Best Angry Riot Grrrl Song of the Moment

| Saturday, June 20, 2009
Today was like the day from hell and I just need to unwind. This got me thinking of what I consider the best angry riot grrrl song of the moment. For me, it's a close pick but that's why it's of the *moment*. I'm going to go with The Lunachicks -Shut You Out.

It just perfectly describes the way I feel right now. It's just how I feel about the world...I must have really bad karma from stuff I did in my past lives >__<. First, we went to go see the doctor yesterday for my mom's prescription medication and they were like "ohh your appointment is at 10:40am and the nurse practitioner isn't here til 9am." They are more than incompetent cuz I was told to come in around 8 before the appointments and see the nurse practitioner...grrr. Those people were about to deny my mom her meds to prevent her blood pressure from going up. I'm terrified of her missing a dose because that can cause another stroke. So, they took care of it, said they sent the prescription to the pharmacy and blah blah. We went to pick it up today and they were like: "We have no record of any prescriptions for her." I was flaming angry and almost felt a heart attack coming on but I contained myself. Then, we wasted two hours at the ER to get the friggin' prescription filled and then I had to go back to the pharmacy and wait an hour. Boyfriend and I had a fight, mother became sad as well. It was just a terrible day. Now things are more calm but I think this is a good topic! What is your favorite angry riot grrrl song of the moment or of all time? My reasons for picking Shut You Out:
I hate your f*#@ing face<--best part at the moment lol
I hate the way you judge
I see the hateful affliction in your eyes
I hate the way you preach
To all the world with your self-inflected lies


Didin't I didin't I didin't I didin't I didin't I didin't I already say
I'm gonna shut you off

There are just so many angry riot grrrl songs that I could just make a whole list. In fact, if anyone wants a list, I'll make it for them and then you can add as you feel free. I'll post it here if anyone wants. :) I just needed to vent a little. That song and a few others really helped, but so did writing here. Watch for my next post on Riot Grrrl and how it influenced me to become a Women's Studies major. It'll be neat-o. See ya then! Peace.

Oh....before I go, I just need to plug a little more for The Lunachicks because they are so awesome! If you know them. This is the song I'm lovin' at the moment.



Here is another song of theirs that I lurve!



That's all for now. Byes.
