“Elsewhere, local scribe Alex Teitz is the force behind Femmusic Web magazine (www.femmusic.com) , a mostly all-woman digital space that focuses on local and national recording artists who bear the X chromosome. Teitz, who offers concert and CD reviews and lots of links, is also behind the Colorado Music Initiative, a project she shares with the folks at www.denvermusicplus.com.

The idea is that while there are plenty of publications that include music coverage, there aren't any devoted solely to it. Should the response indicate that people want such a thing, Teitz is prepared to attack the project with gusto.“ Westword January 13, 2000 “Backwash” by Laura Bond
