April 17, 1978

The John Peel Session version of Instant Hit by The Slits captures their punk spirit at its finest.

Here's an excerpt of the notes (written by Tom Cox) included in the CD :

Contrary to popular belief, boys weren't the only ones who changed the world by playing punk rock in the 1970s: girls did it as well. And, in the case of the Slits, they did it as well as anyone. On record, Ari Up, Viv Albertine, Palmolive (later replaced by Budgie and then Bruce Smith) and Tessa Pollitt stuffed the gap between the rebel reggae of the Clash and the attic punk of the Raincoats with unqualified, fiercely experimental "death-disco" dub.

Live, they were the wildest of the wild, a riot of public urination and feminist insurrection. When John Peel re-aired the band's Peel Sessions- originally broadcast in the late 70s and early 80s - in the mid 90s, and called them his "favourite ever", he knew exactly which Slits persona he was championing.

Oh look, it seems like there's a Republican-led movement to purge voter rolls in the lead-up to the election! It's almost as if your vote matters and they don't want you to vote! Anyway, I whipped up a quick map (based on this) that shows when the voter registration deadline is in each state. There are a few deadlines coming up in the next week or so.

If you live in a state that regularly purges voter rolls for infrequent voters (the orange ones in the first map), or if you moved recently, it's good to check if you're still registered to vote.

Vote.org makes it super easy to check your registration: https://www.vote.org/am-i-registered-to-vote/

Just put in your address and DOB and they'll tell you whether you're registered. (And they give you a quick link to register online if it turns out that you're not! Only the 9 states in white on my map don't have online registration, and for those they provide instructions on how to do it via mail or in person.) If you want an extra verification, find your state's election website and double-check there.

So yeah, give yourself peace of mind -- do a quick check. :)
