I think this song is a tour de force.
Six minutes of musical poetry with a spiky little lick, an expletive that comes like a smack in the face, and that maniacal laugh. All I could say when it finished was, “Bloody hell!”
Whack the volume up to 11 (natch), sit back, close your eyes, and see what you think.
Are there any songs which have left you with your mouth agape?

She’s great. Saw her supporting Neko Case at the Village Underground a few years ago – she came out on stage unassumingly and dressed in denim (the audience assumed she was a roadie) and with no introduction launched into an astonishing acapella spiritual delivered with the force of a hurricane. She then strapped on an electric guitar, which she introduced as her band, and ran through a set of highly ambitious and complicated song-suites with the attack of the Ramones. Hoping she visits the UK again sometime.

reminds me a bit of PJ Harvey hotpants era
That stuff about blood being blue before it is red written on her arm is a myth though isn’t it?
