A different Sounds of Seattle Playlist

About a year ago, when I got Spotify, is when I had the idea to make a playlist around Seattle-based musicians.  I looked back on it this morning and while there were plenty of familiar artists and songs, there were some I had actually forgotten about a little over the past year.  The Gits were a woman-led grunge band whose lead singer was murdered after they recorded their second album.  In response, Joan Jett came to Seattle and performed a live set with the remaining members as her backing band, the set was recorded and released under the name "Evil Stig," "Live Gits" backwards.  I had also forgotten all-girl hard rock group Thunderpussy (please excuse the name, they do make good music) had released their first EP around this time and contributed a Bachman-Turner Overdrive cover to the "Fighting With My Family" movie, a biopic about WWE wrestler Paige.  Anyway, here's what I made about a year to ten months ago.
