An occasional series of blog posts whenever something takes my fancy.
I came across this book this morning. Apparently, it’s been republished as just “Clothes Music Boys” which is nowhere near as good as the original.

In 1975, Viv Albertine was obsessed with music but it never occurred to her she could be in a band as she couldn’t play an instrument and she’d never seen a girl play electric guitar.
A year later, she was the guitarist in the hugely influential all-girl band the Slits, who fearlessly took on the male-dominated music scene and became part of a movement that changed music.
A raw, thrilling story of life on the frontiers and a candid account of Viv’s life post-punk – taking in a career in film, the pain of IVF, illness and divorce and the triumph of making music again – Clothes Clothes Clothes Music Music Music Boys Boys Boys is a remarkable memoir.
