I might be a little biased with this one. My love for Sleater-Kinney will never die, if you find yourself in a similar state and have a little time on your hands while you wait for the reunion, you should go to Kill Rock Stars and download a free copy of the above or better yet, buy the album 1,000 Trees. That should be enough to fill the empty place in your heart where Corin Tucker's voice once resided but if you find there's still a little gap were Carrie Brownstein and Janet Weiss once were, exciting plans are afoot.
Carrie Brownstein's interview with Pitchfork today gave all Sleater-Kinney fans the crumb they're been looking for since they announced their hiatus in 2006.
Pitchfork: Finally, I have to ask: Any possibility of a Sleater-Kinney reunion at any point?
CB: [laughs] [pauses] Yeah, I don't think we're ruling it out. But it's not going to be any time soon. We probably wouldn't use the word "reunion" [laughs]. We would say that the hiatus is off. It's just semantics, but yeah [laughs]. "Reunion" is a scary word. There's some horrible connotations in the word "reunion" [laughs]. It involves a lot of, like, face makeup, and everyone commenting about how much older we look. It's precarious: the longer you wait, I think it gets worse.
Pitchfork: Well, I know it would make a lot of people happy.
Until that happens, if you're looking for something new from Carrie Brownstein at least, check out her project with Mary Timony called The Spells over on her highly addictive NPR blog Monitor Mix and become the brand new owner of some previoulsy unreleased tracks.
