Concrete Blonde Bloodletting (Vinyl, I.R.S. Records, 1990) ****
Genre: pop/ rock
Places I remember: Music shop in Nelson
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: God Is A Bullet (Free)
Gear costume: Caroline (Bloodletting)
Active compensatory factors: I think it was that video for God Is A Bullet that hooked me back in the late 80s.

It's an exciting song, sung brilliantly by Johnette Napolitano and full of passion. The inclusion of John Lennon in the lyric is heartfelt. She means it maan!
The rest of the album is good but the peak is that song, by side two they've kind of run out of gusto a bit.
I was intrigued enough, though, to follow through with Bloodletting. The blood splattered give away the more emo rock stance to the album.
On the whole I played this album more frequently back in the day. It's also a bit inconsistent in song quality but always spirited (ha ha - see what I did there!)
Where do they all belong? I stopped after Bloodletting. I think my attention wandered.
