She Is Living In And Out Of Tune
Written by DJ Mandrews on October 2, 2015
on the uncanny valley this week:
kukl / tappi tikarrass / can / the fall / sonic youth / danielle dax / the slits / brian eno / the breeders / the cult / siouxsie and the banshees / iggy pop / the buzzcocks / pixies / esg
* “esg” stands for “emerald, sapphire, and gold” (what a bunch of punks)
** “can” stands for “communists, anarchists, and nihilists” (what a bunch of hippies)
*** kukl and tappi tikarrass were early adopters of that oh so special björk sound (i’ll bet you couldn’t tell it was her)
**** brix smith start, kim althea gordon, kimberley ann deal think it’s pretty quaint being called “the girl in the band”
***** iggy, pete, charles, and ian ARE the girl in the band
****** danielle dax needs a band like a fish needs a bicycle
******* brian eno: i’m my own worst critic. brian eno’s cat: the devil you say.
******** siouxsie: reigning queen of the uncanny valley (sorry ava, samantha, galatea, s1m0ne, eliza doolittle, megan halsey)
