I hate being sick

And right now, I'm pretty sick. Phlegm, runny nose, monstrous sinus headaches, the whole shebang. The medication I've been taking has actually made me more focused and harder working, so I suppose that's good. It's also really fucking cold here, so our pipes are now frozen. I can see that I'm rambling and I don't want to edit it down, so I'll kick it straight to the music.

I think the first time I heard The Vexers was through EMusic.com nearly a year ago. They're a little dirty, a little sexy and definitely more than a little dancey. Some critics compare lead singer Jennifer Taylor's voice to both Chrissie Hynde and Exene Cervenka. You can definitley hear facets of both in here, while adding her own allure. Their style should appeal to fans of the current art/dance/punk sound, but shouldn't be written off as just another "The" band. They've got two albums, with this track being one of my favorites off their first LP. Unfortunately, they're broken up and have (reportedly) gone on to work on instructional videos (bassist), join other bands (drummer and guitarists) and even start an all-girl interpretive dance troupe (Cafe, Cafe - singer), possibly pose for Penthouse (singer) and do some German porn (singer, again). Enjoy this song. I'll almost definitely post more from them in the future.
