Song of the day – 269: Pussy Patrol

My iTunes library throws up the most unexpected delights sometimes.

I can’t recall if this was a recommendation, or what. Really, it’s a no-brainer that…

1. I’m going to love most any all-female band called something like Pussy Patrol.
2. I’m going to love a trio over most anything else.
3. I’m going to love most bands who favour antique artefacts, such as cassette tapes.
4. I’m going to love most any band whose self-described sound is “3 nerds locked in their dirty bedrooms for too long. tired of not knowin how to play, they tried anyway.”
5. I’m going to love most any band who wanted to be The Spice Girls, “but our drummer don’t wash her hair every week”.
6. I’m going to love a band who favour rudimentary iconoclasm and thumped/brat drums over most anything else.
7. I’m going to love most any band who shout and harmonise like The Shaggs, or Bratmobile.
8. You can’t deny the appeal of a song called ‘Lick My Periods’.
9. You can’t deny the appeal of all the above.
10. It’s just a fucking shame this French trio no longer exist.

No video to watch, but here’s a link to the MySpace – I totally recommend the song ‘Life Is Too Short’. That’s also the title of a split cassette release with Neonates (Ludus to PP’s Petticoats)… well worth tracking down, if you can.

My name is Everett True. I am a music critic. This is what I do. I criticise music. The clue is in my job description – music critic. I do not consider myself a journalist, as I do not research or report hard news. I do not consider myself a commentator as I believe that everyone should be a participant. I criticise people and in return I am not surprised if other people criticise me. It is part of the whole deal of being in the public arena. I am Everett True. Believe in me and I have power like a God. Quit believing in me and I no longer exist.
