On the weekend I had the pleasure of seeing Vag Halen, Toronto's self-described feminist art rock band. They're talented, badass, and beautiful. And their far-reaching range of cover songs got me reminiscing about some of the women musicians whose songs have impacted me over the years. 

The apogee studio has been filled with a lot of womyn this week: 

Typical Girls - The Slits 

Softer, Softest - Hole 

Song to the Siren - This Mortal Coil

Stand by Me - Tracy Chapman

Big Time Sensuality - Bjork

Night in my Veins - The Pretenders 

One Line - PJ Harvey
