The Royal We (Akashic Books, 2025) is a poetic survey of a time set in a magical city that once was and is no more. It is a memoir written by Roddy Bottum, a musician and artist, that documents through prose his coming of age and out of the closet in 1980s San Francisco, a charged era of bicycle messengers, punk rock, street witches, wheatgrass, and rebellion. The book follows his travels from Los Angeles, growing up gay with no role models, to San Francisco, where he formed Faith No More and went on to tour the world relentlessly, surviving heroin addiction and the plight of AIDS, to become a queer icon. The book is an elevated wallop of tongue and insight, much more than a tell-all. There are personal tales of historical pinnacles like Kurt and Courtney, Guns N' Roses, and recaps of gold records and arena rock—but it's the testimonies of tragedy and addiction and preposterous life-spins that make this work so unique and intriguing. Bottum writes about his dark and harrowing past in a clear-eyed voice that is utterly devoid of self-pity, and his emboldened and confident pronouncements of achievement and unorthodox heroism flow in an unstoppable train that's both captivating and inspirational. A remarkable portrayal of a creative individual in emergence, a gay man figuring out how to be a gay man, and a detailed look at the nuance of 1980s pre–tech boom San Francisco, The Royal We will be greatly appreciated by people who loved Kathleen Hanna's Rebel Girl, Patti Smith's Just Kids, Hua Hsu's Stay True, and other memoirs about the artist's life.

Friends Talking Nerdy
Talking About Women Who Rock - Episode 428

Episode 428 of Friends Talking Nerdy is a celebration of women who didn't just rock the stage but bent the rules of the game, reshaped culture, and left scorch marks on the history of music. Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd dive into their favorite women rock and roll stars, not just rattling off names but unpacking what made these artists lightning rods for change.The conversation moves track by track like a lovingly curated mixtape, which they made availble on YouTube. They start with Pat Benatar's anthemic “We Belong,” discussing how Benatar combined powerhouse vocals with a sense of vulnerability that made her a radio staple without softening her edge. From there, they barrel into the raw energy of Janis Joplin's “Move Over,” talking about how Joplin embodied a feral, unapologetic energy that made her voice feel like a declaration of war. Kathleen Hanna and Le Tigre's “Much Finer” prompts Aubrey to bring in the riot grrrl movement, with Tim marveling at how Hanna's blend of activism and art feels more vital now than ever.When Jefferson Airplane's “Somebody to Love” comes up, they highlight Grace Slick's psychedelic snarl and how she stood toe-to-toe with the male counterculture icons of her era. Joan Jett's “Bad Reputation” naturally gets both of them fired up—Tim noting how Jett weaponized punk's simplicity, while Aubrey points out that her career longevity is proof she wasn't just a “bad girl” novelty. They lean into Stevie Nicks' “Edge of Seventeen,” marveling at her voice's mythic qualities and the way she carved out her own witchy rock persona that still resonates across generations.From The Pretenders' “Back on the Chain Gang” to Blondie's “One Way or Another,” the hosts highlight the unique blend of grit and sophistication Chrissie Hynde and Debbie Harry brought to the table. Tina Turner's “Private Dancer” inspires a passionate sidebar on resilience, survival, and the way Turner reinvented herself against impossible odds. And Hole's “Celebrity Skin” brings the discussion full circle, with Aubrey making the case that Courtney Love's voice—half sneer, half scream—was a necessary counterweight to the sanitized pop machine of the late ‘90s.After the amps cool down, the duo pivot to television, giving their first impressions of South Park's Season 27 debut. They note how the new season takes aim at the current American political landscape with a sharpness and weird clarity the show hasn't always nailed in recent years. Tim points out that the difference between South Park's take on the first Trump Administration years and now is like night and day—back then, the writers seemed shell-shocked, unsure how to lampoon chaos that already felt like satire. Professor Aubrey adds that the new season feels more like the show's golden years, where cultural absurdity is filtered through the bizarre but laser-focused worldview of four Colorado kids. Together, they agree that this season might mark a creative resurgence for the long-running series.The episode balances music history and cultural commentary with the usual Friends Talking Nerdy flavor—part nerdy scholarship, part passionate fan energy. By the end, listeners get both a playlist of iconic women who changed the sound of rock forever and a thoughtful dive into how South Park still finds a way to speak to the strange moment we're all living through.As always, we wish to thank Christopher Lazarek for his wonderful theme song.

Det här är berättelsen om den hyllade och kritiserade feministen som formade Riot grrrl-rörelsen och krossade så många glastak inom punkscenen att bitar av himlen kunde lysa igenom. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Det är en sen aprilkväll år 1993. På det lilla undergroundhaket Macondo i Los Angeles är stämningen hemtrevligt rörig.På golvet i lokalen sitter ungdomar och dricker öl, men när kvällens band börjar stämma instrumenten reser de sig.Det feministiska riot grrrl-bandet som snart ska spela kallar sig Bikini Kill och har på kort tid krossat så många glastak inom den mansdominerade punkscenen att bitar av himlen nu äntligen lyser igenom. Deras väg in i strålkastarljuset har dock inte varit smärtfri och det är främst bandets kompromisslösa frontperson som skurit sig på glasskärvorna. 24-åriga Kathleen Hanna justerar mikrofonstativet och spanar ut över folkmassan. Hon har på sig en gul kortärmad tröja och en svart pennkjol. Det korpsvarta håret är uppsatt i två tofsar med rosa rosetter.En bit in i konserten kliver Kathleen upp på trumpodiet och frågar publiken om de är redo? Hon ska visa dem något.– I'm gonna show you my cellulitis now, säger hon. Kathleen drar ner kjolen till fotknölarna, vänder röven mot publiken och klappar sig själv på skinkorna.– Look, this is real. You don't see this on TV. You don't see this on MTV.Medverkande: Elin Unnes, Emilia Henriksson och Agnes Henriksson.Programmet gjordes och programleds av Siri Hill hösten 2024Producent Joanna KorbutiakExekutiv producent Lars TruedssonSlutmix Fredrik NilssonP3 Musikdokumentär görs av Tredje Statsmakten Media.En viktig källa för dokumentären har varit Kathleen Hannas självbiografi Rebel Girl – my life as a feminist punk (2024).Ljudklippen i programmet kommer från dokumentärfilmen The Punk Singer (2013) av Sini Anderson, kortfilmen No alternative Girls (1994) av Tamra Davies, Much News (2001) samt Youtubekontona HORNSS (2018), Jenn Jitterbug (2017), bloodofbambi (2021), Jaimestrikesagain (2008) och hudvux (2024).

“B is for bookish, for writers who urge change, like Joan Didion's essays, Naomi Shihab Nye's range.  Brilliant poems, songs, stories, speeches and plays for those writing before us and those writing today.  We know words are vital for the empathy they bring, How Maya Angelou taught us that even caged birds can sing.”  The ABCs of Women's History is an empowering picture book from the New York Times bestselling creative team behind The ABCs of Black History, Rio Cortez and Lauren Semmer. It's a vibrant intersectional celebration of women's power, resilience, and achievement, brought to life through stunning illustrations. In a beautiful picture book in verse brimming with G for Groundbreaking women, National Book Award nominee Rio Cortez and illustrator Lauren Semmer celebrate all the joys, challenges, and historic forward movement of women's history in the United States, with a special focus on the Black women, brown women, transwomen, and others who make change happen. Featured in the book are activists and changemakers like Angela Davis and Marsha P. Johnson, painters and musicians like Georgia O'Keeffe and Kathleen Hanna, scientists and suffragists like Katherine Johnson and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and so many more trailblazing women! The ABCs of Women's History is perfect for providing a conversation starter about equality, women's rights, and the brilliant women who shape our world.

Le Tigre originally formed in 1998. They released their self-titled debut album in October 1999. Spin Magazine called it one of the best albums of the past 30 years, and Pitchfork called it one of the best albums of the 90s. I listened to that album a lot when it came out, and 25 years later, I still hear songs from it everywhere, on TV and in movies, and just out in the world – especially the song “Deceptacon.” For this episode, I talked to Kathleen Hanna and Johanna Fateman from Le Tigre about how they wrote it, and how they put the track together.For more, visit songexploder.net/le-tigre.

The Cinematologists Podcast

In our second episode of the season, we discuss Neil's superb, recently published book Music Films: Documentaries, Concert Films and Other Cinematic Representations of Popular Music. We explore their significance, evolution, and the complexities surrounding their creation and reception, along with Neil's reflections on the challenges of writing for diverse audiences and the expectations of music fans. The conversation touches on the validity of music films in modern culture, the messiness of the genre, and the importance of representation, particularly regarding black artists and women in music. They also examine the ethical implications of music documentaries and the power dynamics at play in the portrayal of artists.  Neil's book is so comprehensive we couldn't cover everything but some of the films under discussion include Don't Look Back (dir. D. A. Pennebaker, 1967), Lonely Boy (dir. Roman Kroitor and Wolf Koenig, 1962), Whatstaxx (dir. Mel Stuart), The Punk Singer (dir. Kathleen Hanna), In Bed with Madonna (dir. Alek Keshishian, 1991), The Last Angel of History (dir. John Akomfrah, 1996), American Interior (dirs. Dylan Goch, Gruff Rhys), Miss Americana (dir. Lana Wilson, 2020), and many more.

People everywhere are hot for heat pumps. These electric appliances—which perform the same heating and cooling tasks as traditional HVAC systems, just much more efficiently—have been outselling gas furnaces over the past couple of years. Their proliferation seems to be pointing more towards an energy-conscious electric future in people's homes. And, four months ago, nine states in the US signed a memorandum of understanding that says that heat pumps should make up at least 65 percent of residential heating, air conditioning, and water-heating shipments by 2030.But, what exactly is a heat pump? How does it work? How much does it cost to replace your furnace with one, and how much money does making the switch actually save you in the long run?

On this week's Talkhouse Podcast we've got a legend of ‘90s-era punk in deep conversation with a songwriter you might be hearing of for the first time: Kathleen Hanna and Jim Andralis. Hanna, of course, was a founding member of Bikini Kill, the band credited with starting the riot grrrl movement and inspiring an incredible number of young women to pick up guitars and claim their place in the rock universe. After Bikini Kill's initial split, Hanna went on to perform in both The Julie Ruin and Le Tigre, though recent years have found her spitting fire with Bikini Kill yet again—they're actually on tour now through September. Hanna also released an excellent memoir this year called Rebel Girl: My Life as a Feminist Punk, which is absolutely worth a read or an audiobook listen—Hanna reads it herself, and it's awesome. Hanna's people approached us about having her chat with songwriter Jim Andralis because, as you'll hear in this chat, she might be his biggest fan. Andralis is a New Yorker whose day job is as a trauma-focused psychotherapist, but who's been writing songs for the past 20 or so years. Considering Hanna's fandom, it might surprise you to learn that Andralis doesn't come out of the punk tradition at all: He's a songwriter in the classic sense, meaning it's tough to pin him into a genre box—Kathleen tries a little bit here, but doesn't come to any conclusions. Andralis recently released his fifth album, Ghosts, check out a song they chat about toward the end of this episode, it's called “Carnival.” Hanna and Andralis jump right into their chat here, and you can tell they're old friends. As you'll hear at the top, Hanna and her band were recently honored by Olympia, Washington with Bikini Kill Day, celebrating a lifetime of achievements. After that, Hanna gets straight to picking Andralis' brain about his lyrics and songwriting. She interprets one song in particular that turns out to be… not quite right, but also exactly right? You'll see. Enjoy. 0:00 – Intro 2:48 – Happy Bikini Kill Day! 9:26 – Kathleen tries to figure out what genre Jim's songs belong in 21:07 – Jim's song about political depression 32:48 – An appreciation of Jamey Johnson 39:05 – "What a dick, if I had written the song that way!"

Being “indie famous” is complicated, and Kathleen Hanna isn't here to water it down. Her career making feminist punk music — most notably in the band Bikini Kill — meant she was attacked for her activism by some and objectified as a symbol by others. But Kathleen and her bandmates continued to fight for respect and wrangle messy topics into punchy songs. Her new memoir, Rebel Girl, is a real treat, and it shows just how much change in the music industry and beyond can be traced back to those efforts. Does that mean Kathleen loves seeing her trailblazing messaging plastered onto throw pillows at Target? As you might expect, that, too, is complicated.

As far as we know, she's shed tears over sushi, birthday cake, and gelato. Why does food make her so emotional? She breaks it down (but doesn't break down!) for host Rachel Belle.  Kathleen, who got her start in the punk scene in Olympia, WA in the early 90s, is best known for being an outspoken feminist and activist; at her early shows she'd speak out about domestic violence and sexual violence between songs.   While Kathleen took her rage to the stage, cookbook author and James Beard Award winning journalist Kathy Gunst, released her outrage through flour, sugar, butter, fruit, and chocolate. We talk about her cookbook, Rage Baking: The Transformative Power of Flour, Fury, and Women's Voices.   Pick up Kathleen's new memoir Rebel Girl!
