New Directions 27 Mar 2013: Eclectic Lady Land



This week I was joined by my friend and former CFMU Spoken Word Director, Sandy Gill, to play some of my recent and past favourite experimenters - who happen to be female.  We had an organically drawn out discussion about the feminine perspective or alleged female 'sound' in outsider/experimental music and biases in other forms. We ended things off with a special selection by Sandy with Pray for Minge.
