Hi Everyone!!

My name is Allie, and I'm your new host for Mighty Aphrodite! I plan to keep the format of this show basically the same, with the focus being on female vocalists. I know what I like, and I know what I usually play. What I'd really like to do is bring a large variety of female vocalists to the Atlanta music scene, and for that I'd really love listener input!

While I have a large collection of "girl rock," I am by no means THE expert. If there's anything you'd like to hear, or some genre that I am neglecting, please let me know. Like I said, the goal here is to create exposure for all sorts of women that rock. Feedback is vital!

That said, I plan to use this blog to post my playlists for the shows as they air. I'll label each post as the date the show aired. The following is this week's playlist. It's mostly accurate, though some songs may be slightly out of order. Thank you so much for listening, and I look forward to a great year!

1) Anthems for a Seventeen Year-Old Girl -- Broken Social Scene, You Forgot it in People
2) Oh Mi Amour -- Dressy Bessy, Sound Go Round
3) Trolley Wood -- Eisley, Room Noises
4) Heartbeats -- The Knife, Deep Cuts
5) Mushaboom (K-Os Mix) -- Feist, Open Season: Remixes & Collabs
6) Cheek to Cheek -- Billie Holiday, All or Nothing at All
7) Smoke -- Crash Vegas, Red Earth
8) Lovely 2 C U -- Goldfrapp, Supernature
9) Rabbit Fur Coat -- Jenny Lewis with the Watson Twins, Rabbit Fur Coat
10) Wake Up Exhausted -- Teagan & Sara, So Jealous
11) Turtle Island -- Beach House, Devotion
12) Cracked LCD -- Ladytron, Light & Magic
13) A Cause Des Garçons -- Yelle, Pop Up
14) The Bomb -- Bitter:Sweet, Drama
15) The Sea is Calm -- CocoRosie, Noah's Ark
16) Come Back Margaret -- Camera Obscura, Let's Get Out of this Country
