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.

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.
