On Friday we mark the 1948 anniversary of the US air force accepting its first female recruits by featuring the girls who have made it in a so-called boys world. From Debbie Harry to Siouxsie Sioux the theme is all about the women who are the lone female in an all male line-up.

The Low Anthem - Ghost Woman Blues

Airborne Toxic Event - Welcome to Your Wedding Day
Lost in my Mind - The Head and the Heart
any of these would be great.

So sadly that means we cant have White Stripes, the Ting Tings and Peters and Lee but thankfully it also excludes the Eurthymics and the Carpenters.

see not much has changed on the blog while I stepped away to Facebook?!
Will we get spoiled with T'Pau belting out China In Your Hand tonight? I am certain SG, Norrie and P Dantic all love a bit of Ms Decker....Of course I'd all be in favour of some Catatonia but we really wouldn't want to go down that path would we?!
I always loved the Delgados and I have to say Emma Pollock often stole the show for me in her own modest way...if only Vic was presenting tonight ;-)
