Sleater-Kinney: The End

I just found out that my favorite band, Sleater-Kinney is calling it quits. I am not surprised, given that they have talked openly about the trials of staying together as a group for well over a decade. So I just want to say this:

Thank you for your great effort.

Thank you for what you have achieved and written and sang and screamed all these years. Thank you for making me feel cool. Thank you for "One More Hour," one of the all-time best songs to rock out to in your bedroom alone. Thank you for "Modern Girl"--a song I have been nearly obsessed with since my friend Kai put it on a mixed CD for me. Thank you for the entire album of Dig Me Out. Thank you Corin Tucker, for the wiliest voice on the planet; Thank you Carrie Brownstein for some of the greatest post-Clash punk rock songs EVER. Thank you Janet Weiss for being one of the best drummers I have ever had the pleasure of seeing live.

I wish you well.
