noisy noise
then i listen to a bunch of female fronted punk bands. great energy but a law of diminishing returns and none of them get near hearing pj harvey for the first time. or now for that matter. but i had a lovely shouty afternoon.
what a great noise this squad make. their videos tho, genuinely awful and what live performances i saw were not the best. this tho, is a laugh and, if was i was going to soundtrack rita bullwinkel's novel headshot, this would be ideal. their follow up i hate when girls die is an absolute metal riff monster
pleasing old school vibes. their frontperson knows what the job is and the band is supertight.
as above, frontperson knows how to do her job and band solid. i read criticism of them that their latest stuff has become too generic but the l7 vibe here is clear to hear and i'm not complaining
at points their garage band vibe seems almost too self conscious but i love this lot. plus the bass player is no nonsense
and this? if i was in the car and in the mood, this would be my happy place

'I never want to abandon my bike. I see my grandfather, now in his seventies and riding around everywhere. To me that is beautiful. And the bike must always remain a part of my life.'

'The bicycle is the most civilised conveyance known to man. Other forms of transport grow daily more nightmarish. Only the bicycle remains pure in heart.'

'When I go biking I am mentally far, far away from civilisation. The world is breaking someone else's heart.'
diane ackerman
'The bicycle had, and still has, a humane, almost classical moderation in the kind of pleasure it offers. It is the kind of machine that a Hellenistic Greek might have invented and ridden. It does no violence to our normal reactions: it does not pretend to free us from our normal environment.'
j.b.jackson
'When the spirits are low. When the day appears dark. When work becomes monotonous. When hope seems hardly worth having. Just mount a bicycle and go out for a spin down the road, without thought on anything but the ride you are taking.'
arthur conan doyle
