more sources of my info: "It's worth mentioning," says Kim. "That the song, 'Female Mechanic on Duty' was inspired by 'Bitch' by that famous Lilith-type female singer, Meredith Brooks. It's an answer song." "I have a particular dislike for that song," says Steve. (from http://www.sonicyouth.com/history/ographies/1000-lvs.html) and: "Not all of the album was recorded in Echo Canyon -- the second half of "Female Mechanic Now On Duty" actually comes straight from the "Sessions @ West 54th St." broadcast, with vocals overdubbed." (from http://www.sonicyouth.com/mustang/lp/lp14.html)

also, the second half of the song is from a different recording session than the first half, though it is pieced together quite nicely. one of my favourites not only from 1000 Leaves but in general. Killer riffs you just wanna play LOUD.

The title of the song reminds me of the movie Flashdance.

This song to me is about doing work from a females' perspective- a stereotypically dumb or inept woman who has learned to be a car mechanic. This song is like her thoughts while she's working.

apparently this is Kim Gordon's "answer song" to that god-awful song "Bitch" by 90s one-hit-wonder Meredith Brooks.

"It's a little bit of an answer song," says Gordon. "The media, which are predominantly made up of men, are always writing what they think 'women in rock' is, and it always winds up being some sexually seductive object."
