― Jockey, Wednesday, 25 May 2005 18:28 (twenty-one years ago)

S-K.

― The Brainwasher (Twilight), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 18:28 (twenty-one years ago)

haha Sleater

― miccio (miccio), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 18:28 (twenty-one years ago)

No, YOU common.

― David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 18:28 (twenty-one years ago)

S-K

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 18:29 (twenty-one years ago)

I actually had to make this choice yesterday.

I bought Common.

I chose poorly.

― Scott CE (Scott CE), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 18:38 (twenty-one years ago)

COMMON Scott!

― David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 18:38 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm getting killed.

― mcd (mcd), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 18:38 (twenty-one years ago)

ditto

― jack cole (jackcole), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 18:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, geez, you guys - COMMON!!!

(OK, I'm done.)

― David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 18:40 (twenty-one years ago)

sleater-kinney easy

(Plz read my posts w/ the accent on the 2nd syllable thx.)

― David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 18:43 (twenty-one years ago)

aww, com'mon..do i have to?

i still have the new oneida to buy

― b b, Wednesday, 25 May 2005 18:44 (twenty-one years ago)

I bought them both yesterday. Had a gun been waved, however, I would have chose S-K.

― Not Thaat Chuck, Wednesday, 25 May 2005 18:45 (twenty-one years ago)

I was at the record store yesterday and didn't consider buying either one (and didn't even notice the S-K). I did buy Breakbeat Science Exercise 5 and Meat Beat Man-fiesta, though.

― Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 18:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Buncha rockists...Love the new S-K too, but I'm giving Common the slight edge...

― Jockey, Wednesday, 25 May 2005 18:50 (twenty-one years ago)

S-K.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 18:55 (twenty-one years ago)

S-K

― Gear! (can Jung shill it, Mu?) (Gear!), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 18:57 (twenty-one years ago)

I like Common just because he and Mia did a Pepsi commercial all about being real and not selling out. You have to have a profound sense of irony to do that.

(oh shit selling out)

― __//..>, Wednesday, 25 May 2005 19:10 (twenty-one years ago)

by that logic you should love the video edit of "Entertain"

― miccio (miccio), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 19:11 (twenty-one years ago)

MYA MYA MYA MYA

― David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 19:15 (twenty-one years ago)

S-K by an almost unquantifiably large margin.

― Zack Richardson (teenagequiet), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 19:18 (twenty-one years ago)

16 yr old me: SK
20 yr old me: Common
present-day me: bullet to head

― ()ops (()()ps), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 19:28 (twenty-one years ago)

OK, actually, I'd like to issue a slight retraction. I was deathly bored by the Common record the first couple of times, but I am listening to it again, and it's growing on me. I wouldn't trade it for S-K just yet.

― Scott CE (Scott CE), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 19:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Has he retreated to normal Commonness after the psychedlic trainwreck of the last one?

― Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 19:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Electric Scapegoat

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 19:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Oops, you were into S-K in high school???

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 19:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Also, wasn't the Mya/Common thing a Coke commercial?

― Scott CE (Scott CE), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 19:48 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm totally against both really but this S-K record sounds like it's so un-S-K that I'd have to go with S-K.

― Raymond Cummings (Raymond Cummings), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 19:51 (twenty-one years ago)

sk. who is common?

― kyle (akmonday), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 20:00 (twenty-one years ago)

jay, i wasn't *that* into them specifically, but i was aware of them, and that whole style of music was more my thing then. i haven't listened to any indie or whatever you wanna call it since high school. likewise, haven't liked any common since like water for choc.

― ()ops (()()ps), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 20:06 (twenty-one years ago)

actually i remember hearing/reading, in HS, how great this new band Sleater-Kinney was, then I heard some of their album and didn't get what all the fuss was about, and I haven't listened to that type of music since. so I blame them!

― ()ops (()()ps), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 20:09 (twenty-one years ago)

i think i heard of s-k in early 1997 (i.e., freshman year of college), when dig me out was released, and i put up a photo of the band on my dorm wall, because i thought they were cute. but i never actually heard them at all until one beat! i don't know if i would've gotten what all the fuss was about circa call the doctor, either. my favorites are the hot rock and all hands on the bad one.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 20:22 (twenty-one years ago)

I'll take the bullet in the cranium, thanks.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 21:31 (twenty-one years ago)

I was into SK in high school! Bought Dig Me Out after reading about them in SPIN.

― miccio (miccio), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 21:46 (twenty-one years ago)

i grab you gun and shoot in you face and you die

― Amon (eman), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 22:01 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm with Alex...it's hard to imagine worse albums in their respective genres right now.

― paulhw (paulhw), Friday, 27 May 2005 02:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Common. But like many others, the bullet looks tantalizing. I can't imagine myself making the choice to listen to Sleater Kinney over thousands of far more interesting albums though, where as I can see myself playing the Common at least once.

― Alan Conceicao (Alan Conceicao), Friday, 27 May 2005 02:26 (twenty-one years ago)

My friends were into Sleater-Kinney when I was in high school. I listened to the "More Than a Feeling" cover.

― Sundar (sundar), Friday, 27 May 2005 02:33 (twenty-one years ago)

(I never heard one of their albums until 3rd or 4th year of undergrad though.)

― Sundar (sundar), Friday, 27 May 2005 02:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Common. I'm not a big Sleater-Kinney fan, although they are fun to see live.

― lyra (lyra), Friday, 27 May 2005 03:05 (twenty-one years ago)

common (though i'm not a big fan).

i would've taken a bullet to the brain in the sleater-kinney v. pavement choice, though.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Friday, 27 May 2005 03:15 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't know much about him, but from what I've heard Common's name aptly describes his music.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 27 May 2005 03:59 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah, i'm going more on utter dislike for sleater-kinney than love for common w/ my choice.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Friday, 27 May 2005 04:02 (twenty-one years ago)

I choose massive head trauma.

― John Justen (johnjusten), Friday, 27 May 2005 04:04 (twenty-one years ago)

I like lots of Common songs. This album is sort of a snooze. Whats with all these short + mediocre albums in hip-hop? I'd rather have bloated albums that people say "it could have been a masterpiece" than artists thinking that short tracklist = classic.

― deej., Friday, 27 May 2005 04:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Whats with all these short + mediocre albums in hip-hop?

should say "...in hip-hop lately?"

― deej., Friday, 27 May 2005 04:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Don't need to buy either; they were sent to me for free. MVE would only give me a fiver for the pair, bastards.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Friday, 27 May 2005 04:45 (twenty-one years ago)

three months pass...

― arlee, Wednesday, 31 August 2005 01:18 (twenty years ago)

S-K, but without much pleasure.
