FREE SLEATER-KINNEYS DIG ME OUT PDF Jovana Babovic | 152 pages | 19 May 2016 | Bloomsbury Publishing PLC | 9781628929768 | English | New York, United States Sleater-Kinney : Dig Me Out – Treble Janet Weiss brought some serious talent with her when she joined Sleater-Kinney, but her suggestion to use The Kink Kontroversy as the template for the cover of Dig Me Out was a stroke of genius. As a self-admitted bass whore, I always listen for a tangible bottom in any genre, and until Sleater-Kinney, I always believed that rock without a bass player was an impossibility on the level of trying to fuck George Costanza after his post-dip-in-the-pool shrinkage. As Carrie Brownstein explained in her memoir Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girlthe vocal stretch was facilitated by an unusual approach to guitar tuning, one that also served to firm up the bottom:. In Sleater-Kinneys Dig Me Out to Betsy, Corin had always tuned her guitar to her own voice. So it was completely arbitrary that when she plugged into a tuner one day in an attempt to coordinate our tuning, her guitar happened to be in C-sharp. We never thought to alter it. The tuning also forced Corin to sing differently—it pushed her into her higher registers, into a wailing, the outer edges. Brownstein, Carrie. Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl pp. Penguin Publishing Group. Kindle Edition. All quotes below from the Sleater-Kinneys Dig Me Out. So—you have a stripped-down chord with one set of notes or a simple arpeggioa second guitar playing either made-up chords or arpeggiated notes and equally important a singer providing the Sleater-Kinneys Dig Me Out, all conspiring to create tension. The stripped-down chords serve a dual purpose: sometimes they create tension through half-step moves; other times they serve as a basic foundation for the deviations created by the second guitar and singer. Carrie further contributes to tension throughout the song by playing Sleater-Kinneys Dig Me Out notes that may be in the key of the chord in question but not in the chord itself sticking to the B-note when the chord pattern as moved on to C 5, for example. Both Carrie on guitar and Corin on vocals make frequent use of the tension inherent in the 7th note, a half-step away from the major chord root. The tension becomes almost overwhelming in the bridge, where the chords descend by half-steps, Carrie consistently takes advantage of the missing third to wreak havoc on the expected chord content even shifting to the minor key in the initial descent and Corin Sleater-Kinneys Dig Me Out on sticking to the F granted by the opening B5 as the first note in the duplet two-note series even when that note has no business being there according to the laws of music. The rhythm also alternates between single and double-time, and the sheer speed of the transition would likely befuddle most drummers. Awkwardly enough, Corin Tucker wrote the song about her breakup with Carrie Brownstein. Sleater-Kinneys Dig Me Out in love with anyone always entails risk, but falling in love with a person of the same sex multiplies that risk. First, both parties have to overcome the social programming that stigmatizes homosexual relationships. She puts words to those feelings in the awkwardly-constructed phrases of a break-up, uncomfortably combining resolve and loss:. As Carrie shifts from riff to double-time rhythmic support in the two-line bridge, we hear Corin beginning to face the loss as she recalls the emotional memory of the connection—the Sleater-Kinneys Dig Me Out form of intimacy expressed through deep eye contact:. That transition is one great rock-and-roll moment:. Kudos again to Janet Weiss, whose innate sense of compositional structure tells her exactly when to hold back and when to let it fucking rip. Go for it, sister! The music is more akin to the punk you hear on Call the Doctorbut here the bottom fails to make an appearance to give the song some grounding. The juxtaposition of quirky and raw power proves to be quite a pleasurable listening experience, each mode serving to strengthen the impact of the other. I dream of quiet songs I hear the silky sounds Hush, hush and rock Oh give me pretty song Oh let me have that sound Tonight. Those basics have been grounded in rock mythology almost from its inception, as the picture of Elvis singing with all his might while holding that big fat acoustic guitar on the cover of his first album so beautifully demonstrates. Dum dum dee dee dee dum dum dee dum do All the little babies go oh oh I want to Dum dum dee dee dee dum dum dee dum yeah Rock the little babies with one two three. Are you hungry? Did you eat before the show? Ricky must be playing at the sock hop tonight! The role of a woman onstage is often indistinct from her role offstage—pleasing, appeasing, striking some balance between larger-than-life and iconic with approachable, likable, and down-to-earth, the fans like gaping mouths, hungry for more of you. Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl p. But while I think Carrie was painting with too broad a brush, the expectation of women to be caretakers is baked into our cultural norms, and it remains something that women still have to deal with. Corin is reacting to the modern low-grade fever that never seems to go away. In keeping with the enormity of the angst attached to such a situation, the band expresses the depth of the frustration by leaving it all on the playing field. In addition to the sheer power of the song, I love the way Janet Weiss handles the cymbals, giving us a beautiful balance between shimmer and crash. The music provides an effective backdrop for the internal monologue captured in the lyrics, where the narrator fantasizes about their female celebrity crush. Corin jumps straight to the point in the first verse, where she Sleater-Kinneys Dig Me Out to enlighten her partner on the deleterious effects of self re-invention:. Oh, the layers and layers we create to avoid unmasking our true feelings! It is one desire Burning hot and bright It could fill the sky It could fill me up. The music supports the duality presented in the song, with the rhythm choppier in the verses and hard-driving in the chorus. Chalk up my commentary to intensely personal critical bias and leave it at that. Sleater-Kinney has continued to produce critically-acclaimed albums over the years, each Sleater-Kinneys Dig Me Out another step in their musical Sleater-Kinneys Dig Me Out. Apparently, their recent collaboration with St. Vincent took things a bit too Sleater-Kinneys Dig Me Out for Janet Weiss, who left the band last year. I love LOVE this band, this album, and this review. Like Liked by 1 person. Like Like. You are commenting using your WordPress. You are commenting using your Google account.
