Xiu Xiu - What The Christ?

this really is some of the worst music ever made, I recoil viscerally from his entire aesthetic

my fave Xiu Xiu memory is watching an interminable, excruciating opening set for Swans and at a particularly self-indulgent faux-agony moment someone yelled out "it's OK dude! it's gonna be all right!"

Every time this thread gets bumped I think "There's a new Xiu Xiu album called What the Christ??!"

Also lol sleeve, for some reason people shitting on Xiu Xiu is very amusing to me (I say this as a fan). There is just something so appropriate, so cosmically and karmically right, about people hating this weird funny music.

Truly one of the great troll bands of our time (not just in the sense of doing inflammatory things, but "This guy has probably gotten banned from Something Awful and/or paid to have someone else banned")
