I can't decide. Both is not an option.

Sorry, it is. Clone yourself.

Corgan, dude. Sleater-Kinney whataver, but Dead Meadow are the suck

I'd go see Corgan, though I'm not really a fan of his. I can't imagine Sleater-Kinney being very exciting live. I could, of course, be wrong.

Dead Meadow are friigin' awesome!.

S-K are actually pretty intense live. When I first moved to Seattle, I saw just about every show they did here for about two years.

Sleater-Kinney are the best live band I've ever seen, Alex

wow. Okay, I stand corrected. The only thing I'm going on, really, is their albums -- which have never done much for me -- and I saw Quasi live once (opening for Elliott Smith) and they were as dull as dishwater (not that Elliott set the stage on fire by comparison either, mind you)

Yeah, SK rule live. Brownstein owns the stage.

SK live was indeed the best I've ever seen

Carrie does rule. She's cool like Keith up there. They're great live.

sleater-kinney are phenomenal live. if you like them enough to even consider going, you'll love the show. i think dead meadow are pretty awesome live too, so taking corgan over sleater/DM is not even close to an option IMO.

i loved the pumpkins, but corgan needs to win me back before i start seeing him live again.

Hmm. I'm an ex-fan of Corgan (since '96 or so) and a never-fan of SK, but I like some Quasi and I really like the Donner Party, so I'd go with SK.

I really can't believe how any music fan can take Dead Meadow seriously. I mean, have you never heard metal before?

I DARE you to defend the vocals.

SK live is one of the most cathartic experiences ever. Sometimes I think they hold the title of, er, The World's Greatest Rock and Roll Band.

Saw'em in Chicago in '02 and agree. Anyone going to the Atlanta show?

― Alfred Soto (Alfred Soto), Saturday, 21 May 2005 13:13 (twenty-one years ago)

S-K it is I guess. Mainly because Billy Corgan is charging $40 for a show at fucking WEBSTER HALL... where pretty much every show is $15.

Let's see, drinking an entire glass of your dad's spit, OR doing naked jumping jacks in front of your boss.

I think you want ILE

This thread makes me sad.

SK playing two consecutive nights in LA. I will of course be in NY for both.

Dear job that pays the rent and gets me nice things like the laptop on which I am writing this: thanks for pooping in my oatmeal.

If it makes you feel any better, I'll buy you a beer in NY.

I was at this show, Alfred! Yeah, it was fantastic.
