Beth Ditto is cool. Even better, a cool lesbian. With curves!!! :D. She screams a bit too much for my ears, but hey, when I am drunk I just feel like jumping and boxing in the air when I listen to Standing in the Way of Control.
"The band's breakthrough song "Standing in the Way of Control" was written by Ditto as a response to her government's decision to deny gays the right to marriage in the U.S. "Nobody in the States was that surprised or shocked by what Bush did, but it made everyone I know feel helpless and cheated," Ditto says. "I wrote the chorus to try and encourage people not to give up. It's a scary time for civil rights, but I really believe the only way to survive is to stick together and keep fighting."" (Wikipedia)
Standing in the way of control, we will live our liiiiiiives (liiiives, liiives, liiives, ooooouuuuuu, heeeeeeeeey)
The Gossip
I have to go back to Razzmatazz, where the "children" go dance, the only place in Barcelona where they would play such songs... (we missed Cansei de Ser Sexy live last Friday, but it was worth it). I don't mind at all getting older, don't mind becoming a fake academic intellectual, but I want good music!!!! Tired of the 80s...
