	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: The Slits

		Bio: Along with the Raincoats and Liliput, the Slits are one of the most significant female punk rock bands of the late '70s.
		Upp agreed on the spot, and the Slits, with borrowed equipment and knowledge of two, maybe three chords, were a reality.
		But the Slits, due primarily to their interest in incorporating other forms of ethnic music into their mix, were leaping beyond what was commonly accepted as punk rock, and as a result, were no longer seen as a punk band.

	Ink 19 :: The Slits
		Long before contemporary feminism was able to force its way into the national debate, it existed not as an organized movement, but in the work of chicks who carved niches for themselves, not as a political statement but as a matter of survival.
		The real value of dub for the Slits was that it allowed them to relax, calm down long enough to tweak the notion of punk as relentlessly aggressive music that must be performed at MACH 2 for maximum effectiveness.
		Objectively speaking, the Slits were pretty hot, as shown in the photo on the CD booklet back.

	The Slits - Biography - AOL Music
		Along with the Raincoats and Liliput, the Slits are one of the most significant female punk rock bands of the late '70s.
		Not only did they bravely (or foolishly, you be the judge) leap into the fray with little, if any, musical ability (on their debut tour with the Clash, Mick Jones used to tune their guitars for them), but through sheer emotion and desire created some great music.
		Though much derided in their short existence, what the Slits achieved and what they meant to succeeding generations of young female rockers cannot be underestimated.

	The Slits
		Along with their pals, The Raincoats, The Slits were one of the few all-female bands to garner critical acclaim, a cult following, and avoid being marketed as sex objects by their record company.
		The Slits were the last of the class of 77 to get a deal.
		The Slits struggled on till 1982 even doing another John Peel session with a certain Neneh Cherry helping out on vocals and releasing more records but by then their moment had long gone.

	Human embryos don't have gill slits - EvoWiki (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Calling them "gill slits" is reading Darwinian theory into the evidence.
		Gill slits are simply the invaginations between the pharyngeal pouches.
		The term is legitimate because the slits do establish contact between the outside and the pharynx.

	New look for classic experiment (March 2005) - News - PhysicsWeb
		The spacing between the fringes depends on the wavelength of the light and the separation of the slits.
		The latest experiment is radically different because the slits exist in time not space, and because the interference pattern appears when the number of electrons at the detector is plotted as a function of their energy rather than their position on a screen.
		The work was performed at the Technical University of Vienna in collaboration with physicists from the Max Born Institute in Berlin, the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics in Munich and the University of Sarajevo.

		The gill slits are openings that allow water to flow out from the gill cavities.
		Sharks and rays are unique among living fishes in possessing five to seven gill slits, rather than the more common fish condition of having only a single gill opening.
		Some species of sharks, notably bamboo and nurse sharks, have a “shared” slit for the fourth and fifth gills.

	The Slits - In Conclusion
		The Slits play a pivotal part in the history of Women in Punk rock in so many ways but not least the fact that for two years they were the only all girl band.
		Without doubt The Slits were strong, sexy and intelligent individuals, but whether male or female, bands get judged by the same criteria; sales and strength of songs; and no matter how much of the first three they or anyone else have without the last two you are doomed to fail.
		At the same time tho The Slits didn't create any major ripples nor did they release any music from their formative punk years to influence an audience and these last two points must weigh against them.

	The Slits
		This incarnation of the band is the one most are familiar with, as it was this line-up that supported the Clash during their 1977 White Riot Tour with the Buzzcocks and the Subway Sect.
		While on this tour, the Slits were immortalized in all their primitive glory in The Punk Rock Movie.
		More recently, the CD titled In the Beginning was released in late 1997; a compilation of live material, it comprises both the Slits' older songs (in the traditional punk genre) as well as newer compositions (heavy on the reggae, dub and other experimental influences), and spans the period 1977 through 1981.

		By the time the Slits returned to the BBC in 1981, their original vision had become totally skewed -- along with much of their early optimism.
		The Return of the Giant Slits, their long-awaited second album, had arrived to absolute incomprehension, and the band's future was already in doubt.
		In terms of illustrating all that the Slits were truly capable of, however, the third session is even better than either.

	The Slits: Live at the Gibus Club - PopMatters Music Review
		The Slits are perhaps the perfect example of that trend, as the Slits that appear on this 1978 recording sound nothing like the ironic dub-punkers who gave the world the classic album Cut.
		The Slits tear through their songs, as if they're trying to get off-stage as quickly as possible, even though the band's tempo is about half as slow as the typical punk band's.
		The set's highlight is the Slits' romp through "Femme Fatale", probably the most professional sounding track on the set, where Ari Up finds a perfect vehicle for her voice (was I the only one who didn't realize her vocals similarities to Nico?).

		Девчонки подписывают новый контракт, на сей раз с Virgin (на "взбалмошных сучках", как их ласково называли, решили замутить пару килограммов денег), и с этого момента для THE SLITS начинается период поиска нового звучания, сопряженного с требованием продюсеров быть "более коммерческими".
		Кроме этого отчетливо ощущалось, что THE SLITS пошли на поводу у продюсеров Virgin и сильно облегчили свой саунд.
		Первой песней, которую THE SLITS попробовали сыграть, была Blitzkrieg Bop THE RAMONES.

		Some sound recordings were made in Paris in January 1978 – the master tapes of which include a tone pulse which would suggest that film footage was intended to be added later – but a deal was never formally struck and the tapes still remain unreleased.
		Again The Slits were pushing envelopes – this time ambassadors for what we would eventually refer to as World Music.
		The Slits were always way ahead of their time.

	The Feynman Double Slit
		The result is just what you probably have predicted: the number of bullets arriving from both slits is just the sum of the bullets from the upper slit and the bullets from the lower slit.
		In the two slit experiment, a particle does not show an interference pattern and the probability of a particle arriving at a location at the backstop with both slits open is just the sum of the probability of it arriving through the upper slit plus the probability of it arriving through the lower slit.
		The total energy in the interference pattern is equal to the energy arriving from the upper slit plus the energy arriving from the lower slit: the interference pattern re-arranges the energy but conserves the total amount of energy.

	The Slits - Return of the Giant Slits gullbuy review
		Even with the slickness and musicians helping the sound of The Slits, the material is in fact an extension of their previous album but it actually takes them into very non-commercial direction.
		Their label CBS was not pleased with The Slits defiance to being more commercially sounding, the album was not pushed by the label and the band soon broke up.
		The songs might not have the punch of their early punk sides or the catchiness of the current pop trends circa 1981, but what they do have is a cutting edge sound and production.

	Slits Discography at CD Universe
		NME (3/21/98, p.51) - 9 (out of 10) - "...caught the sulfate-snorting Slits at their tuffest, ruffest, couldn'tgiveaf**kest and euphorically mental best....a deranged lo-fi punka version of cutting-edge dub reggae before they'd learnt to play their instruments..." Groundbreaking...
		Although their career was brief and their output minimal, the Slits' impact on rock and, particularly, women in punk is incalculable.
		As the first all-female punk band, the Slits played a primitive, boisterous mash-up of funk, reggae, dance music, and jittery guitar rock that offered a wonderfully confrontational counterpoint to the boys' club that was the English punk scene.

	The Slits (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The Slits were a female punk rock trio formed in 1977 by members of the bands The Flowers of Romance and The Castrators[?].
		They were also augmented by male drummer Budgie[?] (aka Pete Clarke, formerly of The Spitfire Boys and later to join Siouxsie and the Banshees, and indeed marry Siouxsie herself).
		However, by the time of their second 'official' LP release Return Of The Giant Slits(a 'semi-official' bootleg of poorly recorded early material having been released in the interim by Rough Trade), many felt that their initial energy, exuberance and innovativeness had deserted them.

		Special moments were guaranteed and true when they worked with veteran reggae producer Dennis Bovell, setting the stage for a future generation of riot girrrls and the remarkable sound of punky reggae.
		Their act shook the pillars of popular music as we know it, uttering one of the loudest cries of freedom and daring to challenge the ever male-controlled music business, even in its most liberal outcomes, like the underground pop scene is supposed to be.
		This was the final Slits recording, never previously reissued (nor ever issued at all in the US).
