As I record this, I'm still processing the loss of one of my all-time favorite human beings, Lou Collar from Sick of It All.
I'm getting my thoughts together on that, and I'll be recording something for Lou very soon.
Couple of weeks ago, we lost Jennifer Finch, the artist and musician best known as the bass player in L7.
She played on their first four albums, and rejoined in 2014, until she became ill this summer and died of an aggressive form of brain cancer.
For my generation, L7 were an important band and inspiration, and a beacon of hope for women wanting to do music in a massively male-dominated scene.
And Jennifer was an important archetype for a lot of my friends, showing a way of being, a way of presenting yourself that was assured, aggressive, and fun.
She defied objectification, presenting an alternative to more obviously feminine, passive ways of dressing, of being on stage, of performing.
And that's not a judgment on artists who choose that sort of thing, of course, but alternatives are always good.
This episode is a conversation I recorded some time ago, before we knew Jennifer was ill.
I hadn't put it out yet because I made a mistake on the recording, so it's all on one track, which just makes it a nightmare to edit, but the conversation is fun and it's a suitable tribute I think.
