Needles & Grooves AoTM /// Vol. 9 - March 2020 /// X-Ray Spex - Germfree Adolescents

I think GNGO gave me a hint. And it might have been just for me. But I've completely forgotten it. So whether or not it was for my ears only or for sharing with you all, it's lost in the quicksand known as my brain.

I'm pretty confident that GNGO chose an artist that identifies as a woman. Or has a woman-identifying member in the band. But that is just a gut feeling.

Ah ha! Joe has had a brainwave. Be worried...

...it’s probably nonsense and I’m reading far too much into that first video but sod it!

Here goes:

Bananarama
Siobhan Fahy also in Shakespear’s Sister
Shakespear’s Sister were named after a song by The Smiths
Another Band also named after a song by The Smiths are:
Pretty Girls Make Graves
Their debut album Good Health got fantastic reviews
Early to mid 00s post punk seems to fall right in a sweet spot for @girlnevergoesout
They are fronted by a woman as per @Teeeee
Post punk maybe sad bastard music as per @bfly (Also has a song called “Sad Girls Por Vida”)

So my first guess is

Pretty Girls Make Graves - Good Health

This is actually a damn good guess.

Not as good as Paula.

But still damn good.

Damn Joe is coming hard with the guesses. I respect the hustle but seems kind of useless when I already guessed the correct answer 🙂

(I like how the instrumental is one second longer)
