This is actually the first Xiu Xiu album I've heard all the way through -- and it's quite good. Allegedly Devendra is all over this?

Now I imagine Devendra in Spider-man body paint.

isn't it just a live album? there is a xiu xiu/devendra split 7" where they covere one another but i don't think life and live has any devendra connections.

The credits imply it's all live, but if so they did a New Adventures in Hi-Fi thing to remove crowd noise and claps from all songs aside from a couple.

Strange ... this is the Xiu Xiu album I can't listen to all the way through. It's good, it's just too homogeneous. OK, you already played seven straight solo acoustic ballads of near-complete silence, now PLAY "JENNIFER LOPEZ" AGAIN.

dr troll and helsabot are very nice, but mostly it makes me want to listen to the original versions of the songs.

xiu xiu cover 'the body breaks' and devendra covers 'support our troops', on their split in case anyone was wondering.
