Eternally Hard (Righteous Babe)

See a whole different point of view.


Oh me, oh my. Can I get a glass of water? Thank you. Let's see, how can I phrase this without offending anyone? Okay, here goes: Bitch and Animal are a couple of spirited lesbians who write, play and sing jovial songs about their amorous escapades, the liberation of their private parts (insert the "cat" word here), and leisure activities involving the cannabis plant. Whew, can I have another glass of water please? Thank you. The title of their new record refers to a vibrating stimulant device apparently used frequently by the lesbian set. Oh boy. Now that we're up to speed, let's delve into the music. Uh, Bitch, plays violin and bass, and sings, while, uh, Animal, plays various percussive instruments, and also sings. The sound is surprisingly full, very spunky and bouncy. I do believe the ladies are having some fun, and their rather up front lyrics are brimming with subversive and deeply cynical humour. This record is so good, it, it, ....it makes me want to be a lesbian!!!
