Pussy Galore ‎– Groovy Hate Fuck

Out of stock

$17.00

“It may seem hard to believe, but the intentionally crude, gleefully offensive Groovy Hate Fuck represented something of an improvement over Pussy Galore’s inconsistent debut, Feel Good About Your Body. First off, these cats (and kittens) were really just provocateurs — or “poseurs” as the less charitable would have it — not punks. They meant to make people mad, and they did, but there really wasn’t anything particularly dangerous about their music. It was more like a conceptual art piece about teen angst. The song titles give the game away: “Teen Pussy Power,” “Just Wanna Die,” “Pretty Fuck Look,” and more. Despite the off-putting title, “Cunt Tease” is actually the best of the bunch; Jon Spencer spews a misogynistic tirade over a lo-fi Cramps stomp while Julia Cafritz rebuffs each outburst with a simple, “F*ck You!” Both genders get to have their say. “You Look Like a Jew,” meanwhile, seems designed solely to prove that there were no depths to which they wouldn’t sink in order to provoke a reaction — or it was possibly just an attempt to trump the Sex Pistols’ “Belsen Was a Gas” in the tastelessness department? Then there’s “Constant Pain,” in which Spencer and Cafritz shout the title over and over again as Bob Bert rattles the pots and pans with abandon.” – allmusic.com
