    She worked also with Sheffield second generation Human League’s group Heanven seventeen.
    I am curious to discover her litterature…

    Glad to see I’m not the only person who loves this track, which I first heard on the “Anti NY” compilation (2001.) The blend of pop, punk, and avant-garde just works so perfectly here (how can you not love that bassline?!)

    FYI, John “Johnny Rotten” Lydon was the co-producer of this one per a Discogs comment. I’d verify it myself but it would require a lot of vinyl digging that’s not happening right now.

    If I remember correctly, Keith Levine of PIL was the guitarist. Excellent song!
