no one’s little girl..
[another musical selection from my misspent youth]
I have to dedicate this pretty track to my daughter Kaela. She roolz. And not only does she rool, but she never fails to let me know (in her own way) that she roolz. And watching her growing up slowly but surely towards her teenage years is a treat I wouldn’t miss out on for anything in the world, even if asserting her new found independence involves constantly reminding me how ‘uncool’ I am, and how she’s NOT daddy’s little girl anymore.. ha, ha… Love you princess : )
Anyways this track is by the Raincoats, who were an all woman post-punk band from the late 70’s/early eighties. They mellowed out alot over the years, but their music always stayed women-centric, powerful and uncompromising. They shared a drummer with The Slits (one of my all time favorite bands ever) during their early punk years, and were much loved by Kurt Cobain who had arranged for them to get on the road again and tour with Nirvana in the UK right before he died in 1994..
Maybe I’ll post some of their early punk stuff in the future - it’s in the same vein as some of their post-punk contemporaries ESG, Maximum Joy and Delta 5 - noisy at times, but very melodic and danceable. But for now enjoy this lovely track from their 1884 album “Moving”..
