The Slits, Gong, Kirsty MacColl

I am going on vacation in eight days. I cannot wait! This is a lame blog entry, so I will write about something else.

I have made a lot of music discoveries the last couple of days. The first is a punk band from the late '70s, The Slits. Well, they were originally a punk band, but their album Cut, is more like a reggae/dub kink of a thing. It's fuckin' awesome! It's a surprisingly catchy fun record, but the some of the topics are bad, like shoplifting, drug use and etc. etc. That doesn't stop me from listening to it. No sirree!

Next: Kirsty MacColl. A wonderful English singer/songwriter who is an awesome interpreter of other people's songs. Her covers of The Smiths and Billy Bragg are great! Also, what an amazing voice. Fantastic.

Now: Gong. What a weird band. Kind of like Pink Floyd but trippier. They have a song called Pothead Pixies, and another called Witches Song - I Am Your Pussy. Some crazy shiznit. I like it!

Anyhow, what a way to spend a rainy day! Listening to good music and cleaning the flat. Nice.
