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.
