Several female rock groups have taken up the sex-positive mantel, distributing zines on female sexuality (including ejaculation) at their shows. Does this mark a brave new way of approaching sex education? Or is it just another watered-down stunt? More »

Four young Saudi women are challenging taboos by forming their own rock band. They're called the Accolade, after a pre-Raphaelite painting that founder Dina (band members gave their first names only to protect themselves) likes because "it shows a woman being satisfied with a man." Though Saudi women can't perform in public, and the Accolade currently practices in secret to avoid punishment by the religious police, they hope play real concerts someday, perhaps abroad. “It’s important for them to see what we’re capable of,” Dina says. They're also looking for a drummer. "Five guys have offered," says band member Lamia, but they really want a woman. [NYT] More »

A documentary that was 11 years in the making, Patti Smith: Dream of Life focuses on the poster girl for the protopunk scene as she attempts to revive her musical career. Directed and filmed in black-and-white by commercial fashion photographer Steven Sebring, the film focuses less on Smith's past and more on who she has become, as well as her philosophical ramblings on various subjects. There is no real chronological structure to the film, and by not supplying viewers with enough Smith history, the film inevitably makes itself only available to those who are already fans. However, Smith was never about being accessible and conventional, so it is perhaps only fitting that her documentary does away with standard rock doc traditions. Check out the mixed reviews after the jump. More »
