[AUDIO OFFLINE]

ARTIST: Malcolm McLaren

SONG: Buffalo Gals [Album Mix]   X

LABEL: Island, 1983

I originally posted this last year as a bonus track under Neneh Cherry's "Buffalo Stance," to illustrate the source of a few of her samples. Eminem would later borrow the Buffalo Gals line and parody it using "trailer park girls." I am reposting it now under the sad circumstance of Malcolm's death in Switzerland this past week. People will always connect his name with the Sex Pistols and their influence on punk in the late 70's, but let's not forget Malcolm's own brilliant music made with members of the Art of Noise. Let's also remember that like God taking Adam's rib to create Eve, Malcolm took several of Adam's Ants to create Bow Wow Wow. Generally hated by everyone he ever worked with, Malcolm still had enormous influence on music, fashion, and even movies in his fascinating lifetime. Goodbye Mr. McLaren! --Steve-O
