Wonderful mix. I’ll have to send you “Guru Eye” by Suburban Wives Club if you don’t already have it – amazing super-underground female-fronted postpunk punkfunk. *Sigh*. You probably already have it.
In case you don’t have “Guru Eye” by the Suburban Wives Club…..!
Show looks fantastic. I’ll be dancin’.

I DO NOT have “Guru Eye” but I keep meaning to obtain it somehow! I only have “Casual Cat in a Laundromat,” which is def a cool track too. Send “Guru Eye” my way pleeeeeease.
