12:59 PM - remmber when...
Forget Cassettes! What? YES! Indeed! Even though Doni ran off with a bunch of meatheadesque-ADD-laden-destructo-freaks, Beth has managed to find two fine looking fellas to pick up where FC left off. I can't wait for them to make their way up here. Beth writes the bestest songs. In not entirely related news, aside from the fact that I've always thought Forget Cassettes sounded quite a bit like them, Sleater-Kinney's new record, The Woods, is out. Of course I couldn't wait and I had to buy it... and it's a little insane. I haven't watched the live footage dvd that came with it (for no extra cost, apparently, that's nice of them), but the artwork and the fuzzy-psychedellic (there's an 11-minute jam on the record!) are a bit disconcerting at first for fans of S-K, but I think I (and the rest of you who love them) will get over it. Just listen to the single, "Entertain" first and you'll feel right at home (especially since the song has been a staple of their live set for a while now so you probably know it anyway.) Track-by-track review possibly eventually or at least theoretically. For now, you can stream the record, watch the video for "Entertain", and download the "Entertain" mp3, though I certainly do suggest you just go out and buy the whole record.

I think Rollercoaster is pretty old-school S-K too, no? That may be one of my favorite songs on the album. Maybe even more so than Entertain.

ah so did you cave and buy it or are you just listening to the stream?

Sometimes late at night I listen to the stream that flows behind my house. It's very calming.
