Typical Girls: Women in Punk/Post-Punk/Underground Music (Circa 1975-1980s)

[HunnyPi007 AT aol.com]

Yes, this is THE BEST THING EVER! I was determined and thrilled to get the 7" along with the album when it was originally released in '81 and played it over and over and over to the point that I could recite parts of it. Of course, I was tickled to be able to play in on the air later when I had a radio show of my own. This singular radio appearance still cracks me up today, and I'm glad other TGs are finally getting to hear it (and that I can now easily add an mp3 of it in my collection).

The link is working now, Joly, so people can hear it here: Dangerous Minds | The Slits: College radio stand-off between ‘a coven of witches and a mob of townspeople,’ 1980

"WE'RE NAMED AFTER A SLIT DRUM. IT'S GOT A SLIT IN THE SIDE OF IT. [Banshee noises, etc!]"

Typical regards, 

Lydia

Being from Madison and a listener-supporter of our fabulous local community station, WORT-FM (89.9), I was thrilled and totally amused to hear this fantastic bit of history. I have Return of the Giant Slits on vinyl that I bought over 20 years ago in Madison, but it didn't come with the promo 45 and I'd never heard of this until now. Brilliant!

RIP Ari.
