timsimmons Posted July 1, 2019 Author Share Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) Devastating loss for the band Kinda weird this happens just before they go on tour to support a brand new album. Edited July 1, 2019 by timsimmons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds weird to say given Corin and Carrie's talent, but I'm not sure if they'll be able to continue as Sleater-Kinney after this.

Moglog Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 The whole situation is weird and such a bummer. Way less excited for this album and especially tour now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fondfarewell Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 So weird that she’d drop this after the album is ready to go and tour on sale. Very skeptical that this is the full story, as it would be supremely shitty of her to leave the band scrambling for a replacement and fans without a key part of SK for a tour with tickets already sold just because of the “new” direction (which presumably would have been apparent since they started writing and recording this record many months ago). There has to be a “better” reason she didn’t want to see out the tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted July 1, 2019 Author Share Posted July 1, 2019 It's possible that she thought it would get worked out and its evident now, she couldn't come around to the new direction. And rather than fuck the band by bailing before the tour or during, that she quit now and give them ample time to find a replacement.

pepperonigin Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Must've been a pretty big blowout to leave at this specific point in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mintplusplus Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I imagine each new round of the process (writing, recording, touring) introduces an opportunity to eject one's self as neatly as possible given the situation. I'd take her word that it's a creative difference and not something scandalous. The new re-brand is pretty bold and extends beyond the music into the visual elements of the band members themselves (or so it seems from some live videos I watched) and I can see how not everyone might have the energy and desire to take on that kind of theatrical/visual duty.

unknown pleasures Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I guess we’ll all just have to wait for answers until this gets investigated further on Portlandia... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kramer73 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I like the color, but I don't really want to join VMP to get it. https://app.vinylmeplease.com/essentials/vol-80-sleater-kinney-center-won-t-hold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick69 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 What's the latest I can join the club and still get this? I still have the option to join using the 1-month plan, which is cool. It'd be great if I can listen to the record first and then decide if I want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewberinger Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 so the 180g black and VMP variant come in a gatefold and the split variant is just a single sleeve I guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted August 5, 2019 Author Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) This says gatefold for the split and the 180g black https://sleaterkinney.merchtable.com/artists/sleater-kinney/sleater-kinney-the-center-wont-hold-black-and-cream-vinyl-lp-plus-digital-album Looks like the VMP version just has the red vinyl and the VMP foil stamp on the gatefold. This version seems to be the only one with a different sleeve. looks like the tracks are "hand written" instead of type. https://sleaterkinney.merchtable.com/artists/sleater-kinney/the-center-wont-hold-super-bundle Edited August 5, 2019 by timsimmons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldKentuckyShark Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 So despite almost paying $30 for an LP, no digital download for the LP. If any of you happen to get one with their split version, would you be so kind as to share it with me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

museummouth Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Should’ve just called it Sleater Kinney and St. Vincent. Wow her influence over their sound is overwhelming. I see why Janet left now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
