BITCHEN... StreamTransport is the way to go, correct?

DownloadHelper would work too.

I really love the album, but racehorse is a really shit song

For me, it's a highlight of both the album and the live shows.

There's a new Corin Tucker Band album out this week! I had ZERO idea about this until I read it on the All Music Guide newsletter just minutes ago. I gotta get on that Internet thing; I'm late on everything...

Thanks for the heads up, I really love the Corin Tucker Band, its like a matured version of Cadillaca, and I am very much looking forward to getting this new album :)

here is a link to a really kick ass Corin Tucker Band show from this week playing the new stuff

I really DIG it!!

I must spread some Reputation around before giving it to SuchFriendsAreDangerous again.

She's so frigging cool. And a mother of two. Why can't my mom be as cool as Corin?

Anyway, I think I'll get to see her at least twice this fall.

I am hoping to catch the LA show in october. I remember when Corin's first kid was born, it was so cool, I was much younger, and they had just inched into their late 20s, so we were all as fans and a band maturing together. It was soooo cool switch towards family oriented rocking. Bands that grow up with you are the best bands, bands that are stuck in the past tend to get dated real fast.

I was just thinking as I was watching that youtube gig how much I love that Corin is still playing live music and making kick ass albums for me, 15 years after my first S-K album, 12 years after my first gig with them, and they with wildflag just keep going strong, building a community and giving us good music to enjoy so we don't have to be stuck on nostalgia playlists ;)

happy birthday janet. you are much older than me but way cooler

I agree, I always get to chat with Janet cuz she and Carrie like to run the merch tables. At SK shows Janet was always out in the crowd, sort of like Steve is with SY. Why are the drummers always the sociable ones, is it cuz they sit in the back all lonely behind the kit?

The Corin Tucker Band is this week's guest editor at Magnet Magazine:

Robert Christgau's review of the new album:

I saw them at Aladin's.

Good stuff, but for a kid who literally grew up with S-K (seen them more than any other band but one) it was just like.... "uh. ok. But why not just regroup SK?"

I'm heading out in an hour, and I am too excited. I have been haunting dance halls and dive bars but I haven't seen a good rock show in two years! Just roots reggae..

because you wouldn't get to see mary and rebecca

Janet Weiss is more polyrhythmic than that four armed, four legged octopi drum monster that is mickey hart and bill kreutzmann on ACID yo!

I am surprisingly looking forward to hear this, and I generally don't dig drum albums, to Buddy Miles for me.

GOD-DAMN MOTHERFUCKING SHIT!!

It was a good run, shit 3 years!! I enjoyed the shows and the records and I can understand, these ladies have spent TWENTY years of their lives most nights of the week in dive bars and shit theaters, inevitably it takes its toll. Props to them for even coming together and making it work for as long as it did, it was really just an accident. Carrie and Mary were hanging out to remaster and release some The Spells material that was never finished in 1999, and shortly after Carrie published those tracks (which were epically good btw) on her NPR blog suddenly there are the rumors of Wild Flag. Ex Hex looks good, and clearly Carrie enjoys the Portlandia thing, she has become a literal Portland area celebrity, kicking it courtside at Blazers games like she was the Jack Nicholson or Spike Lee of the Northwest..

I wonder if Janet feels a bit foolish leaving the Jicks now....

I'm interested in Ex Hex and I'm sure Janet will find something. Maybe that SK reunion isn't too far off.

Janet recently released an album with Quasi and they've been touring for months..

And it's a double one, and it's better than London Calling.
