From The Stranger:
Whether it's Fred Durst insisting that he "did it all for the nookie," or Kelis bragging that her "milkshake brings all the boys to the yard," there's no shortage of lyrical love for lady parts in music's vast history. And there are plenty of vagtastic band names to match. The majority of these came from dudes obsessed with trying to gross out the world with their unapologetic perversity—Anal Cunt, Cliteater, and, shudder, Beef Curtains—but now, female anatomy, as a title, is finally being taken back by fearless feminists.
With artists like Pussy Riot, Perfect Pussy, Thunderpussy, and so many more, it would seem that "pussy" is the new black (which reminds me, there's even a Portland-based band called Black Pussy). And these great bands aren't trying to shock you with misogynistic songs about going on a "Bitch Hunt" (fuck you very much, Vulvathrone), but rather remind the world that words like vagina, vulva, and clitoris aren't disgusting, censorable terms or fuel for some guy's bullshit gore-porn act. Vaginas, and all their related parts, can be cute, badass, and/or awesome!
So with that, we've put together a guide to some of the best va-jay-jay jammers out there, including links to where you can hear them (to spare you from having to wade through the endless pages of porn that inevitably show up after typing some of their names into Google). Viva vaginas!

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
