    Very different sound. Some Pearl Jam folks have a hard time getting used to Corin's voice.

    I like what I hear though.

    I totally agree w/you!!

    Everyone basis it on Corin's voice, either take it or leave it! I could understand why some people don't like them, but come on, give respect for these women who can write an awesome song!! Have you read their lyrics people?

    ~JUMPERS~
    I spend the afternoon in cars
    I sit in traffic jams for hours
    Don't push me
    I am not OK

    The sky is blue most every day
    The lemons grow like tumors they
    Are tiny suns infused with sour

    Lonely as a cloud
    In the Golden State
    "The coldest winter that I ever saw
    Was the summer that I spent..."

    The only substance is the fog
    And it hides all that has gone wrong
    Can't see a thing
    Inside the maze

    There is a bridge adored and famed
    The Golden spine of engineering
    Who's back is heavy
    With my weight

    Be still this old heart
    Be still this old skin
    Drink your last drink
    Sin your last sin
    Sing your last song
    About the beginning
    Sing your song loud
    So the people can hear
    Let's Go
    Be still this sad day
    Be still this sad year
    Hope your last hope
    Fear you last fear
    Your not the only one
    Let's Go

    My falling shape will draw a line
    Between the blue of sea and sky
    I'm not a bird
    I'm not a plane

    I took the taxi to the gate
    I will not go to school again
    Four seconds was
    The longest wait
    ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~

    I love jumpers. It is possibly my favorite song to come out in 2005 so far. It infects me. Sitting in atlanta traffic sometimes makes you want to find a bridge that might be why :) (just kidding obviously it's not that bad)

    I put the woods in on my way to work and jumpers finishes right as i arrive to work without fail.

    It took me a few listens to get into them too. I started with I wanna be your Joey Ramone. Good fun song to start with.

    From what I gather in this thread, they are playing that one a lot these days. I look forward to hearing it.

    http://www.free-soulseek.com/

    it is kind of like napster and limewire. I got mine for free though, I don't know how it is now. There is a good search engine you can use, if you can't find it when you search, you can always put them on your wishlist, so whenever the name comes up, you will get a list of the songs that are available for download.

    I would have NO idea if it is compatiable w/ipods, since i don't have an ipod player. :/

    BUMP for these girls in rock that aren't afraid to take any chances when it comes to their music!! :D

    They are on the front cover of DIW (Devil In the Woods) indie magazine :)

    I don't know if I posted about this song on this thread, but it is a great song and everyone should listen to it :)

    This song is one powerful song, and to me, i think it is the hard part of breaking up, and going through that awkward transition.

    ~Good Things~
    got this feeling when i heard your name the other day
    couldn't say it, couldn't make it go away
    it's a hard place, can't be friends, we can't be enemies
    it's just too much, feel the weight crushing down on my face

    the hardest part is things already said
    getting better, worse, i can not tell
    why do good things never wanna stay?
    some things you lose, some things you give away

    broken pieces, try to make it good again
    is it worth it, will it make me sick today
    it's a dumb song, but i'll write it anyway
    it's an old mistake, but we always make it, why do we

    the hardest part is things already said
    getting better, worse, i can not tell
    why do good things never wanna stay?
    some things you lose, some things you give away

    this time, it'll be alright
    this time, it'll be okay
    this time, it'll be alright
    this time, it'll be okay

    the hardest part is things already said
    getting better, worse, i can not tell
    why do good things never wanna stay?
    some things you lose, some things you give away
    some things you lose, some things you give away

    Great band! They take chances with their music and it is awesome. Had no idea who they were before I saw them open up for Pearl Jam in 2003. Put on a great show in Charlotte and got me interested. Now I am becoming a big SK fan.

    Right ON markymark550:D I think a lot of us on the forum was exposed to them b/c they opened up for PJ,which I think it is rad!!:)

    Before they opened up for PJ, I only heard one song from working at the college radio station, but man, those girls can kick some SERIOUS ass!!:D

    For all of you S-K fans out there...their new video for "Jumpers" is on myspace.com :cool: I really dig it!! They left Carrie's vocal parts on that song...WOHOOOHO!

    Mine's like that too. I've been listening to The Woods a little more in preparation for the upcoming shows and I liked it to begin with, but I'm liking it even more with each listen.
    I will feel....alive....as long as I'm freeeeeeee...

    Thanks for the heads-up. And yes, I can't wait to see two extremely talented bands on back-to-back nights in Canada.

    To you all haters out there, they are doing something that you aren't, and that is making music on THEIR terms...that is why PJ loves them.:)

    There is a reason why PJ chose Sleater-Kinney to open up for them AGAIN!! :D To all you haters out there...:p respect this band, even if you don't like them, respect them at the shows...honestly, if it was your band, do you really want people to be hating you on stage? I DON'T THINK SO!!!

    To all you S~K lovers, this song is 4 U!!!

    This song says it all!!

    Words + Guitar

    Words + guitar
    I got it words + guitar
    I like it
    Way way too loud
    I got it words + guitar
    I play it all i play it all
    I play it words + guitar
    (can’t take this away from me
    music is the air I breathe)


    Take take the noise in my head
    Take take the noise in my head
    C’mon and turn turn it up
    I wanna turn turn you on
    I play it all I play it all
    I play it words + guitar
    (well you want it or you don’t
    either you’ll come or you won’t
    it’s the thing you’ll never know
    it’s the thing you’ll never own
    rock you till your good and dead
    rock you till there’s nothing left)

    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

    Oooo I LOVE that song Nadia! :D Good pick. ;)

    As for the haters, everyone is entitled to their own opinion...I've just never understood having so much anger...it's one thing to just not care for something but to go out of the way to bash, insult and disrespect is so uncalled for. But ANYways.....


    Can't wait to hear HARVEST MOON from last nights show! :eek: How cool is that!??! :D

    Ok, all this love has forced me to post one of my favs EVER, from the album/in general!! LOOVE THIS SONG TO BITS!!! :D

    THANKS GIRLS!

    *claps along*


    :>TURN IT ON <:

    don't say the word
    if you don't want it done
    don't tell me your name
    if you don't want it sung
    don't come any closer
    that's good enough
    don't go away
    can't stand the thought

    it's too warm
    inside your hands
    it's too hard
    it's too good
    it's just tht when you touched me
    i could not stand up
    i fell into
    i fell down

    why can't you tell me
    is it worth a fight
    do i sound crazy
    well i just might
    why do your words
    have to ring so false
    why do your eyes
    have to change so much

    i still don't understand all the venom towards SK, they are awesome, i mean there really have been only 4 bands that have blown me away live: bowie, PJ, SK and the killers.

    and janet fucking rules, period.
