in giggles we trust

90初由於女性主義思潮的盛行，幾位女性主義大學生組了Bikini Kill，以龐克元素作暴動的基底，成了爆女(Riot Grrrl)音樂的先聲。後來跟隨爆女風潮出來搞搖滾暴動的，還有我更喜歡的Sleater-Kinney、最性感的胖子主唱The Gossip、以車庫龐克和Karen O的神經質紅透半片天的Yeah Yeah Yeahs等等，她們都算是Bikini Kill的後起之輩。

98年Bikini Kill解散，主唱兼主要創作人Kathleen Hanna不甘寂寞，另組了三人樂隊Le Tigre。除了原本可供之瘋癲暴動的龐克元素，Le Tigre還加上Blondie式的俱樂部舞曲味，再融合了時下流行的電子合成器，祭出仿如Primal Scream的電音鉅作，令人不得不隨之扭動軀體，不相信的話可以去看愛重奏(Reprise)。歌詞除了Bikini Kill時期女性主義/政治上的訴求，還多了歡樂的派對氣氛。

奉上我非常喜歡的T.K.O.



Want more real attention.
At my expense guess you forgot to mention.
You talk good,
I’ll eat glass.
I heard you read my mind behind my back.
Outside, I’m waitin’
by the car when you’re hesitatin’.
Take a good look.
Take a photo.
Write about it in your tiny notebook.

Don’t you know? You’re out cold.
Don’t you know? It’s our dance-floor!
T.K.O. Hear it on the radio.
T.K.O. Play it on the stereo.
T.K.O. Watch a live video.
T.K.O.
T.K.O-O
Oh, oh..
Oh, oh..

Got your money safe.
Wanna be "In".
Everyday it just gets closer to you.
I say my piece,
And when it’s over, you’ll be on your knees, I..
got this soul thing on the go -ho.
Read about it at your Barnes & Noble.

Don’t you know? It’s our dance-floor!
T.K.O. Hear it on the radio.
T.K.O. Play it on the stereo.
T.K.O. Watch a live video.

Oh, oh.
Oh, oh.

Night is young
And we all know what’s up
Beyond the setting sun
The ocean calls us
away from...

Don’t you know? It’s our dance-floor
Oh-oh
