Thoughts from Everett True -- I admit he was one of the first people I was wondering about after I took the news in:

saw her do a real wacky solo show maybe 7-8 years ago. An iconoclast.

"typical girls" blew 16-year-old me's mind and it (and nearly all of their stuff) still has a special place in my heart. RIP, and so young, too :(

she once came to my club, stood around looking nonplussed and then took over the dance floor when the slits version of "i heard it through the grapevine" was played. a true one off. most sadly missed.

I found about it on metafilter.com. I was reading along with the description and then it hit me: Her former stepfather John Lydon announced that Ari Up died today following a lengthy illness. The first thing I thought in my mind was "No!!!!" During college I fucking loved Cut, even though I haven't heard it in awhile. It is just so unexpected. I really liked her voice, her band, everything. :(

The older I get, and the more musical phases I go through, the more I come to come to think that Cut is serious, top 10 or 20 of all time, desert island disc material for me. The way it plays with and rearranges musical convention (punk rock, reggae) and works within the band's instrumental and vocal limitations to create its art is, I think, absolutely inspirational and wonderful. RIP Ari.
