At the risk of sounding like a gushing schoolgirl, I just have to tell all of
you that: If you haven't heard _Return of the Giants Slits_ yet, you *must*
get it if =only= to hear "IMPROPERLY DRESSED"!
I mean, up until now, my most favorite Slits song has probably been the
"Earthbeat/Wedding Song" (off the peel sessions album) but I have found
myself equally drawn to "Improperly Dressed" -- I can't articulate it well
yet (I've been formulating phrases to describe its appeal but nothing has
arisen that I care to share...)
How could I have gone on this long not having heard this song? I do not know.
Of course, I realize that everything I own/hear by the Slits is fantastic.
So, my exclusion of _Cut_ in this discussion by no means indicates that I
find any of it to be subpar (what a sacrilege!). And I change my mind with
mood, anyhow. But this is my current mood/state of mind.
