RIP Ari Up



I've just heard the news. A sad day for post-punk. No a sad day for music.

I've written about the importance of The Slits before, so I'll just say that Ari Up was an enigmatic and beguiling stage presence, that music would be in a much poorer place if she'd never approached the mic and that she sang on the greatest cover version ever.

RIP Ari Up.
