New song rocks. It's like Judas Priest or something.
Got tickets for the Chicago show, totally psyched.

So two authorized preview tracks now, also

if won't show cover, it's a mixtape

a stupid fake mixtape

i guess it kind of makes sense for pitchfork to celebrate the return of a band gone for nearly a decade by doing some "lol what if indie rockers were rappers" humor from more than a decade ago
― da croupier, Thursday, 4 December 2014 22:01 (nine years ago) link
This new track is a lot better than the first one.

love the band for being such good sports about this show. taken me a long time, but i think i'm finally "getting" this band.
also, wrong to say, i guess, but i think i have a crush on all three members of sleater-kinney.

I'm 7 minutes into that and Tom Scharpling has been not paying attention and texting the entire time... What's he doing there?
― Evan, Friday, 5 December 2014 23:15 (nine years ago) link
He makes an awkward and shitty backdrop to the otherwise fun atmosphere.
― Evan, Friday, 5 December 2014 23:17 (nine years ago) link
never heard of the host but his nerdiness is kind of endearing.
― Daniel, Esq 2, Friday, 5 December 2014 23:17 (nine years ago) link
I feel like I've seen him more than once but the one place I can remember him being in was a Real Estate video.
― Evan, Friday, 5 December 2014 23:21 (nine years ago) link
omg i wanna kill scharpling watching this

Dan - Chris Gethard is sort of a mid-level NY comedy institution. V hip. I think someone on the AV Club had mused (impossibly; improbably) that he should have taken over Late Night after Fallon went to Tonight Show
― Bringing the mosh (Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved), Saturday, 6 December 2014 17:00 (nine years ago) link
Having seen Seth Meyers' attempt to do that, I'd agree.

SF show on a weekend too!
I'm supposed to be in Austin that weekend and free the night of their show.
― Don A Henley And Get Over It (C. Grisso/McCain), Tuesday, 9 December 2014 18:41 (nine years ago) link
Still really weird that I get to see the first show, kind of like they're warming up in front of the rubes before playing the real places.
― joygoat, Tuesday, 9 December 2014 22:00 (nine years ago) link
Scored a ticket for Austin!
― Don A Henley And Get Over It (C. Grisso/McCain), Wednesday, 10 December 2014 16:07 (nine years ago) link
Can't get the SK site to load, it's just going through Ticketmaster, right?
― TAKING SIDES: HUMANS VS. GUACAMOLEEE (Leee), Wednesday, 10 December 2014 18:14 (nine years ago) link
Christ, Seattle sold out in ~30 seconds for both dates.
― Tomás Piñon (Ryan), Wednesday, 10 December 2014 18:15 (nine years ago) link
Ugh I blame Portlandia.
― TAKING SIDES: HUMANS VS. GUACAMOLEEE (Leee), Wednesday, 10 December 2014 18:16 (nine years ago) link
Xps I did it through the S-K main page, which links through to a non-Ticketmaster ticket site.
Remember though, this is just a presale allotment of tickets--more will be available soon.
― Don A Henley And Get Over It (C. Grisso/McCain), Wednesday, 10 December 2014 18:33 (nine years ago) link
Apparently SF sold out in seconds as well, so a lot of fun nonsense.

Before the general onsale Friday there will be a LiveNation pre-sale tomorrow at 10 AM in some markets. You can access this presale if you have the LiveNation Mobile App or with a password. Does anyone have the password?
― Badmotorfinger Debate Club (MFB), Wednesday, 10 December 2014 23:14 (nine years ago) link
The password is "presents" not sure if this is for all markets (this is for the SF show)
― Badmotorfinger Debate Club (MFB), Wednesday, 10 December 2014 23:52 (nine years ago) link
thanks. the SF sale on the site today was a pain in the ass.
― akm, Thursday, 11 December 2014 03:07 (nine years ago) link
Got my LiveNation presale, more expensive than the SK presale but general sale is almost definitely going to be a frenzied rush.
― TAKING SIDES: HUMANS VS. GUACAMOLEEE (Leee), Thursday, 11 December 2014 18:22 (nine years ago) link
what is the SF password? presents doesn't seem to work
― akm, Thursday, 11 December 2014 20:20 (nine years ago) link
maybe the whole thing went to shit as usual with these presales
― akm, Thursday, 11 December 2014 20:21 (nine years ago) link
oh it was a flash issue. why the fuck are they still using flash on ticketmaster/LN? jesus. ticket obtained.
― akm, Thursday, 11 December 2014 20:41 (nine years ago) link
I think I asked this once before but didn't get any responses, so: is this one of the few exceptions to the "Don't wear a band's t-shirt to their concerts" rule?
― TAKING SIDES: HUMANS VS. GUACAMOLEEE (Leee), Thursday, 11 December 2014 21:04 (nine years ago) link
i have a picture of me and janet weiss at a 2002 show in which i'm wearing a SK shirt, which has always kind of embarrassed me :(
― (The Other) J.D. (J.D.), Thursday, 11 December 2014 21:19 (nine years ago) link
You need to get that picture on a shirt and wear it to the show.
― how's life, Thursday, 11 December 2014 21:20 (nine years ago) link
And get another picture with Janet, naturally.
― Evan, Thursday, 11 December 2014 21:28 (nine years ago) link
I've never owned an S-K shirt :-(
But I do have one for the Corin Tucker Band!
Do they still sell the "S-K Is For Lovers" one? It's not in the new online store.

I have 2 SK shirts, one from their final tour that has a silhouette of a dog on it and says "Sleater-Kinney" very tiny and I never wear it bcz it looks like a dumb THE BLACK DOG MARTHAS VINEYARD shirt
The other looks like a cool stencil and I cut it into a tank top and I have had it for over 10 years and it is totally threadbare because it is my favorite shirt
― fgti jaq, it's chinavision! (Stevie D(eux)), Friday, 12 December 2014 23:21 (nine years ago) link
prefer "lions and tigers" to at least 2/3rds of the songs on one beat

I'm so bummed I missed the original pressing of the box set. 3,000 sold out quickly! A small number have shown up on Discogs but for mostly silly money. Did any of them make it to shops?
― Your Ribs are My Ladder, Sunday, 14 December 2014 23:08 (nine years ago) link
first run was colored vinyl, second was black. I'm not sure if they ever got to shops, but if they did it would have been that second pressing.
