Musical Monday: Skinny Little Bitch

Umm....I have nothing against (really really really) skinny girls....;} I mean skinny girls that shouldn't be THAT THIN if you know what I mean. It's kinda sad if you really think about it. Why does our society want US (ladies) to be so so so TINY!??! Have you seen the shorts they sell lately? Very scary...wouldn't be caught DEAD in 'em...even if I only weighed 100 pounds.

Anyways.....

This song is just very...true in many ways. And it flatout rules! Therefore, I enjoy it very much (been listening to it a lot lately). And, YAY, my boyfriend and I will be seeing 'em LIVE in October (they will be opening KMDFM's show)....can't wait cuz they sound like they will ROCK!!! ^_^

Hope you enjoy your week as well as "Skinny Little Bitch" by Angelspit...who are from down under. Seriously, they are from Australia.

OH & here's the lyrics directly from Angelspit's website...with the video below that.
(BTW: I chose the remix version for you to listen to-was the version I heard first thanks to my BF...so the lyrics are not exact-just a lil' FYI.)

SKINNY LITTLE BITCH

I overcame my bone structure and metabolism
I made myself engage in mind-numbing conversation
A fad diet left me with skin, bone and bitterness
starved myself to a petite listening to repetitive electro shit

Prey to the fairies
she got her wish
tied up and vacuous
she made the switch
step into her carriage
put on the ritz
saliva laced malicious
skinny little bitch (singin’)

LA LA LA LA

hey, like my tats? Full sleeve, Black and White
2 toned, no-ones’ home, in today, out tonight
shiny happy die alone, viscous girls, plastic guys
you keep on scratching my back and I’ll scratch out your eyes

(he is the) home coming queen, hip new breed of clique
wears a Tiara made of daggers and is in the top 8
you throw him a kiss he throws hi-voltage bouquets
if he can’t have your affection then he’ll thrive on your hate

membrane of bitterness
words that rip
Topped of with a tongue with your name on it’s tip
Hatred for a skeleton
ugly and rich
all wrapped up in a skinny little bitch (singin')

LA LA LA LA

Yeah Yeah Yeahs: Heads Will Roll video

...as some of you know, I HEART the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. And I happen to really love their second single, "Heads Will Roll," which will be released (w/awesome remixes) July 14th on I-tunes. This song is special to me because 1-Hm, the words "Off with your head!" are used...2-as well as the great lyric "Looking-glass, take the past. Shut your eyes, realize." Can we say very ALICE-inspired?!!? And I just found their video for it so I just HAD to post it. (Included in this video are: a dancing werewolf, confetti/glitter, and chopped up bodies-that's at the end...so watch the WHOLE thing, o.k.?!!?)

I think this song is my Looking-Glass theme of the year...for the reasons listed above. I'm bummed Mike and I didn't get to see 'em live-$$$ is very tight until we get our roomie next month. So hopefully they'll come around again. We've seen 'em twice before and they are AWESOME live....LOVE Karen O.-she's one hell of a great singer/front woman/entertainer!!!

Please enjoy "Heads Will Roll!"~

"Brush it up, rip it down, expensive glorified wallpaper..."

Mike and I recently bought a 3 song EP off I-tunes. And I am really loving this song by CHICKS ON SPEED. (The other 2 songs are remixes.) They know A LOT about lots of things...but the 3 main things they seem to write/sing about is: ART, our CULTURE in general (and how crazy it can be), and well, being a girl cuz it's an ALL GIRL BAND. Hm...I'd give my left ear to see 'em live. Yes, just like Van Gogh! ;}

Please enjoy "Art Rules." I posted the lyrics because they are...AWESOME...and the song is too of course! (I guess I'm beginning to see art a lil' differently since opening an ETSY shop but I have kinda always felt this way about ART in general) ...I mean really "Where are ALL the women?" Oh, "Underneath the men." So very very true! Hope this entertains you!~




ART RULES

Brush it up...

I'll start a recipe...
It's two cups of gelitin,
mix it well, stir a concept,
technology as well.

Whip in some finance
a pinch of cocaine,
add a harmless scandal,
a media plan
all cooked up by a right hand man
- right hand man.

Andy Warhol, Valie Export,
what is juxtaposition?
Art is a playground
for people who have everything.

The rich will always be with us,
Art Basel, Miami,
the Venice Biennale
more controlled than lottery

Always modern, who's on top,
the artists or the dealers?
Where are all the women,
they are underneath the men.

Invest in a collection
or buy credibility.
Who cares about the content,
just match the tapestry.

/* CHORUS-TWICE
Brush it up, rip it down,
expensive glorified wallpaper,
Brush it up, rip it down,
art's the rule, cash the tool! */

Are you a nobody,
who'd die and get famous,
your own retrospective
at just 33!

What looks good today,
will it look good tomorrow?
Destroy your career
in one brush stroke,

Art in public spaces,
government founded crap,
the buro-arty-experts
their hands under the tap

Project one hit wonders
always in the front row.
It's Jeffrey Deitch,
that heat seeking missile.

/* CHORUS */

Joseph Beuys had no choice,
felt and fat on his hat
Lit up the art world
with this lemon light bulb.

Miss Tracey's gossip column
which handbag did you buy?
It's a game, lets have sex,
but you are too drunk again.

Charles Saatchis burning,
he's lost his edge on taste
He's so now and then,
he puts his art to waste.

Jake and Dinos Chapman,
they're selling masterpieces
Dog returns to vomit
now is this really art?

/* CHORUS */
