In the ordinary use of discourse - for example, in a discussion between two friends - the interlocutors use any available ammunitions, changing games from one utterance to the next: questions, requests, assertions, and narratives are launched pell-mell into battle. The war is not without rules, but the rules allow and encourage the greatest possible flexibility of utterance. From this point of view, and institution differs from a conversation in that it always requires supplementary constraints for statments to be declared admissible within its bounds. The constraints function to filter discursive potentials, interrupting possible connections in the communications [...]
Komeda -- Binario Le Tigre -- After Dark Is it a hyperacute critical sense or a complete lack of critical sense that leads to judging everything harshly, to watching a brilliant film or listening to a complex and demanding album and thinking it mildly interesting? What changes to cause a reassessment, to allow a three-year-old album or an eight-year-old album to register as what it is rather than what it was seen as needing to be? And why is that, in all the characteristics a work [...]

So London was fun. We saw some sights. Did a few touristy bits. Drank in Clapham. Chilled in Covent Garden. Ate in Leicester Square. And checked out the Gilbert and George exhibition at Tate Modern . Which was kind of ok. I'm not a huge fan of their work. Nor, in truth, am I that art literate, though I try to dabble with an open mind. Anyway, the exhibition was interesting. My tastes leaned more toward the early part of their work. They seemed to be working with stronger ideas. It was engaging. Stimulating. Provocative. [...]
Le Tigre - I'm So Excited (Cover Pointer Sisters) + Fisher - Take Me As I Am (2007 Mix) * Το mix των Le Tigre είναι στα προτυπά των γνωστών skapunkικών διασκευών. Όμως δώστε του μια ευκαιρία...
Aaaaah jag sitter just nu o jobbar på en blandskiva... ja jag vet de jävla plast skivorna förstörde våran syn på musik nu när allt laddas hem o bränns och känslan av att ta tid och sitter o tajma sina 30 minuter på ett 60 band... alla ni conversbärande cheap monday kids med urtvättade band t-shirt (min är en brun refused tröja) känner nog igen detta underbara att sitta och jobba med sina låtar o ge över de till sina vänner som det vore endel av dej själv. ja ja skitsamma jag låter som nån jävla [...]
England's indie taste maker mag NME is throwing a big ol' bash tonight with GBH. Club NME MP3: Fake French - Le Tigre
If you're in the NYC tonight, check out Le Tigre 's Johanna Fateman spinning @ the Hiro Ballroom . There might even be some other famous riot grrls hanging out. If anyone does go, can you ask (and report back) as to what the status of the band is? Don't want to stick 'em in a box, but I'd love to look forward to something new, even other projects.. Back in 2005, Le Tigre hosted an all-night video party on the Australian show Rage . Here's a link to the video playlist [...]

This ain't no Chatty Cathy art film, folks. AT:TM is an overbudgeted cinematic juggernaut jampacked with gratuitously implausible CGI effects and plot holes wide enough to accommodate a fleet of tricked out Hummers. This film has it all: Action! Naz Nomad and The Nightmares – Action Woman (from Give Daddy the Knife, Cindy , 1984) – This is The Damned, posing as a forgotten sixties garage rock act for a one off album of period cover songs. The Litter, a [...]

I figured i'd start this Sunday morning off right with a healthy chunk of remixes that have been festering on this computer for the past couple of months. It's rare that I get a chance to post any music that's electronic related like this, so enjoy these. It amazes me at how rapid the pace of remixes get churned out onto the internet now a days. For a long time I would just turn a deaf ear towards any kind of remixes because the quality of them were so terrible, but this year has brought on [...]

I’ve gone to several festivals recently, but I don’t know why. I never used to go to festivals even though there’s always lots of random shit happening in the Denver Metro area and, despite how much shit I give this town, even Boulder has its fair share of random public screenings, concerts, and largish film festivals. However, it doesn’t have a chili fest. We had to drive 15 minutes out of town for that one. We then consumed many dixie cups of chili and 2 dollar beers. I also met a congressman (he was a dick), and I got into [...]
Last night's Beg Yr Pardon was super fun. It's a great party that all must attend (hint: in two weeks Matt Earfarm is playing host with a great lineup ). I played battle DJ with Jeff K who was a great sport. We decided in the end it was a draw. There wasn't any blood, unfortunately. Instead we danced, drank beers, and debated whether I could get away with Justin Timberlake. And I did. But the real winner of the night seemed to be "Deceptation" by [...]

Whatever happened to Le Tigre, you might be wondering. Well, Playlouder reports that Johanna Fateman has re-opened the Seagull hairdresser's in New York ; the place, apparently, which was the first unisex salon in North America. There are, we're told, parts of the central southern US where the very idea of a unisex salon can still get you the sort of look Terry gave Bob when the Likely Lads went to one in 1970s. music le tigre johanna fateman

Open letter. Dear P-fork: We know, we know, yeah, us, too . (it happens to everyone, kids. Cheer up, Charlie!) But since we know you PFork kids don't really like to dance (something about Indie rock...?), we thought we'd encourage you. Step away from the magazine. NORLY! Do it. Take your clothes off. We don't want to SEE, just do it. (In fact, we really don't want to see.) [...]
