[Kawasaki, Japan. March 12th, 2011] Terre Thaemlitz (who is behind G.R.R.L.) has had no shortage of guest appearance around the world's music blogs. She has had multiple appearances in prior interviews, reviews, academies, side-bar commentaries, symposiums, dissents, explorations, and even other podcast submissions. Those of us who have had a chance to chat with him are quite fond of Terre. This podcast/interview is simply taking a look at one of her projects that doesn't get as much attention as say, "DJ Sprinkles." The G.R.R.L. project does two primary things: by nature of its very name, it challenges the meaning of gender and the culture of gender roles ("what is a 'g.r.r.l' and what does it stand for?"), and it makes a stand against the economics and processes of the music industry. The tracks made under the G.R.R.L. guise are deliberately varied and are collectively unclassifiable (they're incapable of being pigeon-holed). Amongst the many genres available on G.R.R.L.'s self titled CD are "Techxotica & Electrocynicism," "Improvisational Lounge," and "Abstract Drum & Bass." In an industry that perpetually seeks to "define, package, and sell," G.R.R.L. refuses to join in - G.R.R.L. would not be that controllable desire you can own. The following is pretty straight-forward; a quality few words from Terre Thaemlitz in regards to elements surrounding the ideology of G.R.R.L., and a selection of some of her best tracks compiled into a podcast. Be sure to also check out the segment when Terrre spoke on NPR as well as when we interviewed her previously back in the early days of MLAT. The podcast included here was curated and mixed by MLAT.
