Comment:

Just like the Yardbirds gave us Jeff Beck [i]and[/i] Jimmy Page [i]and[/i] Eric Clapton, Bikini Kill proved to be a fertile spawning ground for double-x-chromosome spinoffs. The group's cofounder Kathleen Hanna covered Noise Addict's "I Wish I Was Him" pretty faithfully, right down to the out-of-tune acoustic guitar…but with a twist: it was written by a boy, and Hanna torques the lyric around 180 degrees, claiming her hero "thinks he can be a girl better than me." Hanna defies tradition again, with a riot grrrl track that doesn't sound very riot-y, in "Apt. #5," a lo-fi-meets-low-budget kiss-off from her alter ego, Julie Ruin. And when Hanna decided to take Ruin out of the bedroom studio and onto the road, she assembled the post-punk electro-pop trio Le Tigre, whose "Deceptacon (DFA Remix)" maintains the grrrl-power attitude, but with a suburban dance-funk groove.
