mothcake Aaah I'm glad that Ariel is getting the love it deserves. Also I just discovered the babes did a tune with Lydia Lunch (and some other people, who I'm not too familiar with) which is fantastic.

scottdoesntknow Just ordered "Natural Babe Killers" (live album) on Amazon.com. Got it for 3 dollars (!!!) which was a complete steal considering the other few that were for sale on there are in the $100 range. I am beyond excited!

I found Nemesisters at the Salvation Army for $2.50 the other day and nearly had a heart attack. It was the first time I've seen a Babes In Toyland CD physically. I've looked at every used record store within 50 miles of me and have never come across a single one of their albums. INSTA-PURCHASE

v mothcake, I was obsessed as well, it's one of their most haunting and powerful songs as far as I'm concerned. I got really, REALLY into last December. I remember on Christmas Eve I fell asleep with my headphones in listening to it on repeat.
