finally, I been stuck on youtube for months!! I adore this group, it is the perfect culmination of the decades spanning careers of all the artists in this group, and it shows off much of what they have learned and progressed towards musically, though both Carrie and Mary should up their stage presence, they are both a bit to awkward for ladies who have such longstanding and road tested experience at the microphone, and banter and rapport is a crucial part of any good stage show, in fact in Sonic Youth's case it is a major appeal about their gigs, that the band is sincere and we are all having a good time, but the energy has to flow out from the stage, not just sonically, but socially.

I am pumped for this album..

Seems to be following in the heavy guitar driven stuff SK did on "The Woods". I liked it.

That's some thermonuclear rock & roll right there! Thanks for posting. I do feel, though, that the Corin Tucker Band has unfairly received just a fraction of the coverage Wild Flag has; my guess is it has to do with the fact that WF is this instantly arresting, um, "supergroup" that's gonna melt your face while Corin's album and shows carry a heavier dose of... gravitas, I suppose. In any case, both acts are the shit and they should be bigger than Jesus, Muhammad, and Lady Gaga combined.

well Corin does have Sara Lund from Unwound, so that could count in a way as a microsupergroup

fucking shit! this is a sublime gig! thanks for posting!

in regards to this new WildFlag album, shit this ain't news, we don't need a bunch of blogs and zines pumping it up, we've been anticipating this album for months now, what, is WildFlag the new Miami Heat of the indy scene

 

also, to the points of Corin vs Carrie, it seems to be that Corin has been intentionally staying way off the radar, where as WildFlag seems to want to be something bigger. Also, folks have also seemed to always like Carrie more, even if just superficially (remember the "whose cuter" debates of 1997?) I think Corin just put this latest project together for herself, like several of her other small side-projects that went no-where bu released really decent albums. While adore Carrie's projects, I must admit that Corin since her first kid in 2001 has really matured a lot more, and I like where her music has been going, its been growing up with all of us, though I must admit I've been listening to these ladies since they were in their early 20s and I in my early teens..
