432. "I Wanna Be Yr Joey Ramone" Sleater-Kinney
"I Wanna Be Yr Joey Ramone"
Sleater-Kinney
Call The Doctor
1996
One of the most annoying things about our dumb new millennium is people dividing themselves into Team This or Team That. Girls who will never have a meaningful relationship identify themselves as "Team Edward" or "Team Other Guy". Girls who look up to girls who will never have a meaningful relationship and who miss the point of things completely go with "Team Peeta" or "Team Gale". It started with middle aged women injecting themselves into celebrities' lives with "Team Jen" or Team Angie", and it really needs to end. (The male equivalent is sports fans who refer to the fan base they belong to as "___ Nation". There is no Browns Nation. Only people in Cleveland like the Browns. Just quit it.)
So anyways for straight male rock music fans 1996-2005 or so there probably was a ridiculous Team divide, but everyone was too busy at WTO protests to talk much about it.
Sleater-Kinney: Team Corin or Team Carrie?
Not gonna lie, I was def Team Corin. She sounded like a goat when she got to rockin', and she was kinda cute to boot.
Well, that was only because the show "Portlandia" did not exist at that time. A show that combines sketch comedy and makes fun of hipsters? I was into it way before you, by the way. I was putting birds on things before you even knew what IFC was.
So now I'm Team Carrie. At least until Janet Weiss writes a book about baseball or something.
