Shake your tail!


Sleater-Kinney wrapped up their final east coast tour last night with a show in Washington D.C., leaving just today's performance at Lollapalooza in Chicago, and two farewell concerts in Portland before the band enters the netherword of "indefenite hiatus."
The D.C. show initially had to be rescheduled because the venue almost burned down, but National Public Radio was there to broadcast and preserve the eventual show, which is awesome. You can listen to it here. Turn your headphones up, though -- in true NPR fashion, the mix is a little low.

???

A good half of the Internet seems to be down for no particular reason. Trying to go to any web site is basically a crap-shoot right now, because the odds seem equal that it may or may not exist. Did some very large servers go down somewhere? Was there a natural, Inter-net-destroying-disaster that I am yet unaware of? IS THE INTERNET BEING EATTEN?!!?

These are the mysteries of our age.
