Me and Kesh been listening to fem grunge a lot lately....



Lyrics_
Bill collectors called today.
(Shove!)
I.R.S. is on my pay.
(Shove!)
My boss says I should comb my hair.
(Shove!)
My father thinks that I'm nowhere.

Get out of my way or I might shove.
GET OUT OF MY WAY OR I'M GONNA SHOVE!

The Landlord doesn't like my dog.
(Shove!)
My eyes are burning from the smog.
(Shove!)
The neighbors say I jam too loud.
(Shove!)
America thinks it should be proud.
(Huah!)

Get out of my way or I might shove.
GET OUT OF MY WAY OR I'M GONNA SHOVE!
Get out of my way or I might shove.
GET OUT OF MY WAY OR I'M GONNA SHOVE!

Some guy just pinched my ass.
(Shove!)
Drunken bums ain't got no class.
(Shove!)
The club says we won't get paid.
(Shove!)
It's been months since I've been laid.


Get out of my way or I might shove.
GET OUT OF MY WAY OR I'M GONNA SHOVE!
GET OUTTA MY WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!


OMG!!!!! HAHHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA, BEEN LAUGHING AT THIS VIDEO FOR HALF AN HOUR! L7 throws a bloody tampon into the stage!


I fucking love L7!!!

CHICKEN AND BOOTY

Hmmmmm, I really have to bite my tongue here. Without getting too pro-black pro-feminist, any party that would normally have booty dancing(!!) and free fried chicken(!!!!!) wouldn't normally be my kinda thing, but this party from Styleslut looks set to liven up my Sunday with an appearance from Baltimore native rapper/dancer Rye Rye. She's got a tune out on Domino records called Hardcore Girls with my good friend Sinden, and I love her track Shakin It to the Ground. Above all, I like her energy. Truth is I LOVE dancing, I dance all night when I'm on a vibe and I love watching people dance, especially American girls who go for it tuffstyle! (Nod to Santogolds amazing backing dancers). See you there!

THRIFT STORE

Because I'm lazy, I've only just unpacked from LA/MEX/NY and I bought so much stuff i forgot about some of it!!! This is probably one of the best things I bought in LA. Its a suede, leopard print bustier. Errrr HELLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!?!? Soooo amazing!! Fits like a dream, 15 bucks. The thrift stores in La are insanely cheap. Expect more pics of my fave finds over the next few weeks...

LA PICTURES

OUR NEW BOYFRIEND

RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW

At the moment I am

looking like a Mexican (or at least trying to)
reading Thus Spake Zarathustra, Nietzsche
missing my flat
listening to the amazing girl cassette tapes I got from Ogga Booga (see below)
drinking water water water in the blistering LA heat
watching You Werent There, a punk film, at Cinefamily
smelling of Hawaiian Tropics tan oil spray
eating Mexican food and Wholefoods
dreaming of nuts
wearing floral dresses and lots of denim
walking in white socks and black Vans all day every day
singing Jewish tunes
trying to get healthy in Venice Beach
wanting to keep my amazing tan

LOS ANGGEEELLLESSSS

Hola!!! Sorry I've been away. I've been manic. I'm now in LA but the week before I left I suddenly got tons of work so by the time I actually came to go on holiday I felt I needed it!! We've been here since Tuesday. Meghans just arrived yay!! I've left my camera at Texan Alex's so no party pics just yet. HOWEVER!!! What i DO have is the best goodies ever from a super cool store called Oogie Boogie that we visited in Chinatwon today. Flo used to work there when she lived in LA and I spent so much money, mainly on things for other people...My ultimate buy was these 4 cassette tapes made by Calvin Johnson. I wanted more but they were $10 each and I'd already picked up a ton on fanzines! Sooooooo obviously I stuck to the girl shit!!! Heres what I got!


At the risk of boring you I'm gonna type out the first 5 tracks so you can get the gist and if I can work out the technology I'll record them and put them up on here.

So here goes:

GIRLS INTERNATIONALE - 60s Female Artists from Foriegn (sic)

BABY BE MINE - R+B Soul Women 45s
Pattie Lenoir + Her Hi-Stands - Take Romance and Give it a Chance
Eloise - Ooh, Baby (wand)
Mamie Galore - Don't Think I Could Stand It
Irma Thomas - Gone
Jackie Verdell - Don't Set Me Free (Decca)

WE WILL BURY YOU - Female New Wave/Punk 1977-82
Pylon - Cool
The Reactors - Membrane
Get Smart! - Eat Sleep a Go-Go
Honey Bane - Girl On the Run
Destroy All Monsters - You're Gonna Die

GIRLS GROW UP FASTER - Girls and Girl Groups 50s and 60s
Sue Lyon - Turn off the Moon
The Swans - You Better Be a Good Girl Now
The Dixie Cups - I'm Gonna Get You Yet
Robin Ward - Dream Boy

I've finally bought a cassette recorder and as I type this I'm listening to WE WILL BURY YOU, while the girls are chilling after a hard days shopping at Melrose Trading Flea Market (where we saw Agnes Deyn and Albert Hammond FYI). Good times...
