Pitchfork have compiled a list of their favourite 20 releases on Sub Pop to celebrate Sub Pop’s 20th anniversary. Sleater-Kinney’s sole release on Sub Pop, The Woods made the cut:

Sleater-Kinney had nothing left to prove to anyone, save perhaps themselves, when they left longtime home Kill Rock Stars for Sub Pop. The label move seemed more symbolic than anything else, from one Pacific Northwest indie to another, but the record they made with Sub Pop, The Woods, was a radical statement. Complex 10-minute songs, guitar solos, and some of the most brazenly in-the-red production ever set to tape– thanks, Dave Fridmann!– Sleater-Kinney’s seventh album was a conscious break from the band’s past. Even if the end result turned out, sadly, to be an amicable breakup, the disc still stands as a victorious exclamation point, a loud, proud proclamation of punk rock’s undiminished potential. “I think Dave made a record that sounded like what was in our heads,” singer/guitarist Carrie Brownstein told me at the time, “except maybe even more grotesque and wrong!” But rarely has wrong sounded so right.

A whole slew of photos from the current Jicks tour have been uploaded to the gallery with many more to follow. Be sure to log in and browse through the Last Uploads pages and check back for new additions daily.

A rare upcoming appearance for the lucky Oregonians. - Corin Tucker will be making a special “guest appearance” at Blue Giant’s debut show on Friday June 20 at the Wonder Ballroom, Portland, OR.

To those of you who will be attending; ANY feedback, documentation of any kind would be immensely appreciated!

First off, thank you all for the overwhelming response regarding the Live Vault. We appreciate it and we’re glad our efforts were not in vain.

A little late on this, but Carrie is featured in the current Spring issue of Venus Zine in a small piece as one of the best female guitarists of all time. Scans from the issue have been added to the gallery.

And as previously mentioned, captures from the latest ThunderAnt video, Katchenza has also been added to the gallery archive.

Awww jeah. After what seems like a lifetime, we’re pleased and excited to launch a special new feature here at S-K.net, The Live Vault.

The brainchild of our forum’s very own madTIGERman, the Live Vault’s sheer purpose was to compile every Sleater-Kinney song performed live to have available for download. 176 high quality recordings later, I’m sure you’ll agree it’s a mission well accomplished.

For optimized viewing, please ensure you have the latest version of Adobe Flash installed and view through a resolution of 1024+ in Firefox or Safari.

For any questions or comments regarding the The Live Vault, please head on over to its very own thread at the forum. And as always, feedback is always appreciated!

ThunderAnt have a new video titled Katchenza featuring Carrie and Fred as obnoxious restaurant owners answering online comments and complaints. Hilarity ensues.
As per usual, you can find the video at ThunderAnt.com.

Captures from the clip will be added to the gallery shortly. And a heads-up regarding this site; be sure to check back within a few days for some epic updates.

The gallery is back online ready for viewing and new registrations. Much love to Mycah for her assistance. <3
Do let me know if you come across any kinks, and thank you all for alerting/bearing with me!
