― jess, Wednesday, 8 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

― jess, Wednesday, 8 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

uhm....i used to want to shag carrie brownstien. does that count?

― nancy b., Wednesday, 8 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Corin Corin Corin Corin Corin.

Carrie's fast & bulbous enough for me, though. Tapered, too.

― Daver, Wednesday, 8 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

well y'all can fight over corin. i'm having carrie.

― di, Wednesday, 8 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

dave you can have captain beefheart or corin, but you can't have them both. cos i said so.

― di, Wednesday, 8 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

got me.

― di, Wednesday, 8 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i'm going to marry her. who wants to be the bridesmaids?

― di, Wednesday, 8 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

me! me!

I very much want to shag Carrie Brownstein, but my gender makes it an impossibility.

― Justyn Dillingham, Thursday, 9 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i am sort of in love with her. (in a nice way) i will pretend she likes boys, and if you try to tell me otherwise, i will put my hands over my ears and hum 'youre no rock n roll fun' really really loud

― Ron, Thursday, 9 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

what is it like to be 'fast, bulbous and tapered'?????

― Ron, Thursday, 9 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

carrie said "feel free to express yourselves through the medium of dance"!!!!!!!

― Ron, Thursday, 9 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

partly because the band she's in is too predictable and cool.
what about jim o'rourke? I think he's sexy so I'm hi-jacking this thread...

NOOOOO!!!! this is for carrie start yr own!!

― Ron, Thursday, 9 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

pah! y're just too eaasily pleased.
like she doesn't get "enough" adoration and lusting-over anyway.
mind you it's time I thought of a music-making or art laydee to get the hots for. Any suggestions? They should pref be romantic, tuff, not slim or skinny, like to dance with me and be horny, awkward, and not afflicted with rock-n-roll or "indie" cliches.

― haloist, Thursday, 9 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

she's not goth enough.

― jel --, Thursday, 9 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

haloist what about charlotte church!!

― mark s, Thursday, 9 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm not into kiddies! Plus she is a repulsive bane on humanity and I'd never heard of her til now so make it up to me or I'll throw sand in your eyes and rub salt in your papercuts (this is not innuendo).

― haloist, Thursday, 9 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

b-but she's a millionaire!!??

― mark s, Thursday, 9 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

and she loves her bum.

― RickyT, Thursday, 9 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

what about S*** Monday?

― hamish, Thursday, 9 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Monday = close but not for me. Maybe she's too "feminine". Also I can't get over the disappointment of her CD sucking.

― haloist, Thursday, 9 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Christa Donner is HOTTTTTT (art laydeee)

― Ron, Thursday, 9 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'll take Janet thank you very much.

― S., Thursday, 9 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I very much want to shag Carrie Brownstein, but my gender makes it an impossibility.

ha ha. but i still have no bridemaids. COME ON, PEOPLE!!!

― di, Thursday, 9 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Any suggestions? They should pref be romantic, tuff, not slim or skinny, like to dance with me and be horny, awkward, and not afflicted with rock-n-roll or "indie" cliches. i fill four of those categories at least. although you would probably say that i'm not horny enough and too r'n'r or too indie.

― di, Thursday, 9 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

yeah s!! janet is so hot. whenever i see quasi i mostly just look at janet the whole time. i like the way she plays. and she is less shy when performing as quasi than as s-k

― Ron, Thursday, 9 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Di you don't need to make a case for yourself as a worthy lust object for me!
hey everybody Di is ten to the seventy ninth times better than all of sleater kinney put together. so move to dunedin why don't you????? (not too many...got to keep the rents low etceteracetera).
and Di is definately "tuff" - it's my new favourite word, from (re) reading "The Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton. Tuff in their lexicon means like cool, rad, awesome. and "kick-ass". And now I will stop before I start writing down my thoughts that are creeping into the territory of questioning the theme of violence in the Hinton books (the four classics - apparently she later wrote some crap ones).

― haloist, Friday, 10 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

so move to dunedin why don't you?????

I am visiting, does that count? Di's kickass quotient is manifestly clear.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 10 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

as they say on diaryland, "woot!". hey cool so i'm tuff even though liz can beat me in an arm-wrestle.

― di, Saturday, 11 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i have one bridesmaid, petra volunteered. the bridemaids get to wear black pinstripe mini skirts, red fishnets, black lace-up fuckme boots and a skivvy. oh and i think lots and lots of eyeliner is in order. red lipstick.

― di, Saturday, 11 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Rowr! I wannabe a bridesmaid!

― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 11 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

yr in!

― di, Saturday, 11 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Hurrah! :-)

― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 11 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

jason were you saying you wanted to be my bridesmaid too? sorry i wasn't ignoring you, i didn't see yr post.

― di, Sunday, 12 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

justyn i mean. shit i'm a moron today.

― di, Sunday, 12 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I volunteer to be Di's bridesmaid on the condition that I get to make out with the best man. If he's, you know, gorgeous and all.

― rainy, Sunday, 12 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

and another condition is that you wait for my hair to get as beautiful as Ned's before you get hitched.

― rainy, Sunday, 12 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Aw.

― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 12 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

oh thank you rainy! okay you can have the best man, if there's a best man. it might be a best woman. or we might both have bridesmaids. but theres always hamish, the flower-boy!

― di, Monday, 13 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

okay i have 4 bridesmaids. only 6 to go.

― di, Monday, 13 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

CARRIE!

really? i quite like 'sympathy' - i love the bits carrie sings - i think it's her - the throaty bits. i hate the second song about nursing the baby on the sofa and watching s-11 & 'combat rock' is a bit over-cooked. i love 'oh!' - which is carrie's favourite too.

for consistency across an album i don't think you can beat AHOTBO.

'one beat' is very accessible. AHOTBO is the best title for an album too.

― Clare (not entirely unhappy), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 02:31 (twenty-two years ago)

anthony - how could you admit to owning a burnt copy in this context?!

― Clare (not entirely unhappy), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 02:32 (twenty-two years ago)

if you mean the lack of artwork re: sexiness context, Clare, I know...I know... I need them pics. But I'm validating their downfall if I buy it...ugh...I'll probably buy it used as soon as I see it there (not that I ever see a S-K album used anywhere).

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 02:34 (twenty-two years ago)

'pristinna' is all about making connections in the alternative music scene in the states while seeming cool and collaborative in the process - the fact that it exists as it does, not what the lyrics are saying. the keyboard work is by the guy who wrote the music for hedwig and the angry inch and carrie always likes to stress that she saw hedwig in the run-down theatre where it first showed in nyc; before it was franchised and before the film.

― Clare (not entirely unhappy), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 02:36 (twenty-two years ago)

But I'm validating their downfall if I buy it...

excuse me?

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 02:37 (twenty-two years ago)

i have these weird b sides that came out at the same time and have the same art work - 'lions and tigers' and 'words..'... can't really remember their names. quite like the art wk on 'one beat' - carrie is trying so hard on her page to appear clever. she's always using mathematical metaphors and she surrounds herself with bingo cards. her house - if its hers - looks like mine in that photo.

― Clare (not entirely unhappy), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 02:40 (twenty-two years ago)

well it's the lyrics, and the way Corin delivers the line "dirty rock and roll" that annoy me. Plus the music goes nowhere. It's an especially ironic number (indie rock=sexual freedom? wha?) in the era of Christina.

I loooove "Lions And Tigers" on that B-side disc. Should have replaced "faraway" on "One Beat."

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 02:44 (twenty-two years ago)

b-side disc? elucidate

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 02:45 (twenty-two years ago)

there was a 2-song bonus disc with early copies of the album. My fellow ILXor Carey was nice enough to burn both onto a CD-R for me. They're easily better than the two weakest songs on "One Beat" (whatever they are for anybody).

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 02:48 (twenty-two years ago)

i pre-ordered that bitch and didn't get no stinkin b-sides. what a rip

― ron (ron), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 02:51 (twenty-two years ago)

i'll send you a burn of mine

― Clare (not entirely unhappy), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 02:54 (twenty-two years ago)

no anthony, the 'word...' one is not good at all, i think. that second song on 'one beat' in which corin bleats about being a mother while s-11 happens is even better than it.

― Clare (not entirely unhappy), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 03:08 (twenty-two years ago)

I'll admit I can't remember what the first song sounds like. But I'll stand by "Lions And Tigers." I'll even HUG it.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 03:16 (twenty-two years ago)

well that 'word...' song is a smartypants song about...words. it's stage one linguistics, which, even though carrie is supposed to have done a degree in sociolinguistics, i noticed once evergreen doesn't even offer!

but i still love her, with all her faults.

― Clare (not entirely unhappy), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 03:19 (twenty-two years ago)

doesn't evergreen do a "make your own degree" deal? I believe Matt Groening's degree was in punk rock.

Part of me wishes I went their. But I get the feeling I'd be obscenely macho by default or something if I did.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 03:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Part of me wishes I went their

the spelling part ;-)

― ron (ron), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 03:23 (twenty-two years ago)

or perhaps not?

― ron (ron), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 03:24 (twenty-two years ago)

the proofchecking part. I am very aware of my mistakes. :(

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 03:26 (twenty-two years ago)

well the make yr own degree thing would explain the fact that they don't offer what she's supposed to have done.

― Clare (not entirely unhappy), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 03:34 (twenty-two years ago)

The word song is "Off with your head" and I lurb it.

Time to hijack thread and ask: SK album art search/destroy.

― Leee (Leee), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 07:15 (twenty-two years ago)

i dont like the one beat cover

― ron (ron), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 07:20 (twenty-two years ago)

B-b-b-but Ron! The back liner cover!

If for only Carrie, here the embodiment of ROCK COOL.

― Leee (Leee), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 07:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey, so did I! (And I didn't really like it.)

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 07:26 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah, that pic is fine

the cover is kind of ass

there's like this kidney/condom thing going on that i don't like

― ron (ron), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 09:16 (twenty-two years ago)

One Beat rules as they sound more like Led Zeppelin than ever before (ie. to some maybe "clompy" and "long"). And for other reasons, not that I can be bothered explaining cos I wrote a lot of them out already once for a "review". I love the cover. I have that back pic (not on my album copy, I got it on vinyl) on a bigass poster.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 11:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh. All this talk of S-K makes me so happy. I hardly know anyone that interested in discussing them any more... I guess because there has been some sort of S-K cult that everyone fears...? Anyway, early S-K albums make me very happy. Sometimes I do get in the mood to listen to later stuff, esp. AHOTBO. I don't listen to Hot Rock too often because it makes me sad. One Beat has songs about 9-11 that get me down too, so I haven't really given that one a good enough listen.

Carrie and Corin were together? But no more obviously. And it's weird - like Janet staying in Quasi after her divorce.

When I first listened to 8 arms to hold you, I felt certain that Louise and Nina were hot for each other. I read all kinds of things into their lyrics. So I guess I've been kind of reluctant to jump to conclusions like that (or even entertain the idea?).

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 14:13 (twenty-two years ago)

I never got the impression Ca/Co were on like MARRIAGE terms, tho... it's very, very cool they (and Janet) put their bands above personal crap.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 14:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Maybe... Or is it just silly? I think they could have made great bands on their own with other people.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 14:57 (twenty-two years ago)

wow, resident stalker clare seems to really have carrie figured out, from her intellect to what she "actually" looks like to the intimate details of her personal life. and all from the internet! i mean, you'd practically think she has even actually met carrie or knows her personally! ain't technology amazing? i'm in awe.

― ramona, Wednesday, 5 March 2003 19:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Don't snark on Clare. She promised us SK slash.

― Leee (Leee), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 19:39 (twenty-two years ago)

i have met her

― Clare (not entirely unhappy), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 19:47 (twenty-two years ago)

& the rest is interpretation and imagination - i didn't know this place was home to such essentialist literalists.

if you choose to be 'famous' this is what you can expect...the good with the bad, or imaginative, as the case may be.

― Clare (not entirely unhappy), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 19:52 (twenty-two years ago)

which one is Carrie Brownstein again?

― DV (dirtyvicar), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 19:55 (twenty-two years ago)

i don't want to comment on that - ask ramona, s/he's her body guard...

― Clare (not entirely unhappy), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 20:09 (twenty-two years ago)

ps (too much coffee this morning): ramona - it's no wonder the war on iraq is gearing up when there are people like you in the world: righteous and moral high-ground hogging.

you're so dry & dusty i feel like i'm having an asthma attack as i post this, a few lines down from yr flaky assertions.

i respectfully suggest you read some cultural theory - start with dick hebdige.

did you go to sunday school?

― Clare (not entirely unhappy), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 21:02 (twenty-two years ago)

oh - and finally ramona - i really don't think this is the right place to diss opinions gleaned from/supported by the internet!!!!!!

in case you haven't noticed - this place is pretty much underpinned by that material!!!!!!

(you hurt my feelings, ramona, and i'll never fly that high again (and i may not go ahead with publishing my novel) - what have we got if we don't have imagination? can someone put that on my gravestone? i used to want that cure line, 'the air no longer in my throat, another perfect lie is choaked' as my epitaph)

one month passes...

I touched Carrie Brownstein's breasts one time. She was coming out of a house party, and I tried to stop her. My hand accidentally went there. She was still really nice about it, though she certainly didn't talk to me. She's much better looking in real life than in pictures. They all are. They're tiny, and I think they have a drinking or drug problem. Why else would they be crusing college parties?

That was an upsetting/disillusioning moment for me too. I still <3 her though and think portlandia is hilarious

― Treeship, Sunday, 9 June 2013 15:59 (twelve years ago)

iirc, she shilled for Priceline or some other similar site a few years ago, when S-K was still active.

Neither that nor the AMEX ad are nearly as disillusioning as that racist fucking Portlandia sketch about the Japanese tourists.
