Episode 226-Billie

 
 
Hello listeners, this weeks tune is about one of my most favourite singers in the history of singing, namely Billie Holiday. She had a really shitty life, but made beauty for other folks out of it and that's just plain amazing to me. Anyways, this one's about her early life, forced into prostitution by her own mum fairly early in life. The song's a messy grunting distorted thing more about men than it is about her, but also about her rising above that even then with/through music. Anyways, hope it's an interesting listen and thanks for your time and ears, here's a video/drawing to go with it:
