Product Description
CD Description
Though they're quick to decry it in the CD liner notes, Bikini Kill found themselves manipulated into a position of being the premier "riot girl" band by a media obsessed with pigeon-holing everything. In actuality, the band comprised a number of different ethos and points of view, which at times seemed to lead to contradictory messages and gave their detractors ammunition--the band were called everything from exploitative to man-hating.
The first Bikini Kill "album" (sixtracks, 16 minutes) features mid-tempo punk rock songs, including "Feels Blind", the clear blueprint for almost every Hole song (though Courtney Love is clearly more interested incommercial success), and "Thurston Hearts the Who", featuring simultaneous vocals, one skewering Sonic Youth and their "coolness", the other a sarcastic reading of a Bikini Kill review by a very confused and misinformed journalist. The second record, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, originally released as asplit 12-inch with England's Huggy Bear, features even better songs (but tinnier production), especially "Don't Need You", a pissed-off, high-speed rip at people offering unbiddenopinions, and the low-key "Outta Me", a brilliant break-up song.
