last week, in atlanta: sleater-kinney at the variety playhouse - great show, they played most of their new album, and some older stuff... they rocked, of course - they're excellent musicians, the set was tight, they clearly enjoy what they do, and seemed like totally cool, down to earth people, with none of the indie-rockstar pretention you get from some (even lesser-known) bands. i've heard people say that sleater-kinney may be the best rock band going right now, and tonight, i'm prepared to believe it. the whole experience only served to strengthen my long-standing crush on singer/guitarist carrie brownstein, who is just incredibly ... sexy, for lack of a better term. she does that girl guitarist thing with her hips, and she plays, sings and speaks in a way that just seems so smart and self-assured. *sigh*
