Xiu Xiu

Did you know you were going to shoot off the top of a four year old girl's head And look across her car-seat down into her skull And see into her throat and did you know that her dad would say to you, "Please sir, can I take her body home?" Oh wait, you totally did know......

Did you know you were going to shoot off the top of a four year old girl's head And look across her car-seat down into her skull And see into her throat and did you know that her dad would say to you, "Please sir, can I take her body home?" Oh wait, you totally did know... that that would happen Cuz you're a jock who was too stupid and too greedy And too unmotivated to do anything else but still be The Biggest and still do what other people tell you to do You did it to still be a winner... You shot your grenade launcher into peoples windows and Into the doors of peoples houses But you wanted to shoot it into someone Just to watch them blow up... Why should I care if you get killed?

I just missed the Xiu Xiu concert...the last one in a long time probably, which is why im in a bad mood. (see below) They are still fantastic, and you should check them out if you doint mind experimental noise pop.

Xiu Xiu plays some challenging, experimental indie pop. Some of it is a little too grating for me, but a lot of it is strangely beautiful, and it's all interesting, original stuff. And they're from my home town of San Jose! Back in high school, I wrote a couple of reviews for the bass player's zine. Does that make me cool? Salon's audiofile has an awesome mp3 from their upcoming album, and epitonic has another cool one.

La Foret!! what I've been waiting for from them since Knife Play. If anyone can recreate a war through music it's Xiu Xiu..

constantly pushing the boundaries of what is acceptable in modern rock. Xiu Xiu blends some of the most bizzare sounds, from discordant chimes, to screams of agony to soft cooing. Their music is a mix of dance, ethnic music, and something all it's own. And live shows are simply something to be witnessed.

I just saw them live -- there is no comparison.
