I'm still kind of in denial this exists.

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'

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.

TS: 20 year-old pigfuck cliches vs. 35 year-old "punk" cliches.

TS: white dudes "rapping" over nu-metal guitar and scratching vs. like, uh, anything.

TS: writing about music that has 100% obvious appeal vs. writing about tour injuries

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.
