Proposed Earth Day Flag Preceding the mass media's adoption of the "green" movement by almost forty years, Earth Day celebrates and demonstrates support for environmental protection. Now in its 43rd year, the initially proposed date for the internationally-observed holiday was March 21 - the first day of spring in the northern hemisphere - but the established date was chosen when Senator Gaylord Nelson - who later won the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his work - held an environmental teach-in on April 22, 1970. Although there's no officially designated Earth Day Anthem, we've compiled [...]

Kate Nash, 'Girl Talk': Brit Singer Believes the World Needs a Riot Grrl Update
Filed under: News , Exclusive , New Music Mike Coppola, Getty Some folks have been quick to label British musician Kate Nash 's recent leap from bubblegum pop to punk rock as a riot grrrl transformation. And while her latest release Girl Talk may share a message of female empowerment with acts like Bikini Kill and Sleater-Kinney , Nash wouldn't necessarily put that label on her current sound. [...]

Sleater-Kinney Albums From Worst To Best
Sleater-Kinney: the name suggests a joint sociological survey, or perhaps a university residence hall. Turns out it's the Lacey, WA street on which the band held practices. It's a fitting name for a group that spent more than a decade interrogating the nature of being a band. Formed by two Evergreen State University students in the searing heat of the riot grrrl movement, Sleater-Kinney maintained a breakneck pace: releasing seven albums in 10 years, touring worldwide, and providing some of the more intelligent interviews in rock. In a sense, Sleater-Kinney (whose classic lineup consists of drummer [...]

Vinyl Gazing: Sleater-Kinney – One Beat
Sleater-Kinney – One Beat Kill Rock Stars: 2002 So, here’s an album made by a Portland band featuring multiple songs about 9/11 and the lead singer’s premature childbirth. Lyrics include lines like “the president hides while working men rush in and get their knives” and “since when is skepticism un-American!? What’s nice about this trail of red flags, all of which point to the album being an insufferable piece of righteous preachiness, is that its actually kind of a red herring. Sleater-Kinney was a band that made their name writing a strangely delicate kind of [...]
Clean Out The Water. Menomena & Empty Pools, Cargo.
I don't know what this song is. I've never heard it before, and hope to all things supernal I never hear it again, though I think it's Maroon 5. Maroon fucking 5 . That parasitic filth-stain of a band endemic to seemingly everywhere, inclusive of this once commensurately filthy perdition known only as east fucking London. This place once balanced precariously on the bleeding edge, dictating everything that, at the time, would be reckoned in any way à la mode . Shoreditch then threw up fads and fashions for breakfast as its inhabitants may an ashtray tarred in [...]

[Photo courtesy of Tom Choi. See his flickr stream HERE ] Corin Tucker is 39 years old.

Corin may be (by rock standards) "getting older", but she sure is making it look like fun with the Corin Tucker Band , now on their second LP. "Groundhog Day", one of the standout tracks on her band's latest, Kill My [...]
