Ad-Rock and Kath are the John and Yoko of fuckin' LAME

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 23:58 (nineteen years ago) link

if this is SERIOUSLY the FIRST SINGLE off their major label debut than please erase my first post and pretend it was never made.

fuckin' hell.

"PEACE."

Is it tongue in cheek at all?

"this is what democracy sounds like"
so the dictatorships have all the tunes then?

― zappi (joni), Thursday, 19 August 2004 00:03 (nineteen years ago) link

I keep forgetting the debut album was a brief moment of humor and outreach in a career of humorless tuneless hectoring. I keep forgetting.

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 19 August 2004 00:04 (nineteen years ago) link

This song really is shit-terrible.

Best case for "selling out" = "sucking" ever.

― Simon H., Thursday, 19 August 2004 00:25 (nineteen years ago) link

This makes me want to kill things. Shortest amount of time an mp3 has remained on my computer ever.

I still think the Julie Ruin album is fantastic.

― Ryan WS (fffv), Thursday, 19 August 2004 00:32 (nineteen years ago) link

I think it's cute me and Anthony have exactly the same fav KH records. I think this single will make me cry w/rage, the last Lp came pretty close

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Thursday, 19 August 2004 00:34 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm still kind of in denial this exists.

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 19 August 2004 00:49 (nineteen years ago) link

cece your performance on this thread was like a classic double-take

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 19 August 2004 00:50 (nineteen years ago) link

I wouldn't have believed this if I hadn't heard it myself

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 19 August 2004 00:56 (nineteen years ago) link

DO NOT DOUBT ME

― maura (maura), Thursday, 19 August 2004 00:57 (nineteen years ago) link

its better than the new REM single... but thats not too hard.

i kind of liked it, but who would want to listen to this more than once??

― brontosaur, Thursday, 19 August 2004 00:57 (nineteen years ago) link

people who go to protests recreationally? 'it sounds like home'

― maura (maura), Thursday, 19 August 2004 00:58 (nineteen years ago) link

the b-side of the 12" has a four-minute remix. i can't even imagine what extras got added in

― maura (maura), Thursday, 19 August 2004 00:59 (nineteen years ago) link

Maura, you are officially excepted from my usual drive to avoid kneejerk ILX dismissal of new releases. If you say it is teh suck, it is teh suck.

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 19 August 2004 01:02 (nineteen years ago) link

its better than the new REM single

oh shit, that's even worse? How is that possible? Is it a backwards loop of a song from Reveal with Stipe screaming "Bush is a poopie" over it? Cuz even that'd be better than "New Kicks."

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 19 August 2004 01:04 (nineteen years ago) link

All my heroes are working hard to make the statement "Bush is a moron" lack relative weight.

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 19 August 2004 01:05 (nineteen years ago) link

That REM single'd fuckin RULE

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Thursday, 19 August 2004 01:05 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm tempted to drop some ass-shakin' bass beats under "Alice's Restaurant" just to see if it sounds better than this.

― Slim Pickens (Slim Pickens), Thursday, 19 August 2004 01:08 (nineteen years ago) link

by having ass-shakin' beats underneath it inherently would

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 19 August 2004 01:08 (nineteen years ago) link

you can actually be bothered to vomit to this? this is NOTHING.

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Thursday, 19 August 2004 01:10 (nineteen years ago) link

note 'involuntary' in the subject line there

on the plus side, it made the gravy train!!! record i listened to shortly after sound almost palatable

― maura (maura), Thursday, 19 August 2004 01:12 (nineteen years ago) link

my involuntary response was to nearly fall asleep.

and believe me, this and Gravy Train Chk Chk Chk Chk are like [insert individual godhead here] compared to Scream Club, who have made the absolute end-of-discussion worst album of 2004. why do I say this? because if I hear a worse one I will fucking kill myself.

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Thursday, 19 August 2004 01:14 (nineteen years ago) link

What're you DOING to yrself Maura?

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Thursday, 19 August 2004 01:14 (nineteen years ago) link

In two months the collective rosters of Merge, Sub Pop, Matador, 4AD and XL will record an all-star rendition of "Give Peace A Chance."

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 19 August 2004 01:15 (nineteen years ago) link

LeTigre didn't even bother to incorporate the chant "My Bush Votes For Nader"!

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 19 August 2004 01:16 (nineteen years ago) link

or Kerry, for that matter.

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 19 August 2004 01:16 (nineteen years ago) link

I hear Northern State's new one sucks too. Whither the competent liberal musical artist? WHITHER?

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 19 August 2004 01:19 (nineteen years ago) link

I assume they're out but not interested in dumbass attempts at sloganeering?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 19 August 2004 01:23 (nineteen years ago) link

Miccio OTM about 1st Le Tigre and New Radio being the best (as far as the K-Han I've heard). A couple songs off Pussy Whipped are really good, too.
I never got to hear Julie Ruin, what's it like? Worth a dial-up speed download?

― AaronHz (AaronHz), Thursday, 19 August 2004 01:23 (nineteen years ago) link

They're out THERE I should say.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 19 August 2004 01:23 (nineteen years ago) link

I dunno Steve Earle's pretty good compared to that crap.

― AaronHz (AaronHz), Thursday, 19 August 2004 01:25 (nineteen years ago) link

Julie Ruin is interesting as a prelude to LeTigre but nowhere as memorable.

Yeah, Steve Earle might be as good as it gets right now. I'm pissed that Desaparecidos couldn't get it together to make their sophomore album. It was supposed to be out by april but evidently Conor's too busy reliving The Rolling Thunder Revue and CSN tours.

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 19 August 2004 01:27 (nineteen years ago) link

the northern state record (i listened to it in between lt and gt!!!) is riddled with 'celebrity' producers

bikini kill classics: 'new radio'/'rebel girl,' side a of 'pussy whipped,' and 'carnival'

― maura (maura), Thursday, 19 August 2004 01:27 (nineteen years ago) link

This is the visual representation of the single now, right?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 19 August 2004 01:39 (nineteen years ago) link

I CAN ACTUALLY EXPLAIN WHY THEY'RE UNIQUE AND REFRESHING, YOU REGURGIATE OLD CONFLICT COLUMNS WITHOUT A FUCKING CLUE. MAKE LIKE A GOOD BOY AND POST A JPG, SONNY JIM.

I'm optimistic about the new album now: Alexis Petridis doesn't like it much - although bizarrely he seems to like 'New Kicks'.

"frequently leaves you feeling like you're being harangued by Buffy the Vampire Slayer's right-on classmate" = "I can no longer be bothered to make any effort to hide my hatred of young women"

― Flyboy (Flyboy), Friday, 15 October 2004 13:34 (nineteen years ago) link

Has anyone here mentioned the fact that "Deceptacon" was used in a cell phone commercial up here in Canada? Did they think no one would notice?

― cybele (cybele), Friday, 15 October 2004 13:42 (nineteen years ago) link

This song really DID rouse the masses, didn't it. *snores*

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 15 October 2004 14:03 (nineteen years ago) link

THIS IS NOT THE VOICE OF YOUNG WOMEN OF GAY WOMEN OF ANYONE IT IS A BAD BAD BAD SINGLE BY THREE WOMEN AND THAT IS IT

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Friday, 15 October 2004 14:07 (nineteen years ago) link

This song is kind of awesome.

― The Good Dr. Bill (Andrew Unterberger), Friday, 15 October 2004 14:09 (nineteen years ago) link

Haha yeah it kinda is

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Friday, 15 October 2004 14:11 (nineteen years ago) link

seven months pass...

Hey, remember when that Le Tigre single almost took down George Bush? All I can say is, gimme more Susan Sarandon samples NOW.

― PB, Wednesday, 1 June 2005 00:01 (eighteen years ago) link

Honestly, I still can't get over how badly that song sucked......

― PB, Wednesday, 1 June 2005 00:02 (eighteen years ago) link

eleven years pass...

Should I see the Julie Ruin tonight?

― curmudgeon, Friday, 19 August 2016 17:31 (seven years ago) link

The Hit Reset album has gotten some good reviews, but I haven't listened to it yet

― curmudgeon, Friday, 19 August 2016 17:38 (seven years ago) link

Gig is sold out tonight. Will check the album out on Spotify and look for live videos. Pitchfork, Spin and Ann Powers (for NPR) rank it highly, but will see for myself.
