what the faq is wears the trousers?
  a new online magazine that doffs a jaunty-angled cap
  to its US cousins & takes a resolutely anglocentric peek
  at the world of women in music. it's a completely free,
  not-for-profit, blood, sweat & tears included roundup of
  all that is new, essential & downright exciting about the
  contribution of women worldwide to the music industry.

  so you're firebreathing man-haters?
  er, no. some of us like men a whole lot actually. we're
  just sick of the majority of the music press who seem to   fail to realise that rock/"credible" music is not naturally
  a male thing, but it is actively produced as such in line
  with some ancient misconception that proliferates the
  belief that what's a correct or incorrect behaviour for
  a woman is different to that of a man. if that's a little
  feministic for you, our equal opportunities schtick is
  that we believe that female artists, & british female
  artists in particular, go under-represented in the media.
  either way, this is our way of celebrating their music.

  righty-o, but what's with all the orange?
  it's the editor's favourite colour so lump it.

  so what's on offer here?
  this is the only place on the net with a dedicated &
  up-to-date news service specifically for women in
  music. we also feature excellent in-depth reviews of
  as many releases as possible, together with interviews,
  retrospective career pieces & occasional special reports.
  you'll also find introductions to all the hottest new
  artists you really don't want to miss - it's our mission
  (& we've chosen to accept it) to keep you informed so
  we can support these artists & give them the exposure
  they deserve.

   anything else?
  yeah, we'll point you in the right direction to find all the
  best legal MP3s you can get your audiophilic hands on.
  golly, we might even host our own exclusives one day.
  but what really makes us the kindest, most generous
  webzine in the world is that we want to encourage you
  to get the blazes away from your VDUs every once in a
  while. yes, to save you being glued to the screen, we
  are also rather handily available to download in PDF
  format as a quarterly issue. hence, you can rest your
  poor 21st century eyes & enjoy us in all environs.

   fab! but how can i get involved?
  if you're a budding music writer or just an all-round
  music nut who knows their way around a pocket
  thesaurus, we'd love to hear from you. you can send
  your work to greetings@thetrousers.co.uk & we'll get
  back to you. we pride ourselves on the quality of our
  reporting so please don't be offended if we have to put
  our editing hats on.

  if you're an artist, an artist's agent or just some weirdo
  who likes sending people CDs, we are very happy to
  receive discs for review (be they albums, singles, EPs
  or even demos). we try to ensure everything we receive
  gets a mention!

  Please send the discs (preferably with a press release
  but a post-it with your name on will do) to:

  Alan Pedder
  17b Church Crescent
  Muswell Hill
  London N10 3NA, UK

   ok, nice blag, but what if i'm a photographer who's
  really annoyed that you've used one of my pics
  without permission?
  please send us an email & we'll credit you or take it
  down immediately. you know what this big web thing's
  like, it's so hard to figure out who took what photo.
  please don't sue us, we've spent all our money on this
  website & have nothing to give you but our thieving,
  er, borrowing magpie souls & a squillion hail marys.
