WLRN Presents: Authentic XX Voices - guest music hour with Polythene Pam

This show celebrates the authentic creative expression and powerful voices of womyn, undiluted by male interference. We hear about solidarity between womyn, mental illness and healing, the pure joy of female love and friendship, the pain of isolation that many lesbians experience, black butch life in 1920s America, the charisma of womyn who stand in their power, two luminous songs from womyn who are/were probably autistic, and a plea and a prayer from a working class womon that we can all wake up to our own power and empathy. 01 The Dresden Dolls - Girl Anachronism 02 Peaches - Boys Wanna Be Her 03 Bikini Kill - Rebel Girl 04 Robots In Disguise - Girl 05 Seven Year Bitch - Dead Men Don't Rape [Peel Session] 06 Natalie Prass - Sisters 07 Daphne Oram - Bird of Parallax [excerpt] 08 Cocteau Twins - Lorelei 09 Amy Winehouse - Valerie 10 Noisettes - Never Forget You 11 Eleanor Friedberger - Cathy With The Curly Hair 12 Corinne Bailey Rae - Put Your Records On 13 Gertrude 'Ma' Rainey - Prove It On Me Blues 14 Sarabeth Tucek - Get Well Soon 15 Lesley Gore - Better Angels 16 Kate Tempest - Tunnel Vision
