I wrote Part One a few months ago, and then never got around to making a Part Two. Blogging tip from Uncle Vinny: Overpromise and Underdeliver, always keeps your readership in frothy fightin’ form.
When thinking about favorite albums, I often end up back at Sleater-Kinney’s completely ass-kicking Dig Me Out, my favorite of all their records and one of my favorites period. It’s one of those albums that has to be played loud or not at all, and my favorite track switch on it is between Dig Me Out and One More Hour, tracks 1 and 2. This album used to give me chills on a hot day; I’d be tapping away quietly on a coding project in grad school with the first song blaring in my headphones, and the little pause between the tracks was completely electrifying. I think some of the excitement has died down over the years, but it still packs a punch.
I was going to provide YouTube links, but… man, I dunno. Sleater Kinney was a lot of fun to see live, but nothing on YouTube captures anything worth sharing. So, do yourself a favor and just go buy the album (or borrow it from me!).
