Apparently he's recorded a spoken word performance for their new record, sounds interesting, however the Cribs are the last band i thought he would work with...

The Cribs are kinda awful :(

I'll listen to the song before I start throwing opinions around though.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly i hate them so much and being here in england they are just anither new wave shit collecting band.

Lee is a genuin guy though obviously so he must have heard something in them. lucky bleeders!

I thought this thread title was
Lee Ranaldo guest on TV Show Cribs!

the new fellas was a pretty decent album by them. this should be a good listen.

Ha ha......same.

I like that Hey Scenesters song they did. I decided to give them a chance as they were always namechecking Huggy Bear in interviews.

I hated that song. I saw em live once a good few years back.. not by choice... they sucked the big D!

Kim Gordon designing sleeves for The Gossip.Lee Ranaldo collaborating with The Cribs.The signs are there that the next SY album will be their take on 'New Rave'.You heard it here first.

alex kapranos from franz ferdinand is producing this.. should be interesting.

Is K G really designing a sleeve for the Gossip? sigh..

this just saddens me. the pagoda story is bad enough.

Why are people bothered by this? It seems to me if Lee wants to contribute to a Cribs CD and Kim wants to design a cover for The Gossip, then they should. Does this constitute selling out in some way? I think not. To those that feel that way, it's time to grow up. I understand where you're coming from, but it ultimately doesn't matter how anyone but the parties involved feel about it.

"The Franz Ferdinand singer added: "We met up with Lee Ranaldo (Sonic Youth) in NYC after Christmas for the song 'Be Safe' and (it was) one of the most spine tingling studio moments I can remember - the band playing, Gary singing and Lee improvising, all completely live. However the highlight of the recording was back in Vancouver for Ryan's 'face melting' guitar solo which involved a litre of shit wine, a somersault and a snapped neck on his favourite guitar."

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, i've met the cribs about 12 times!!!, they are really big dinosaur jr fans!!! the youngest one is the nicest one.

The Cribs are pretty awful, i have no idea why Lee ranaldo is involved. I saw them as a support band a few years ago and it was just dreadful. So perhaps deeper observation is required...

maybe the cribs payed him? ha ha ha

they were on Later with Jools the other night and i switched off after about 5 minutes... i dont understand where they seem to be coming from, and thats usually a good sign.
