August 10, 2002 Oldish News, but Exciting Nonetheless One Beat is now available through mailorder, which beats waiting until August 20th to get the album elsewhere. Go to buyolympia to get it.

April 4, 2002 Sleater-Kinney in the Studio From the Kill Rock Stars mailing list: Sleater-Kinney in the studio! SK just finished up recording their latest and are working on mixing now. 3 songs were recorded in Janet's house! No title yet, but this album is due in August.... |
March 11, 2002 Show Date March 2002 16 - Los Angeles, CA @ All Tomorrow's Parties |
February 28, 2002 Lyrics It was pointed out to me that Lora's Song was not up in the lyrics section, and I realized that Slow Song was also missing. It seems like no one has those lyrics, anywhere, or they have very incomplete ones. So I listened and transcribed what I heard. Because I did this, I have to say, I pity you. I have a clinical tendency to misunderstand lyrics. |

February 17, 2002 National Public Radio Janet lists her Top 5 Most Influencial bands in an NPR segment. Her list, and a link to the NPR segment is here. |
January 26, 2002 Good News Read this. |
Good Articles Go to the articles section of the site to find three new articles: artiles on the San Francisco shows from the San Francisco Gate and the San Francisco Chronicle. |
January 16, 2002 SK Show Thanks to my affiliate, I have been able to hear some things about the SK show in San Francisco. Good news #1: It was good show. Good news #2: New songs were played! Excellent news. I had pretty much assumed that they were going to break up or just never release anything again. Setlist: Call the Doctor The Drama You've Been Craving Dig Me Out Not What You Want Words and Guitar Be Yr Mama Anonymous Stay Where You Are Start Together End of You Burn, Don't Freeze! (And some new songs) One Song For You Ballad of a Ladyman Youth Decay You're No Rock n Roll Fun |
January 15, 2002 It all makes sense now There are not two SK shows on January 15th. That was a mistake on the KRS webpage. Instead, the second "15th" show is on January 16th. |
December 6, 2001 SanFran, again? January 2002 15 - San Francisco, CA @ Great American Music Hall |
November 30, 2001 Ms. Love In this NME interview, Courtney mentioned Sleater-Kinney: "Ask a guy in a band. Sometimes the leaders go do their Jason Pierce thing where the leaders fly first class and the band takes the coach. I'm not that sort of leader and I never will be, but I am the leader. Yes, I like the Sleater-Kinney records, but where do they stand against Oasis? Radiohead? Janet Weiss from SK told me, 'Not everyone wants to be big like you. You're too ambitious - not all of us want world domination". I thought that was valid, but then I was told she comes from a wealthy family, so maybe she has the room to say that." Most of the interview really has nothing to do with SK, but I thought it was interesting to see them mentioned. |
November 27, 2001 Photographic Fun! There are so many live photos! Go go go go! Check out the photograph section of the site! |
November 26, 2001 More Musical Fun Bratmobile is a very fun band, and Indiedarlings is now affiliated (for lack of a better term) with this very cool site. It's all about eating toothpaste. yum. |
November 24, 2001 Another Show Date Added January 2002 15 - San Francisco, CA @ Great American Music Hall |
November 20, 2001 Sleater-Kinney Shows! December 2001 14 - Seattle, WA @ Showbox (21+) 15 - Seattle, WA @ Showbox (all ages) January 2002 11 - Portland, OR @ Crystal Ballroom 14 - San Francisco, CA @ Great American Music Hall I got this info from Kill Rock Star's tour page thanks to a little tip. I am slow. |
October 17, 2001 Took Some Tests, Then Worked On the Site I have finally gotten around to working on the site. The discography is up, and there is a new forum that you can go to. ;) I need to finish putting the pictures up, work on audio, and get some more articles on here. Just a few things... |
October 11, 2001 Articles
I put up six articles today, and I have at least thirty others...so it may take awhile before they are all available. And I should probably work on the main page. |
October 10, 2001 Lyrics
I had a very bad morning. Nevertheless, I got the lyrics to all of Sleater-Kinney's albums up. I also plan on putting some for songs like "By the Time You're Twenty-Five," but I either need to find them online or wait until my CD's come from the US. |
October 9, 2001 A Bit of Progress
I finished typing up a brief biography of the band. It isn't very detailed, but all the basic information about Sleater-Kinney is there. |
October 8, 2001 The Site Is Still Embryonic
Technically, the site is not really open to the public yet. No one even knows that it exists. But I am working on it, and I have managed to get one article up. What a big accomplishment. More will come. |
