Review by Alastis Feb 25, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)
In my next life, I certainly want to be Kim Gordon. She is one of those females that defies the notion that girls can't play rock music. She's playing it exactly the way it meant to be - loud and mean. And of course a lot of SY records sound like a powerful orgasm because to this lady. Thank You, ms. Gordon.
