0:00:01-0:03:47) Yodelling Overtures by Mary Schneider off of Yodelling the Classics, Vol. 1
0:03:48-0:05:18 (Rev. Interruption BackGround Music1: Arco Arena by Cake off of Comfort Eagle)
Fuck yes! Australia’s Queen of Yodeling, Ms. Mary Schneider. I’ll never forget the first time I heard that. At a burn, the wee-small hours of the morning. Messed-up, and outside-in, hung-over and strung-out. Suffering from a terminal case of excess and sleep-deprivation. Through some innate survival, homing instinct I’d found my tent and landed gracefully face-down, just outside it. Close enough. Then, just as dawn was breaking apart the night, I heard that and thought. “Oh my Jesus-titty-fucking-Christ! Fuck yes!” And was left with no choice but to dig myself out of my grave, and go start a mosh-pit.
Well, that’s all you really need to know about me. So Me welcomes you to the eighth day of March edition of Aurally Fixated. Speaking of mosh-pits, from 8 Convulsions here is Crisis with More than Down.

0:18:33-0:19:18) (Rev. Interruption BackGround Music 2: My Buddy @julps by Mexican Institute Of Sound off of Politico)
The exasperated anthem that just got done with us was the title-track from Emilie Autumn’s Fight Like a Girl album. I hear she puts on an astounding show, but I’ve still yet to have the pleasure. Someday.
The beautiful strangeness immediately preceding it was a some Inuit throat singing by the amazing Tanya Tagaq. From her Auk / Blood album that was Growl.
And right before that we were graces by Tracy Chapman explaining how she was Born to Fight.
Now, here is Uncle Bonsai’s fun little confession about their Penis Envy.

Rev. Butting in again just to make it easier for you to find these albums and artiste should you decide to support them in any way.
We started off with Penis Envy from The Inessential Uncle Bonsai. Then came PJ Harvey telling us about her Man-Size from her Rid of Me record. Then followed Jules Graves spreading the Good Word of Wamba. And finally, we heard about Miss Evens’ Thunder Thighs.
In honor of National Woman’s Day, This 80 minutes is nothing but the Matrons of Music. So to get to as much of it was we can, let’s get back to all the pretty noise.

0:48:41-0:49:41 (Rev. Interruption BackGround Music 4: Midtown by Tom Waits off of Rain Dogs)
That was the savage power of Ms. Poly Styrene’s vocals! Over some dirty punk sax with Oh Bondage Up Yours! by the one-of-kind X-Ray Spex.
And, I’m sure I don’t have to tell you, but before that we heard from mid-80s Madonna, with her catchy little melody about confessing teenage pregnancy to her father with, Papa Don’t Preach. Just before that was Gramma off Lana del Rey’s 2008 EP Kill Kill. Then, we started it off with another singular voice, the one-and-only Billie Holiday with her version of Ain’t Nobody’s Business If I Do. And speaking of things that Tain’t Nobody’s Biz-ness

1:04:24-1:06:14) (Rev. Interruption BackGround Music 5: Brilliant Adventure by David Bowie off of Hours)
Yes, I do know there are other grand lady’s of funk besides Betty Davis, and perhaps I should give them some air-time, but there is just something about this woman! From They Say I’m Different that was Don’t Call Her No Tramp. And before that was Solé from her Skin Deep album, a tune called Get up in It. Then there was Janis Joplin with Get It While You Can. And we started it all off with The Uppity Blues Women, Saffire rhapsodizing about their Hungry Woman’s Blues. From their Cleaning House record.
That’s it for me for this episode. Part of me feels I’ve given a lot of the songs and artists the short shrift, but in the end I decided to just stay out of the way of the music and let it do it’s magic. So, without much trivia of testifying I’ll just thank you for listening, and keeping this pirate-radio show in my head from being just in my head. And ‘ll leave with Polly Jean Harvey and a different take on Man-Size, with a Sextet. Then Ani DiFranco with the title track off Not A Pretty Girl. Which will be followed by I’m Not A Normal Girl by Maggie Estep. And lastly, we’ll hear JoyDrop. Until next time – or never – whichever comes first. This has been Aurally Fixated, I’ve been Rev. And You’ve been Beautiful.
