7/26/10 GIRLS! GIRLS! GIRLS! (Part One)

For our second show, we started having themes to make the variety less chaotic and more organized. The theme was GIRLS! GIRLS! GIRLS! All girls, all the time. For girls, by girls, to girls, about girls, everything GIRLS!
1.  "Girls" The Beastie Boys, Licensed to Ill, 1983
The perfect way to celebrate music about girls, with a song entirely dedicated to them! Although I prefer my girls to do more than do dishes and laundry, I prefer they all have new wave haircuts.
2.  "Real Live Lover" Pat Downey & The Vistas, Girls in the Garage Vol. 2
Girls in the Garage are compilations of garage girl bands in the sixties; truly great compilations indeed
3.  "Not Dangerous" Nons, Split 7" with Live Girls
Nons are a Canadian quartet of (mostly) girls that released this split 7" in 2006 I believe?
4.  "Puzzle Pieces" Tiger Trap, Tiger Trap, 1993
Tiger Trap were one of the many great bands that released on K Records, the home to many  acts such as Beat Happening, Beck, The Microphones, and the list goes on! This album was their first and only, but its influence is still apparent today. Rose Melberg, lead singer and guitarist, once joked that Calvin Johnson only signed them to K Records because he felt bad for using their name as a song title on Beat Happening's 1992 record You Turn Me On.
5.  "Lola" The Raincoats, The Raincoats, 1979
Half of the groups on this list wouldn't exist wihout the Raincoats. What would we have done had Ana de Silva and Gina Birch not met at Hornsey College of Art in 1977? I prefer not to think about that
6.  "Throw Aggi Off The Bridge" Black Tambourine, Complete Recordings, 1999
7.  "Mind Your Own Business" Delta 5, Singles & Sessions 1979–1981
