It will be! We'll make it so.And now I’m getting excited about the SK show. I hope it’s a good one.
Good to hear. Thanks for the report. It makes me wonder what the new songs would have sounded like with someone like John Goodmanson producing.My knees hurt, my voice is scratchy, I am dehydrated and tired. But good god damn, that show shredded! And it was a delight to hang with @mcherry
You all know I have been very lukewarm on this new album so my expectations going into this show were tampered. I will say this: if anyone thought it wouldn't be a good show because Janet is no longer there or because the new album isn't great, dispel those thoughts now. Go to the show. SK is an amazing band because it was comprised of 3 incredibly talented women who all brought something to the table. Well, 2/3rds of that band remain. I realized that I had forgotten that in my focus on Janet being absent. Carrie and Corin fucking killed last night. And those new songs make a lot more sense in the context of a live show with the lights and the venue.
I'll have more thoughts later. I need to go ice my knees now (and yell at these kids to get off my lawn).

carrie seemed to call the crowd out a bit to show a little more energy.

Wow, thank you! That was a really nice compliment to start the week!!!!And I trust everything this woman posts.
Nothing turns me off faster at a show. Earn my energy like when you were young and hungry for it.
This kinda shit makes me very, very angry.

I just meant in general. I think it’s a contrarian streak in me. Any show I’ve ever been at where a performer comments that the audience isn’t reacting like they’re “supposed” to will lose me a little bit (unless they’re telling obnoxious people to shut up, and then I’ll love that artist forever for having their crowd’s back)jesus, guys. i mean, you can watch the video before animal and see wherecarriecorin (my bad) ribs the folks down front a little bit. it's not like she took a shit on us as a crowd or demanded we be more into the show. and, frankly, her ribbing was deserved- we weren't the most excitable group of people that night, and i assure you carrie didn't feel compelled to cry at our show because of the crowd response. the band certainly did their part that night.
That energy is kinda different, but you’re definitely not wrong.Y’all would HATE going to a hip hop show!
Janet Weiss talks leaving Sleater-Kinney: "the new record was made sort of without me"
”The rules changed within the band, and they told me the rules changed,” Janet Weiss said in a new interview. ”I said, ’am I just the drummer now?’ They said yes. And I said, ’can you tell me if I am still a creative equal in the band?’ And they said no. So, I left.”www.brooklynvegan.com

It's like why bother going to band therapy when you've made it clear that Janet is no longer a creative collaborator?

But also - how can Janet not be a creative collaborator anymore? The Woods is not a masterpiece without her drum lines. Heck, there are times when I "sing" Janet's parts on One Beat because they are so much more than just drum lines.
I don't like this.
