If this two-hour episode of Typical Grrrls, our show dedicated to female-fronted groups, is a bit angrier than usual, you can thank the scumbag misogynistic predator who is running for president for that. Kim Gordon’s 1992 song “Swimsuit Issue” never sounded better. In addition to Kim (pictured) and Sonic Youth, we’ll also hear songs from Tiger Trap, The Flatmates, Bow Wow Wow, Thee Headcoatees, Saint Etienne, Blondie, Bikini Kill, Opal, Bettie Serveert, Liz Phair, Anne Clark, Strawberry Switchblade, Tom Tom Club, The Siddeleys, and much more.
