Women on Top
Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
The most powerful women making music: Billboard Magazine has just released its list of "The Top 20 Women in Music," from controversial pop star Courtney Love to the best female role models in the Christian world. Also: Jazz pianist Jason Moran and performance artist Joan Jonas perform live in anticipation of their installation coming to DIA Beacon. Finally: Tower Records, the 46-year-old record store chain, which had filed for Chapter 11 in August, was sold to the liquidation company Great American in a bankruptcy auction. Was it a victim of online retail and big-box stores or did it have itself to blaim? Joining us is Dale Kasler, a reporter for the Sacramento Bee, where the chain is based.
