    The Lost Girls

    Opening scene ~ we open on a buff woman playing saxophone. She is wearing lots of leather and mesh. As the camera pans by her absolutely wailing body, we see she is in a sewer. A sewer full of female vampires.

    *Soaring music plays

    [[Smash cut to]]

    A female grandfather is seen sitting on a chair, in a room full of teenage people that all look like Coreys, but girls. She says the famous like “One thing about living in Lady Santa Carla I never could stomach, all the damn lady vampires”

    Coming this summer (from the creators of that one Ghostbusters remake) The Lost Girls

      Lost Girls actually exists and it was written by Alan Moore and it is literally a pornographic novel about Alice, Wendy and Dorothy having fun right before World War 1 starts. It is also very-very good.

          Mark 2 Adam and the Ants to be specific - after McLaren had stolen the band from him.

            I don’t know much about them. I just had a friend who was into them and would randomly jump in front of me and say: “STAAAAAND and deliver!!!”

              oh. Adam Ant is one of the post-punk OGs - he was one of the earliest punk artists who went further into high concept stuff instead of simplistic fast and aggressive stuff. Ants and Banshees basically codified that stark post punk sound everybody associate with the genre. The first album is this angular beast - kinda as if Bauhaus sounded like The Fall with Byron singing the lead. And then Malcolm McLaren conducted a coup a hired away Adam’s band into Bow Wow Wow. Adam brought in Pirroni and switched style towards brighter and more flamboyant sound and that gentlemen robber pirate aesthetic. Instead of mechanistic rhythms of debut they added a variety of african-inspired tribal beats spearheaded by monolithic guitars and that became their sonic template for the next two albums. Prince Charming was the last album with the Ants but it is Friend or Foe from the next year that is basically the end of that particular aesthetic after which Ant started veered towards 80s pop rock and his unique aura started to fade away.

                  you can reliably stick to best of compilations and then check out the b-side comp. First two albums are front to back bangers. Dirk if you’re into feral post-punk and Kings if you’re into new wave. After that - it is more or less singles game as albums get bogged down by filler more and more.
