i like em. very nasty and dark but not juvenile. they get my creep on.

 

[It Will Never Last]

I have La Foret downloaded somewhere, think its lurking on my iPod. Is that any good, barely listened to it.

 

[oh shit]

try 'fabulous muscles', i like it best
i think aron knows more than i do about xiu xiu though..

 

[Beak]

yeah, 'i love the valley OH' is a fuckin amazing song, I like a fair bit of the rest of 'Fabulous Muscles' too. Problem is, and I suspect it might be the same with you B, what I don't like of them I REALLY can't stand. One of those burn a good cd-r album out of 3 real albums types.

 

[oh shit]

yes, precisely! they look a bit mental too

 

[Alan Remorse]

meh, they're alright

bit hit n miss

they're no good clean fun

 

[Theseus Mock]

'Suha' on knife play is just beautiful. xiu xiu aren't bad. haven't download la foret yet but i saw them in ny in march, good show.

strange cover of UNDER PRESSURE with Michael Gira (i think?)

 

[La La]

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
is it as good as la foret?

xiu xiu forever.

 

[coast to coast]

Has anyone heard Ian Curtis Wishlist.
That and another one I Broke Up: "This is the worst vacation ever! I am going to cut open your forehead with a roofing shingle!!"

That shits just funny. Never really listened to an album full though. Could be a bit grating I imagine. Must try some time.

 

[Lili Marlene]

I like how Xiu Xiu Larsen managed to turn Prince Charming into such a bog-standard indie song

 

[Archie]

"knife play" is a great album....after that i think their hit and miss, couple a good tunes on each album and then alot of self indulgent shite.

love that tune apistat commander off "a promise"

 

[jimmybreeze]

Crank heart is such a good opener too

Yeah, they're probably my favourite band but even I can admit there is some stuff which just falls flat, think it's the nature of what they're doing though.

You can pre-order Women As Lovers with an extra dvd of videos and live footage from Killrockstars, well you could as of last week, it's limited edition so not sure if any left.

Anyone seen them live? Saw them at the Primavera '06 closing party, they were as intense as you would expect but I was so knackered I'm not sure how much I took in.

 

[barrypeak]

I saw them at this year's kill rock stars showcase at CMJ.
Lasted 3 songs. Horrid, horrid stuff! (Sorry Sean)
Mary Timony was great though. She played some Helium songs.

The Air Force is my fav, surprised nobody else is mentioning it. One of my favourite bands and I think they're improving with each record

i think one of the greatest covers ever is xiu xiu's version of tracy chapman's fast car.

I'd prefer their cover of Joy Division's 'Ceremony'. So what's the consensus on their best album, loads of people seem to think Fabulous Muscles
