St. Sleater
St. Vincent and Carrie Brownstein (of Sleater-Kinney & Portlandia) are working together on the new Sleater-Kinney album their first since their reunion in 2015. They are also working on a short film together where they plan on playing exaggerated versions of themselves.
Album of The Week
Laid - James (1993)
“We made you feel the way you are is wrong
We made you what you are
You are afraid”
“My therapist said not to see you no more
She said you’re like a disease without any cure”
After originally being named Venereal and the Diseases, and switching names several more times the group finally settled on James. I’m thinking it is possible sticking with the name Venereal and the Diseases would have hurt their chances at major success. This album was a collaboration with Brian Eno, apart from the song One of the Three which Eno didn’t like so they waited until he wasn’t around to record it and add it to the record.
Best New Track: In The End
“Ain’t it strange
When everything you wanted
Was nothing that you wanted
In the end”
Black Angel
“He’s turning old, he shall never return
Sail on to the eternal reward”
Brothers on a Hotel Bed
“Cause I’m not who I used to be
No longer easy on the eyes but these wrinkles masterfully disguise
The youthful boy below”
Just Like Heaven
“And found myself alone, alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me”
