But this song really isn't awful or anything, just not as good.It's looking like the member they lost after the first LP was key, isn't it?

B-but it's the same rhythm used on 'We Didn't Start The Fire' by Billy Joel!

Momus, are you being "ironic" or is there something wrong with your brain?

As far as this le tigre is concerned, I have access to a recording of Eleanor Roosevelt telling a racist joke about the Japanese while entertaining troops, if we're all curious about what democracy sounds like.
But for the video, hey: they're shootin' hoops, brah!

now for my 2c., awfulness is partly due to an affected earnestness, faux-naif, purposefully artless, etc. approach that le tigre seems to be adopting more and more. I think this also applies to the beasties protest song a while back that was received with equal disdain and horror. (not that it mitigates against their bad-ness, just a hunch on the "why")

a little bit of background for you. not so long ago, straight white middle-class feminists were being criticised by other feminists for claiming to represent women when in fact they were espousing a straight white middle-class perspective on womanhood. Now when a woman supports lesbian politics, its a cromw cos apparently its "co-opting". perhaps some people around here think straight women should go back to their old heterosexist ways??
hey, and having a 16 year old girlfriend, while it might get you a bunch of envy round here, doesn't make your statement about "dumb 13 year old chicks" or whatever any less patronising and hateful.

By the way, I just heard TKO on a Universal sampler I got from the record store where I work and it's much better.

As it stands, it's about as subversive as a Rage Against The Machine t-shirt.

i don't know anyone who thinks KH is gay, i must be out of the loop. i guess what i meant was that your point seemed to be "you can only sing about 'lesbian stuff' (which KH hardly ever does anyway except as a gesture of support) if you're a lesbian and if you're not you can't be taken seriously," which seems more than a little dubious to me (do you hate DAVID BOWIE?). but i guess you'll just give me one of those "yeah whatever i don't care much PS have i mentioned this song SUCKS?" answers so hey, forget it.

well, i've never banged on about it but....
my opinion of the song has nothing to do with lesbians or kathleen hanna though (i like a lot of le tigre's other stuff). it just sucks.

Or is it somewhere here?

because the scrollbar arrows don't work for me.I'm bot stupid, I'm using a common browser and I've tried hard to find the video, but I can't. Universal need new web-designers!

When listening to a KORN track brings you back to some semblance of balance, you know you've been exposed to an awful song. I mean, the simple sloganeering and all don't bother me nearly as much as the feeling that I've heard this song about 500 times since 1988, only it was called "Def Con One"/"Touched By The Hand Of Cicciolina"/"You And Me And Everything"/"Cocaine Sex"/"Psyche-Out"/"World In Motion"/etc.
