Day 1 of “Discovering notable songs, videos and bands”
“30 days of .. something” somehow sounds better than “A month of something”. Well, to me, anyway. But what I want to do, really, is to have an experiment where I post an entry daily for a month. I’m going to start in December or January, so it will be 31 days anyway, but that’s not the point.
Anyway, here is the first entry:
The Bastard Fairies
One of the more unknown bands in this list, The Bastard Fairies have only put out a few albums - and sadly their brilliant lead singer, Yellow Thunder Woman has passed away in 2021. It takes a special kind of humour, I think, to find joy in songs about going to hell, lobotomization and other topics musicians so often shy away from. I should also point out that it has, as you say, strong language. So don’t play it to your kids.
Here’s the video - have fun realising that we are all going to hell:
If you don’t like YouTube, I don’t blame you - watch it on Daily Motion instead. It also has better audio.
