karma is a bitch. i understand, and sorta even think, he didn't believe he didn't do anything "wrong." BUT STILL. never have i had more faith, or interest in, admiralty law.
YES.
so sleater-kinney is near-terminally dormant. i had just already been re-appreciating "one beat" of late (yeah really, stef, except for the song with the horns). "faraway" made me cry the first several, or dozen, times i heard it, and the reaction isn't so different these days either. (even mid-run. and while we're at it, that album is so good for endorphins, if not as great as the insistent throwdown of "the obliterati" (already, and still, my vote for album of the year).) and while i ultimately internalized "the woods" as "flawed but intriguing transition album," i know it's all for the best. the best elegy, or at least the one most nearly aligned with my own opinions, can be found here . (dude has been pretty on fire lately, especially with his breakdown of the "reasonable doubt" concert, and a few weeks before that, an excellent exposition re: atmosphere , although, i have to accede to the zen master in the one case, even if i haven't heard the album.) whatever your opinion, you have to respect. they certainly transcended the typical riot-grrl footnote.
