What a coincidence! I was just thinking: “Y’know, I could really use some mostly female-fronted music, kind of focused at the intersection of avant-garde and pop...”
And look: it’s almost time for Sophisticated Boom Boom.

I knew Gillian Hills was in the movie Beat Girl (in which she wins a game of chicken by keeping her head on a railroad tracks longer than her friends as a train approaches). A quick check shows that she was also in Blow Up and Clockwork Orange - two of my favorite films.  I'll have to listen to more of her music.
