Good morning everyone,

I hope you're well! I started this week with a theme, and then I had a weird if still related idea, and that's my way of saying I hope you enjoy Fem Fri this morning.

The theme is, here are some really great cover versions by women of works by men! Let's start with Kelsey Lu, whose gig I went to on Wednesday and who has a stellar cover version of I'm Not In Love:

Here's a perennial classic; I love this School of Seven Bells cover version of Lil Wayne's How To Love. When I come home from work at the end of the day this is the song I want to listen to the most often:

Finally, here's something I've been enjoying on Twitter recently; Sophie Devlins's fun account @tswifteliot13 which combines beautifully the lyrics of Taylor Swift with the poetry of TS Eliot. If you're wondering how well that works, the answers are (a) extremely and (b) stop wondering now, because I have reconstructed The Love Song of Tay Alfred Prufrock from the tweets of @tswifteliot13 and read it aloud for you to enjoy here:

Enjoy the sounds and feminist reappropriations, everyone,

A xx.
