Gaptooth (feat. Sisters Uncut) - They Cut We Bleed




This incendiary device of a song has a starring role in this months F-Word playlist.

I hadn't actually planned to do another political/agit prop type playlist after the last two as I sometimes wonder (despite the F-Word being a UK feminist website) if people perhaps get a bit fed up with all my stroppy music selections. In the end though, the finished playlist is a bit agit prop-y (initially at least) and this can be seen to be a reflection of where we are at the moment, society and feminism wise.

My original themes/touchstones for the February playlist were going to be love and winter weather (well, it is February after all...) but it ended up being more the sinister/realistic end of the love song oevre, including Florence + The Machine's 'Various Storms & Saints', which neatly covers both the love and weather angle and is one of my favourite tracks from the How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful album.

You can read more, and listen to the playlist (if you have Spotify), over on The F-Word.
