There's no way I could do this week without any Ani. This is the first song off her first album and also the first album of hers I ever heard. A girl at my high school loaned it to me, and it just about blew my mind. This also marks the moment I when I began moving away from top-40 radio.

I know Bootsy said a while back he never really got into Ani Difranco. Fair enough. As a mainstream-radio-listening wannabe feminist at a suburban high school full of jocks, this was just the right music for me at the right time.
I honestly cannot push a Women in Rock week without Ani. Seriously, homegirl kills the guitar, and is a ridiculously good songwriter to boot. Going further back in the catalog here, but it's all good.

To be sure, I'm not sure why she skipped the heart of the bridge, but oh well.
I've always meant to buy a drive by truckers album, but have never really gotten around to it. Any suggestions on where to start?
