> <i><!--start_w-->Tablet<!--end_w--></i> 7 Apr. 531 <!--start_qt-->Operatic singers of the other sex are to be engaged, but no diva."<br /><br />Yet, the diva has recently been equated to bitch, a difficult woman, or a demanding lady. And, perhaps as a result, female diva artistry has been taken for granted and relegated to the much scorned status of "Top 40"-- not-serious, adolescent music. I am now thinking of the bit of scholarship I have read on the image of the "teeny bopper" by Angela Robbie and how the subcultural identity has created its own space for GIRLS to maneuver. And as we know, tastes, just as much as anything is completely constructed. So I wonder how this type of music has become emblematic of the inauthentic or understood to be not-serious.<br /><br />This show was my attempt at highlighting some of the women who have been relegated to the "diva" category in popular culture, and understanding them as musicians and artists making music. Let's try to strip away the social conventions of elitist pop-hating ways, and listen to what it means for these women to claim divadom and fully assume that identity.<br /></div><br /><br /><a href="http://www.imeem.com/people/WlrGn44/music/nUconIj9/this-is-new-radio-divas/">Divas - This is New Radio</a>Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03217155514832312019noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924540399076035310.post-70617672420234169842009-04-29T04:08:00.000-07:002009-04-29T04:11:21.902-07:00Ruder Than You: Dub Queens, Reggae Ladies, Rude Grrrls February 23, 2009<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/252/9630061.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 252px; height: 200px;" src="http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/252/9630061.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03217155514832312019noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924540399076035310.post-78288958855202572752009-04-29T04:03:00.000-07:002009-06-23T09:07:22.617-07:00Born to Be Bad: Bad Grrrls March 24, 2009<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.barrettchase.com/runaways.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 344px; height: 264px;" src="http://www.barrettchase.com/runaways.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.imeem.com/people/WlrGn44/playlist/R4T656mn/this-is-new-radio-bad-grrrls-music-playlist/">This is New Radio Bad Grrrls</a>Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03217155514832312019noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924540399076035310.post-63871954905255785682009-04-29T03:47:00.000-07:002009-06-23T09:07:04.053-07:00They Talk About Us, Telling Lies, Well That's No Surprise: California Grrrls (Valley Grrrls & L.A.

Perhaps it is because I am writing my thesis about blues tourism in the Mississippi Delta, and am currently exploring Raymond Williams's <span style="font-style: italic;">The Country and the City</span>, in any case, the word country is a complex and rich cultural category that indexes a wide range of meanings. This show was my was of thinking about gender and country-ness in terms of music. What does it mean for grrrls to be country? How is country-ness constructed? Who is allowed to be country? and how does this category manifest in musical form? I am concerned with the way that grrrls interact with this country identity. The link below is to the show I did on country ladies. Of course, this remains a reflection of my own tastes in female country music ladies, and by no means, aims to present an exhausted list of all the country queens.

This is New Radio debuted on <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">WHPK</span> 88.5 The Pride of the South Side in Chicago, Illinois at 4 am Central Standard Time. I had never been in a radio studio, let alone produced a radio show. The medium of radio was a complete mystery to me, but I knew that I was bored of hearing the same ten male-centric songs on the classic rock/oldies station, or a complete <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">devalued</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">inauthenticity</span> attributed to any women that happened to, seemingly by mistake, "get played" (notice the pun!) on almost every other station. And, I don't know about you, but I am sick of hearing about how "crazy bitch" Yoko broke up the Beatles, or how great female voices are always "discovered" by some bourgeois male music producer type.<br /><br />So lets look at this as an attempt to rewrite the grand popular music historical narrative by questioning those seemingly naturalized discourses that permeate our understanding of what it means to be a GIRL making music.<br /><br />The link below is an Mp3 of my first show, which focused on Riot <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Grrrls</span>. To contextualize: the whole concept of Riot <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Grrrl</span> culture impacted my life in a very real and personal way-- it allowed me to realize that girls could really do whatever we want and that was empowering for my confused fourteen year old self. Hearing Kathleen Hanna scream for the first time, dancing to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Bratmobile</span> with friends, or reading Riot <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Grrrl</span> zines showed me that girls were special and had a culture that could subvert conventional ideologies in a radical way. Girl music and girl culture stands in opposition to practices that write women and girls out of histories or questions their involvement and authenticity. To summarize, I think experiencing women-- particularly those labeled "Girls"-- making music in any capacity is exciting, empowering, and all together fun. This is New Radio is an attempt to understand "Girl Music" as important.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.imeem.com/people/WlrGn44/music/0Y0brpdx/this-is-new-radio-riot-grrrls/">Riot Grrrls - This is New Radio</a><br /><br />Track Listing Below:<br />Bikini Kill- New Radio<br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Bratmobile</span>- The Real Janelle<br />Julie Ruin- V.G.I.<br />Heavens to Betsy- Me & Her<br />Spider and the Webs- Mister Hypnotist<br />Kathleen Hanna's Message to Mike Watt<br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Huggy</span> Bear- Blow Dry<br />Team <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Dresch</span>- Seven<br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Cadallaca</span>- Two Beers Later<br />Suture- Pretty Is<br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Sleater</span>-Kinney- Banned From the End of the Earth<br />7 Year Bitch- Chow Down<br />Slant 6- Soda Pop-Rip Off<br />The Bangs- Sweet Revenge<br />Go Sailor- Ray of Sunshine<br />Excuse 17- 5 <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">Arces</span><br />Babes in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">Toyland</span>- Ripe<br />Chicks on Speed- For All the Boys in the World<br />The <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">Peechees</span>- Pepper<br />Bikini Kill- Suck My Left One<br />Tribe 8- Manipulate<br />Star Sign Scorpio- <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">Eskinaut</span><br />The <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">Frumpies</span>- Weird Machine<br />The <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">Frumpies</span>-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">Intertube</span> Tomorrow<br />Emily's Sassy Lime- Bait & Switch<br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">Sleater</span>-Kinney- Get Up<br />My New Boyfriend- Thurston Moore<br />Kathleen Hanna- I Wish I Was Him<br />Le <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">Tigre</span>- Hot Topic<br />Red Aunts- Poison Steak<br />The Need- Crown<br />The Casual Dots- I'll Dry My Tears<br />The Gossip- Got All This Waiting<br />Bikini Kill- Alien She<br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21">Bratmobile</span>- And I Live in a Town Where All the Boys Amputate Their Hearts<br />Spider and the Webs- Do you Really Wanna?<br />The Bangs- Into You<br />Julie Ruin- Break Out A Town<br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22">Bratmobile</span>- Where Eagles Dare<br /><br />The Frumpies- Be Good<br /><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/jusxrzp1E_o&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/jusxrzp1E_o&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"></embed></object>Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03217155514832312019noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924540399076035310.post-6711792257756422732009-02-25T14:26:00.000-08:002009-03-07T18:35:44.349-08:00Hey Girlfriend, I got a proposition...So I set up an email account for This is New Radio.

With a shrill, high-pitched, and distinctly yet deliberately girly screech, she exclaims “this is new radio!” This radio show takes its name from this particular moment and aims to interpret what Kathleen proposed and functionally apply it. From here, I call attention to an academic discourse that calls itself “girl studies,” a sort of sub-genre of feminism, which Gayle Wald (1998) asserts, “constructs girlhood as a separate, exceptional, and/or pivotal phase in female identity formation” (Wald 1998: 587). I am concerned with the way girldom is constructed within musical genres, using a diachronic approach to highlight various expressions of girlness. By playing music, which has creatively involved females, and specifically exhibits “girl” attributes, many musical moments which have come to occupy the mainstream musical consciousness may be interpreted with a new understanding of musical and cultural history. Highlighting a different genre and/or theme each show, I will produce a sonic experience that forces us to rethink the way we interpret “girl” music and what it actually means to embrace girldom through a musical paradigm. I emphasize the fact that re-contextualizing historical musical consciousness will allow us to read the history of popular twentieth century music to include women as huge creative forces which affect the current musical trends today. I will draw from various regions locally, domestically, and internationally, and choose a different genre, region, and time period to share music that involved females and emphasized an adherence to a specifically girl identity. By showcasing music as diverse as all-girl swing bands from the 1940s, to 90s female hip-hop artists, to sixties French yeh-yeh girl pop, we can investigate the way race, ethnicity, sexual orientation and class affect various constructions of the “girl” in music and produce a dynamic and appreciative understanding of a specifically girl identity. Following Kathleen’s lead, "This is New Radio" showcases music that has creatively involved girls, allowing for a new kind of radio that embraces female, and specifically, girl musical artistry juxtapose the majority of musical discourse which constantly points out an inauthenticity and artificial-ness of women involved in the music-making process.Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03217155514832312019noreply@blogger.com1
