The Mo-dettes - White Mice

What can I say...I don't get to play this song enough.

From Kate Korris of The Slits and The Raincoats, a short lived band and this is the only single of theirs I have, from Rough Trade's Post-Punk Vol 1 collection. I did find some Peel Session songs on the internet and they're good enough to want to find more of their stuff. I just don't have it as a high priority because I'm a perpetually broke DJ and this isn't the best dance music because it's so obscure. But I love it. I love girl punk/post-punk groups.

The Slits - Typical Girls

Well, I haven't been keeping up with my blog, have I?

The Slits are one my favorite bands. That cool mix of dub/reggae and punk with feminine allure.

Typical Girls, 1979, with it's B-side cover of I Heard It Through The Grapevine are two of my essential songs to DJ with.

Being an atypical girl, myself, the A-side really touches on my feminist side, you can look up the lyrics for yourself. Ari Up's voice on this single and the album Cut are wonderful, but the real prize is Budgie (before joining Siouxsie and the Banshees) on drums. This is great dance music all around.
