Sleater-Kinney breaks up

"Words and Guitar" popped up on satellite radio, and my daughter, 7, in the backseat, chimed in that it sounded like the same people who sing "Rock Lobster."

She's right, of course.

Was there really an Interpol dis song on The Woods?

Interpol Suck My Cock iirc

AKA "Entertain":

That’s why I think the White Stripes are a million times better than Interpol. The White Stripes made it feel brand new, even though it was blues riffs, you know? But Interpol just makes me think that Ian Curtis should be getting royalties. There’s that line [on The Woods’ "Entertain"] ‘You come around sounding 1972/Where’s the black and blue?’ Where’s the essence of it?

1972? Black and blue? Why 1972? What does that have to do with Interpol? If anything, it scans like a White Stripes dis.

what if they'd written a happy song about the white stripes making rock new again instead

drums + guitar, they got it

Maybe she meant 1982?

I don't know JD's timeline so nm.

Nothing rhymes well with JD's timeline ('77-'80).

"you come around sounding so masturbatey/ I wish it was you that died in 1980"

Xgau has always been skeptical of repackaging of product, including in live form, but I would understand that tweet as a typically-barbed request, and not, it should already be completely obvious, any sort of attack on the band's prior output.

I always think Strokes, but that's probably not who they meant.

Xgau has always been skeptical of repackaging of product, including in live form,

He's always been pretty lukewarm about live albums, for some reason.

And on the subject of live albums, remastering, shmemastering -- S-K should've put out a live record!

typically-barbed request? Haven't seen these. Examples?
Just took it as curiosity x seeking stimulating useful responses (might incl. barbed)

The last gig would've been nice.

uh..

Vinyl boxset only?

Long lost rarity or newly recorded????

oh dammmmmmmmmmmmmm!

https://www.clearvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/what-the-what.gif

it'll be on youtube in 24 hours

Cover art for No Cities To Love, the new something, is up: http://www.wonderingsound.com/news/sleater-kinney-release-new-music/

Again I say oh dammmmmmmmmmmmmm!

If this is a new ~album~, how was news of such a reunion not already leaked???

Portlandia exists solely as a method of distraction.

THAT TIME CORIN GUEST-STARRED! IT ALL MAKES SENSE.

a whole new album would be insane

If Beyoncé could pull it off, so could S-K.

could def imagine them covering 'pretty hurts'

If you go back to the Pitchfork link now, they've embedded an instagram video from Stereogum with an audio clip of "Bury Your Friends" and it sounds like a good song in as much as you can tell from just a few seconds of it.

can I just? AAAAAAAH

Head explode.

Sounds great. Please, someone, keep them away from Danger Mouse.

Sounds pretty solid to me

New alb, tour, can dl single:

!

Oh snap. I watched their penultimate show from the side of the stage here and my feeling then was, man, this band has so much more to offer. Belated, but I'll take the return.

Seriously. . . does the world need ONE MORE S-K album?

If the other nine songs are as good as Bury Your Friends, then the answer is yes.

fuck you S-K for making me want to go to Terminal 5

Who said it's just going to be one more album? The fact that they bothered to record another album when they could have just reunited and toured indicates the creative juices are flowing. I dunno if we'll get another tour/record/tour cycle, but I bet/hope they keep releasing new stuff, in some form.

I heard whispers about this several months ago but the tru feelings of ecstatic joy didn't hit me til today

No Cleveland date, of course, since nobody ever comes here anymore, so I'll do either Pittsburgh or Chicago. (Or DC, maybe, since I still have a lot of friends down there I'd like to see.)

Terminal 5 sucks but I would still go see SK even if they were playing at the bottom of the East River.
