THE SECOND CUT: We're not sure about the reformation of The Slits - sure, it's got Ari Up, but the new touring line-up is going to include Princess Superstar and MC Kinky; it feels less like The Slits than some sort of slightly whacked-out supergroup. We're not expecting overmuch when the new album comes out this summer; Ari's solo stuff sounds much more promising.


Purchaseable: Cut, the Peel Sessions and - released later this month - Live at the Gibus Club.
