Dance everybody
First of all, before we commence with today's posting, the staff of Planetarium would just like to thank the Bush administration for moving ahead with its plan to completely dismantle the safety net that would have made sure we could survive after our retirement. We're SO glad the money will be placed in the stock market. To quote another smart person, "Have you FOLLOWED the fucking stock market lately? Why not just take all the money and bet it on a horse?"
Ahem. Anyways, in case you weren't aware, Universal International has finally gotten off its butt and given us a reissure of the Slits' classic album Cut. And it's a real doozy, with the remastering process giving the notoriously lo-fi album just enough warmth and punch to make it a lot better bang for your buck. Of course, it's a great fucking record to begin with (ever wonder where the Clash got some of their "let's incorporate dub" ideas? Look no further), but we were never really happy with the sound. Now, there's no excuses left for you to not own this. The women of the Slits deserve their place in punk rock history for this album, and we're glad to give it to them. Commence capitalistic duty.
