[diarreahchacha]

this is fucking awesome. wish i could have a copy of "getting close to nothing". too bad I was six when it came out lol. 

[tyronerodgers]

Was just browsing througb the old chart show stuff and found this. Mad my day. Don't remember it from the time as this was when I was 13 and just before I started listening to Peel, Radcliffe etc.... Great stuff. What happened?

[k1kuchy0]

Man, still have this on 7" in its original fabric bag....love it xx

This song is really mesmerising, I'm so glad to find some little gems like that! Thanks :D

remember seeing this video on the chart show one saturday morning and consequently saw them in jb's dudley (the old jb's not the newer one that exists now) around 93. great times. didn't they have something to do with the voodoo girls?

[timpurr]

i think you're thinking of anjali who was original mambo taxi drummer (before this single came out). she went on to front voodoo queens.

xx Delia xx

[miketb42]

one of the better songs of the uk riot grrl movement...

[captainbollocks]

This sort of stuff was being done before that, it just got a bit more notice till someone relised there was no profit in it.

You couldn't even buy it in Luton, got my copy in London.
