A recent addition to our blog index, new age curators Sounds of The Dawn also have a show on NTS Radio. Float with their latest episode.

GOOD READ

Watt on why we can't forget the way we talked about Meg White:

"The position of women in music still seems to be that of being saddled at all times with an extra 50 lb. backpack of judgements and preconceptions, and when they carry it and carry on, they’re met with derision and objectification, or, in the very best of a circumstances, a reaction of 'these ladies prove women can play instruments also!'"

Thanks for listening!
