AMG Review of Cut
John Dougan
All Music GuideAlmost as well-known for its cover (the three Slits are half-naked and covered in mud) as for its music, Cut is an ebullient piece of post-punk mastery that finds the Slits' interest in Caribbean and African rhythms smoothly incorporated into their harsher punk rock stylings. Ari Up's wandering voice (a touch like Yoko Ono) might be initially off-putting, but not so much so that it makes listening to the record difficult. Six tracks are revamped from earlier Peel Sessions and sound better for the extra effort (especially "New Town" and "Love und Romance"). With its goofy charm, gleeful swing and sway, and subtle yet compelling libertarian feminism, this is one of the best records of the era.

I have been looking forward to seeing them live this weekend for weeks but I can't go. I'm nearly broke and I don't trust my car to make the 3.5 hour trip to DC. I have to work Monday night so I can't make the Charlottesville show either. Oh well at least I get to see a few good local bands tonight plus one out of town band. Time to go drink too much and rock out.Edit: The Slits is who I'm talk...

I've been listening to a ton of Grrrl rock this week. I got some Muffs, Cub, Bratmobile, and a bunch of others. I cannot get this Slits song out of my head. It's so awesome. I love Ari Up's voice. It gives me shivers. I've been looking up some albums I don't have. I didn't realize that Kill Rock Stars had rereleased so many classic Grrrl ablums. I think I'm going to download Liliput, De...

Track:Typical Girl
Still feeling my way around this Mog thing. So far I really dig it. Brilliant idea. To test how things work here's a video. The Slits-Typical Girls. As time goes on I'll post more often. I recently abandoned MySpace so Mog will fill the time I spent there.
