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

[Erin Fleming <erinflemingburns AT gmail.com>]

Awesome, thank you so much Dina for the heads up about Neo Boys!

Personally, I prefer the song "I'm Free" by Stef Petticoat:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PziiWT05udg

:)

Cheers,
Erin

So it was the Neo Boys covering the Stones which makes a helluva lot more sense.

Wikipedia confirms my vague memory. (Like a lot of people here & elsewhere, I own tons more records ... & CDs ... & tapes ... than I'll ever get a chance to listen to; the Soup Dragons LP in question is one of the first category.) 

Whether that's the same as the Neo Boys track, I have no idea; don't yet own it, & I'm waiting to see if I have income in the coming weeks. (I don't work for the government -- god forbid! -- but the nonprofit that employs me operates mostly with federal money, & it this idiotic budget impasse results in a shutdown, it's unpaid leave time as of Tuesday) before remedying that.

Didn't the Soup Dragons have a (quasi-)hit called "I'm Free" back in the day? Thought it was a Stones cover, or something. Never paid any attention at the time, though.

Hey folks,

I'm really into the K recs Neo Boys reissue.

Here's what pitchfork wrote: http://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/15963-neo-boys-give-me-the-message/

Here's the K bio: http://krecs.com/artists/neo-boys/

The first disc is very familiar (in a good way) on the typical tip but it gets even better on disc 2,. IMHO.

For those who know them....Can you tell me if  "I'm Free" is a cover. I know there was a 90s hit version of that, but I don't know whose egg this chicken begat.
