Born Bad

Over the years I have occasionally lapsed into a fondness for 60s garage or psycho rockabilly.

For some reason both musical forms are obsessed with the subcultures around them. This might be an unhealthy attitude to horror movies, b movies, sci-fi or life as a juvenile delinquent.

I finally caught up with an excellent compilation ‘Born Bad’ that begins with the Bossweeds classic ‘Faster Pussycat Kill Kill’.

I was surpised to find Holly Golightly in among a lot of this material. I had recently heard her haunting track on the superb ‘Broken Flowers’ soundtrack & this urged me to search out her other work & she seems to be categoried amid those other krazy psychobilly kats.
