Ari Up was in the Slits and is also the godmother of someone famous but the name is escaping me. The single Baby Mother is OK but the two tracks on the B side are better.
I got this 7 inch at Rough Trade in London last week. I haven't posted in too long so I'm just going to post shit without explaining it. This 7 inch does have a remix by Alec Empire
I love Buffalo Daughter. I just wore my New Rock/No New Rock T shirt this weekend. This 7 inch was recorded live at Club Quattro in Osaka, Japan on July 6th, 1999. I saw them once live at the Grand Royal CMJ showcase at Irving Plaza and it was pretty great.
I really like this record a lot. I was kind of surprised that they're on Mad Decent since they're more rock than anything else. They're also playing a show soon - May 27th at the Bell House in Brooklyn.
I Was King are from Norway. I like the Norman Black track better than It's All You but both are recommended. They're playing two shows next weekend in NYC and I'm thinking of checking one out. May 30th at Mercury and the 31st at Union Hall.
