Sleater-Kinney Articles

Yeah, yeah, yeah, the mainstream media (with the possible exception of Greil Marcus, but is he really "mainstream"?)  remains resolutely stupid about the riot grrrl thing (not to mention women a pretty sepia picture in music in general). Still, it's interesting to read what they've had to say about S-K. Below are links to articles about them, including reviews, interviews, and essays.Some pieces are on this site; the others are links, either to the original piece or to a fan site that has copied it, or to a fan site that has its own archive. I do NOT hold the copyright to these pieces. Have fun reading!
