one of them could partner up with aliccia berg and stop slumber party from sucking.

sleater-kinney was welcome stuff.

I think Janet Weiss is in Stephen Malkmus' band. She plays on Real Emotional Trash

notyourfiend 10.23.2009 12:51 PM

Yeah, she was in it, I don't think they still play together though. Correct me if i'm wrong.

Apparently, Janet didn't start playing drums until she was 27 (don't trust wiki, it will tell you otherwise)

!@#$%! 10.23.2009 01:41 PM

i love her.

 


in a quasi-stalkerish way, really, but not quite.

about janet it's true it was in her 20s, read up on an interview somewhere, but not 27 more like 24?

anyway, i miss the band that someone here once called "goat-devil women in heat" :(

knox 10.23.2009 02:36 PM

they always said that, that people don't start playing drums before they are 27, they said that about lori barbero too, and i like to believe it is true everytime.

I really dug SK, and was sad to see them call it quits. I think All Hands... is probably my fav overall. I know a lot of people didn't like The Woods but I thought it was fucking killer. There's just some awesome guitar stomp on that record.

knox 10.23.2009 08:32 PM

I like call the doctor more I guess for the feeling of it, or even the self titled but I have to agree on all hands on the bad one. In fact, I think Pompeii is probably their best track.

knox 10.23.2009 09:07 PM

oh and thinking about it, its kind of misguided to judge someone on how they treated you a certain day, because one could be in a bad mood, or feel strange when talking to strangers, specially when they are always trying to reach you i think.

Genteel Death 10.24.2009 07:30 AM

they are excellent musicians. I thought the last album was one of their fiercest. I have major problems with the vocals though.

Oh how I love Sleater Kinney. And Hello Jenn, Go Vikes!

Youre not alone! I love that last record too, it was really their rawest with a huge distorted thump to it.Esp that epic track "lets call it love" it was like a whole new side to the band, never knew she could play like that and wish she'd do it more. Im saddened for the fact that i missed them on that tour but am happy to see the band go out on such a high note like that. other bands should take the hint. *cough pearl jam cough*

I miss going to S-K shows. I was listening to The Woods today while outside reading some Jules Verne and sipping coffee, and I couldn't help but jump up and start dancing around the yard, which got me reminiscing to dancing at so many S-K shows, and how much I miss that. Wild Flag was a lot of fun to see, so was Corin Tucker Band, and while their great, its not the same. Truly, good times!

Where the fuck is knox so I can rep her for this! I love Pompeii, possibly because I feel I relate to it too much!

I used to be kind of obsessed with Sleater Kinney, these days the only record of theirs I still enjoy is the Hot Rock. I love that record.

That is an epic, obsessive record. I can't get enough of it. All the time.

I've said it before but I feel the need to say it again:

The production on THE WOODS is a crime against humanity.

That's all. Thank you.

Don't be so dramatic. It's a great record (minus the vocals but hey). It's my favourite album of theirs and some fuck off to all the indie bed-wetters.

Agreed completely, it isn't low-fi, it was just shit mixing.

Genteel Death 01.15.2014 04:06 PM

Wicked guitar playing on here.

Genteel Death 01.15.2014 04:09 PM
