Eric, you are such a charmer! I love this comment and will cherish it. Drunk commenting is totally the best.
I really love the music Xiu Xiu makes so much! I wish I could tolerate dude's voice, but it just sounds like maudlin performance art to me. I listened to "Dear God, I Hate Myself" after I read your tweet about it, and it was so nice except for that voice. Really a bummer! Their cover of "Fast Car" used to be one of my favorite things! So I did try! I'M A VICTIM HERE!
I actually really love Mr. Stewart's voice, but I subscribe to the David Berman way of thinking, e.g. all my favorite singers couldn't sing. But, yeah, the man is a bit overly maudlin, though that's sort of the point with him. Me, I'm okay with it, 'cause I'm okay with someone overdoing it sometimes.
Also I totally missed a slowball talking bout pills and Xiu Xiu by not referencing "I Luv The Valley OH!" THERE'S A PILL AND YOU'VE GOT TO TAKE IT and all that. WHAT.

So if any other band titled their record Dear God, I Hate Myself
I would hate hate hate hate hate hate it
I would think it was some whiny terrible bullshit.
But when Mr. Stewart of the clan Xiu Xiu titles his record that, I FUCKING LOVE IT.
(Also I love the record.)
I don't want that man to ever take a pill in his life, he accomplishes all the fearless cathartic wailing I will never be able to.
(P.S. Drunk livejournal commenting = the best livejournal commenting???)
