I'd known of the Gits for a while (the Seattle underground music scene was great until Nirvana broke big and oversaturated the country with its own brand of quasi-grunge), but I hadn't heard the Gits' music in a very long time.I recently saw an updated episode of A&E;'s Cold Case show. It reminded me to give the Gits another listen, but most of all, it reminded me of how much talent the world lost when it lost Mia. Thankfully, Mia's murder has been solved (albeit just a few months back). I must say that The Gits definitely were a special band, with a most unique frontwoman. Mia's gravely, emotion-tinged voice conveyed alienation, loneliness, and introspection in a way that an art-poseur junkie like Cobain never could. It's a total shame that Mia isn't around anymore.
