The night before last I found myself home from the pub and flicking through the channels absent mindedly before I eventually passed out around midnight,  on the sofa in my skinnies (did I just admit to that?). Anyway, for a few hours I was totally captivated by an old favourite flick of mine on ITV4- Martin Scorseses’ Goodfellas. Now, I know we’ve all seen that film poster and perhaps some of my fellow girly girls might find some of the shoot out scenes a little gratuitous, but what got me (and thrilled me to my feminist core) this time around was the many all-woman delights on the soundtrack. The Shangri- Las! The Crystals! The Chantels!

I love a good 60’s girl group. And a few bad ones, too..

You can buy the cd off Amazon here. 49p for heartbreakingly melodic songs about love (and just a hint of teenage melodrama) seems pretty bargainous to me..
