It’s ok. I do like red. But a brighter shade might’ve been better. Like more orange tones. But maybe this is what S-K picked. They do tend to go with the artist’s input on packaging where possible.

I hope whoever they get doesn’t bring extra baggage in. The last thing I would want is booing at the band.

I wonder if they are going to do a drum machine for that first date since it’s a festival and the actual tour doesn’t start until a month later.

I kind of thought the same thing about the swearing. Not that I really care, or that swearing bothers me, but it just seemed a little lazy throwing out f bombs in the lyrics at times.

it's just so bland
Jeez, that's graphic. I could never have been a doctor.
More thoughts on the new album: to my ears, the albums starts (tracks 1-2) and ends (from "Bad Dance" through the end) really well. It's just that middle section (tracks 3-7) that I find subpar. I don't mind "The Future Is Here" in the context of the album. And "Bad Dance" is the 80s (Oingo Boingo?) jam that Carrie waited her whole life to write; that's by far my favorite track at the moment.

I've only given it one listen through, but...mediocre. It's missing the outrageous energy I expect from the band, and the production isn't really interesting enough to make up the difference.

I like it. It's not what I would have wanted, in theory, from a new Sleater-Kinney record, but I enjoy all of the songs and I have all of those other S-K records to spin whenever I'm in the mood for the more classic, rocking S-K vibe.

On August 10th my sister, drummer Janet Weiss, was in a serious car accident. A speeding car hit hers while she was driving near her house in Portland. At first she just heard a loud crash, then felt the car spin out of control. When her car finally stopped spinning Janet and her partner Drew...

Poor Sleater-Kinney. And Poor Janet. This whole break up is so sad. It’s like you’re friends with both parts of a couple when they call it a day.
