As promised in the previous update (albeit a little later than anticipated) we’re pleased to launch a super new feature to the site, The Fan Archive.
The Fan Archive serves all your Sleater-Kinney related graphical needs with downloadable desktop wallpapers, LJ icons, avatars, and even more soon to follow! - All free to use.
A thousand thank yous to Mycah for all her help! - If you have anything to contribute, please do get in touch. If you have any suggestions for the future, comments, criticisms, et al, please do feel free to leave a comment or contact us directly. We’re always searching for ways to improve and your feedback is welcomed and appreciated.
I’ve caught up and have added the remaining ThunderAnt captures to the gallery, including captures from the newest short; Pet Haven.
If you’ve yet to view any of the shorts, rectify this by visiting ThunderAnt.com.
A heads up regarding this site, we’ll be launching a new feature in a couple of days so do check back soon!
ThunderAnt:
Carrie will apparently be releasing a book, The Sound of Where You Are according to this blurb I came across on Publishers Weekly:
Ecco’s Matt Weiland has acquired Carrie Brownstein’s The Sound of Where You Are in a North American rights deal with Jud Laghi at LJK Literary Management. Brownstein, founding member of the band Sleater-Kinney and author of NPR’s Monitor Mix blog, will describe the dramatically changing dynamic between music fan and performer, from the birth of the iPod and the death of the record store to the emergence of the “you be the star” culture of American Idol and the ensuing dilution of rock “mystique.” Tentative pub date is early 2011.
Photos from Corin’s solo set at the Reading Frenzy benefit from last week have been uploaded to the gallery. Many thanks to our source for allowing us to host them.
Login/register to the gallery to view.
If any of our visitors were in attendance we would love to hear from you. Reports, photos, setlist, etc would all be appreciated. Please do get in touch.
Some radtastic news for you Portlanders; Corin is set to play a solo set at the Reading Frenzy benefit on March 5 at the Holocene, Portland.
Other acts set to appear, Tu Fawning, Golden Bears, Ms Carrie Brownstein at a screening of ThunderAnt and two “very special” guests that are yet to be announced.
Tickets are available for $8-$20, $8 on the day of show. Proceedings will go towards Reading Frenzy, a local independent press emporium.
