Song of the day – 344: Suburban Mousewife (free download)

This is exciting: it seems that we might have a Poison Girls/Fatal Microbes situation going down here.

Song of the day – 343: The Coathangers

Vice has them as, “The Black Lips with boobs”. Man, and they say the art of music criticism is dead.

Song of the day – 342: Skinny Girl Diet (free download)

Riot Grrrl, like I always understood it … i.e. female empowering, and not scared to experiment with new musical forms, and not rooted.
