Kerrang 882 Dec 2001

Honestly this was a bad time for women being featured in Kerrang, this was it out of the whole issue. And it wasn't because there weren't many women in rock during this time, there were tons, but it seemed Kerrang didn't give a fuck. They were more interested in any Limp Bizkit wannabe band.

Underrated: Broadcast

Broadcast were indie electronica duo Trish Keenen and James Cargill, formed in Birmingham in 1995. They released their debut album The Noise Made by People in 2000. Their sound is a perfect blend of 60's dreaminess, sparse indie and electronic synths and noises. Trish in her singing managed to convey so much whilst vocally sounding icy cold at the same time. She sometimes recorded her vocals with her head in a cardboard box giving her voice a "closeness and deadness". She sounded like a 60s torch singer with a modern coolness.

Update

I haven't touched this blog in a long time, but I will be back posting again. I am going to mostly use this blog to share magazine scans from the 90s and 00s of women in music. I was using Pintrest (and still have boards there full of stuff) but wasn't happy with how they reduce the quality of the images making most of the print unreadable. I have been blogging at retro junk but didn't want to clog that up with music stuff so here is where you will find all my magazine scans in high quality. The previous posts I made on the blog have gone a but weird as I changed the blog format back to something simple at least for now. Also I still make Ladykillers zine. Issue 1 (the 90s issue) and issue 2 (the 00s issue) are out now through etsy and I have just started working on Issue 3!
