You Got To Admire His Balls!

I'm not talking about the Pointman in the video I'm talking about this one...

Girls Will Be Girls (The Culture Show BBC 2015)

At the height of the punk explosion almost 40 years ago, a handful of women completely redefined what a woman in music could do. Through sheer talent and lack of fear, they pushed themselves on to a male-dominated music scene and became part of a movement that radically changed the cultural landscape. 
Along with Siouxsie Sioux, Poly Styrene and Chrissie Hynde, the Slits were among punk's most important figures and their guitarist Viv Albertine’s memoir, Clothes, Clothes, Clothes, Music, Music, Music, Boys, Boys, Boys, chronicles life as part of this revolutionary vanguard. 
Miranda Sawyer meets up with Viv Albertine and some of the other key female figures of the era, including Chrissie Hynde, The Raincoats, and punk anti-heroine Jordan, to look at how they inspired a generation of young women with the notion that anyone could do anything if they wanted to. And she explores whether the punk spirit still survives today

Bec Taylor & The Lyrebirds

Second single from the forthcoming album released this Friday (23/4/21)  
Here's the first single released a couple of months ago  You can watch the video HERE 
The first time I met up with Bec was down at The Bendigo Hotel in Collingwood when Glitoris were playing there. Bec was drumming that night and I went down with my ex-wife as she is our future daughter in law. Unfortunately the Coronavirus lockdown put the kibosh on the original planned date for the wedding, but having met her (and all her family) I have to say that my son is one lucky guy who should enrol HERE
