  • I walked into this 2 years ago, I wish I walked into this 10 years ago

  • shite

  • I often feel like the girl in this video. My life is so routine from day to day and I just want to fly away from it all.

  • I'm extremely tired. I can't type. Thanks for your films. I like Sith a lot, because I believed it. I felt like I was standing there. Neat. Neat. Neat. I'm sorry. It's impossible for me to talk more.

  • You wanted to date me at my dream. You wanted to date me today. You wanted to date me twice. You can't date me, because I'm married. You're too late. Destiny = Time.

  • this song could have been a lot better if they didn't sing it that way :(

  • Janet OWNS.

    Sound is a bit muted on this upload, yeah?

    I count myself very fortunate to have been able to see them live with The Butchies on their All Hands on the Bad One tour. What a band. Incredible.

  • I love it when Carrie does high-kicks. So rock 'n' roll!

  • Far out take a chill pill c**ts

  • i would enjoy this band if the lead vocals would switch with backup, seriously, it would be much better imo.

  • Yet another dyke band in the mould of Tegan and Sara.............

  • @turbotiger82 What the fuck. They sound nothing like Tegan and Sara and came before them anyway. There are a million straight dudebands that all sound the same. Why don't you go complain about those.

  • @turbotiger82 Yet another fucking moron with a computer and the internet. How about you use the internet and find out who came first before making a dumb ass assumption, like assuming they were molded after Tegan and Sara. Your mothers a dyke, the only reason she had you was because she was full from swallowing your brothers and sisters.

  • @turbotiger82 Yet another dumbass with an internet connection. What the fuck is wrong with you? These gals were long before Tegan and Sara ever even started thinking about making music.

  • I've been a fan of this band for a long time. It is a mystery to me why they haven't found more success. The music is amazing. It is great rock music.

  • Is that Justin Long...?

  • Fucking Sucks (and no im not a man)

  • How many of you are watching this because of  "Portlandia"? You have been missing out, yes.

  • kick ass track, love how carrie gets down on it

  • not enough bass in this video..? i mean its hard to hear

  • @mymar86 That's because there isn't any bass. It's Sleater-Kinney, guitars only. The only song I can think of that does have a bass is Dance Song 97.

  • @mauricioa12 yeah i know there isn't a bass instrument, i mean like, perhaps the treble sound is really high in this video, the song sounds clearer/better to me with headphones listening to to cd.

  • @mymar86 there is a bass instrument. One of those guitars is a baritone guitar. That's a guitar made to be played an octave below, in the bass guitars range. Jack Bruce played one in the early days of Cream

  • not enough bass in this video..?

  • Ooooh, i'm going to try that at home.

  • Thank you Sleater-Kinney for putting Portland on the map; what better way to represent our city than an amazing all female rock n roll band!! And now a moment of silence for all of those unfortunate people in the world who don't know what it's like to live in the Pacific NW...

  • @banyani word up, hailing from the 206

  • Too bad Portlandia sucks lol.

  • @Li0nSlicer You wouldn't say that if you were from Portland. I've seen everything on that show happen in real life to some degree.

  • @PatsOwn50 Lol really because I live in portland dickhead.

  • carrie, congrats on portlandia !!!

    good stuff !!

  • I love you Where are we going to where are we going too I love you I love you Where are we going to Where is the mall where is my life I had a job I had a wife Where are we going to What are we going to do... M.S. Morrison
  • @HOTROD213 I think the reason the doors weren't more successful was because Jim Morrison looked like such an androgynous twink.

    I think the reason the Stones weren't more successful was because Mick Jagger looks like a flaming fag.

    You're aware there are plenty of male musicians who look like latent homosexuals and this never hindered their success. It's a double standard. Lot's of women who've had mainstream success are barbie dolls who don't write their own music.

  • OLY riot girls for ever- nothing like passionate fem vocals  RIP IT!!

  • I loved this song. I also love The Strokes. Seems to be all about Marketing and word of mouth. My boyfriend, also a guitarest used to mimic that kick. I thought it was cool. I think the boys just don't get us.

  • @daftrhetoric - You're right. I was just being grumpt becaue the fates took away the beloved S-K. Peace all around.

  • That now you are living that life doesn't mean you'll always be, don't get stuck, don't give up, just search what you would like to do the most and go for it. And it's scary and difficult, but when you start doing it you'll feel so free and proud of yourself

  • Oh, the video is saddening. I my childhood I always knew, that I don't wanna this kind of boring, lonely, urban life with no opportunities and no hopes,no place to spread my wings, spending all my days in fucking office and waiting for the friday when I can finally get drunk alone. And now Im living just like that. No matter how much I love S-K, I always try to avoid this song, don't know why I just watched the bloody video.

  • Great band. I wish I was cool enough to have liked them when they were fresh.

  • is that a ska riddim I hear? This is awesome...

  • i looooove this group

  • This crap quality DOES NOT do this amazing song justice

  • Meh, this is kinda farty to me

  • @alotofcheese76 What does that mean?

  • The gir with the glasses is so cute like a doll!

  • reminds me of "the Organ"

  • ultimate indish lo fi experience

  • carrie has a new band/project called Wild Flag which im sure will b a good listen with her having something to do with it..

  • Free Energy is real and its here! The Oil companies are doing everything in their power to stop these

    information. If you want a Free energy machine do a search in youtube for the LT MAGNET MOTOR , Join the

    revolution!

  • i love them and i love this song they are great and definitely different than any of the other girl bands around

  • @jaymeluce i like britney spears even more than this shit!

  • sleater-kinney and pavement: two bands that couldn't write a bad song.

  • Let us all revel in the fact that we watched the trend setters who rarely get recognized. The "Modern Girl" rockbands should pay their respects.

  • Came out in the LWord!!!! ( no pun intended) =p

    Indie love

  • im really lovin this band of beautiful women they rock

  • blatant & shameless misappropriation of office supplies

  • The music is absolutely amazing and stands on its own, but the crush that I have on Corin Tucker is a nice added bonus.

  • I wonder if Sleater-Kinney will come out to explain whatever circumstances have actually lead to their decision about indefinite hiatus. I"m pretty sure that none of us are going to be able to hit the mark, with any amount of guesswork, no matter how much emotion one may have, behind it. Let these ladies speak for themselves, already.

  • I hate you Sean and your visions of the future

  • Poison Idea > Sleater-Kinney

  • ASSITEM AII =D /watch?v=cMP3Ph02sPk /watch?v=cMP3Ph02sPk /watch?v=cMP3Ph02sPk /watch?v=cMP3Ph02sPk /watch?v=cMP3Ph02sPk /watch?v=cMP3Ph02sPk /watch?v=cMP3Ph02sPk /watch?v=cMP3Ph02sPk /watch?v=cMP3Ph02sPk /watch?v=cMP3Ph02sPk /watch?v=cMP3Ph02sPk /watch?v=cMP3Ph02sPk /watch?v=cMP3Ph02sPk /watch?v=cMP3Ph02sPk
  • I love this song, '3 seconds was the longest wait' is perhaps one of the saddest line in all the songs I've came across.

  • ...it's "4 seconds." :D

  • Amazing song !!

  • awesome song.

  • awesome possum!

    i hadn't seen this video til now.

    they're the greatest band ever

  • i love this song...one of my all-time favorites

  • Great song. kind of reminds me of Joy Division at times.

  • One of the best reasons for watching Sleater-Kinney videos...the drummer wears tight shirts!! haha

  • I don't understand the thumbs downs. I also think that's an awesome part of their videos of course the best part is the music but come on, that drummer is very nice.

  • These are rawkin chicks. Heard about them forever but never really checked em out. I'm sure I've heard them many times on college radio, not knowing who I was hearing. Heard this one recently, wondered who it was, googled "i'm not a bird i'm not a plane" and voila....

  • Song is so sad :\

  • Their songs are so deep and emotional so even the heartless feel something listening to them. I love their songs because they can stir emotions in even the most emotionless people.

    <3 Sleater-Kinney!!!

  • why oh why does sleater kinney rock so hard?!

  • sounds great

  • i love love love sleater-kinney

  • This reminds me of my friends who took a lovers leap together off the 2nd highest bridge in the west over the snake river. Sad..

  • Wow that is sad :''<

  • WOW.

  • This video is dumb. Really? Wings made out of envelopes? Soooo deep.

  • wow you did not get the concept of this video at all.

  • if you don't like it why are you watching it?

  • No girl rocker band can touch these femmes...I LOVE SLEATER-KINNEY SO MUCH! And Miss Tucker's voice!?!? So crazy/awesome!!!!

  • The Strokes?? (smile) Sleater Kinney was better than them. They had no success because they are women. One more time the music industry have killed a good band... it's a rock and roll crime.

  • It's no rock 'n roll fun

    :)

  • @Hdpyou No success? They're one of the most important indie bands of the 90s. WTF are you on about? 

  • @aidanday

    Dont get me wrong i love Sleater-Kinney but how can you say they were one of the most important indie bands of the 90's. when i see indie music now i see very little influence. especially the fact that both Bikini kill and Bratmobile i believe are in the same genre as them just more intense

  • @Hdpyou Sleater-Kinney sold out bigger venues than any indie band I have ever seen. They were about as successful as possible.

  • @Hdpyou

    No.

  • @Hdpyou they had lots of success they just broke up..but carrie's got a new ban/project called wild flag now thats stirrin up

  • @Hdpyou I really like Sleater-Kinney, but I don't think they're in the same class as The Strokes.

  • @daftrhetoric I know, they actually say something. The Strokes sing in cliche'. I like The Strokes but they say nothing.

  • @daftrhetoric No, they are not in the same class as the Strokes. They graduated from that class before the Strokes EXISTED.

  • Comment removed

  • @Hdpyou yes ,the first ive read about them i said aaaaumm!! their girls they must be mellow and shit the i listen to the this specially and they blew my mind !!! some of us suck at prejudicing< is that the real word?

  • @Hdpyou The music industry had nothing to do with it. Corin Tucker had a kid so they broke up. Simple as that. They weren't any less successful than most punk and indie bands. I hate when people find sexism where it doesn't exist.

  • @Hdpyou

    i think them being dumpy looking lesbians was more the reason they weren't more successful than the fact they were women..... lots of women who are NOT dumpy looking lesbians have mainstream success- you do realize that - right???

  • @HOTROD213 Women are the niggers of the world. Do you know that?

  • @Hdpyou - don't jump me for this, but kinda doubtful thats the case... I loved the hell out of "The Woods" album and listen to it nonstop so I started listening to previous albums... honestly, I was pretty disappointed... out of all their CDs it seems to be the only one that has any clear/unique 'hooks' mixed with their jamming... lot of their other albums are like listening to fridge buzz for an hour... so fine, they're better than the Strokes, but they're definitely not catchier as a band...

  • @Hdpyou Mmmm, that might be a factor, but it isn't the only one. Back when the Strokes released their first album, guitar music held about as much mainstream attention as a symphonic concept album for the Mongolian nose flute. The Strokes show up, loud and abrasive and catching the attention of critics who didn't want a top 40 full of Britney knockoffs, so they pushed this one band a whole bunch. And everything that followed on from their lead got similar treatment. There's more, but no space...

  • @Hdpyou They've been very successful.

  • nice song shit vid

  • what a great voice like Corin...damn! simply amazing amazing amazing!

  • sleater kinney is my favorite

  • Still an awesome song!

  • whenever i hear this song, the next day ill be screaming "FOUR SECONDS IS THE LONGEST WAY!!!!" in the hallways at school.

  • Sleater-Kinney help me find myself as a woman in this world...my only hope is that they get back together maybe..I've seen them once...But the band Denali is getting back together (p.s. their reunion show was AMAZING)

  • An indie girl band that doesn't always have to shriek like a flock of banshees. Thank you, Sleater-Kinney for showing them all how it's done!

  • @OptionallySavage .....but still not as good as Veruca Salt, in my opinion.

  • I DO like sleater kinney alittle bit, but i wish Corin Tucker had stayed in Heavens to betsy longer.

  • yes yes YES! I love H2B...I pretty much collected every song and was able to put them on my I-pod :)

  • holy shit the words in the last verse are so brilliant and telling... wow.

  • Even the big fat punks like em

  • my fav song

  • One of my favorite drummers ever, without a doubt.

  • "be still this old heart,

    be still this old skin"

    ...LOVE LOVE LOVE them!!

    I never get the chance to see them live :(

  • I'll sometimes Blare all hands on the bad one out the window. The Indians make funny faces. (Dots, not the Feathers)

  • I think I'm the only guy on the planet who likes Sleater-Kinney.

  • no YOur not, I like sleater-Kinney and been to  2 Shows.

  • lots of guys likes sleater-kinney, i am definitely one of them.

  • i'm a guy - and i like them !

  • Apparently, ONLY guys like Sleater-Kinney

  • Not true.

  • I know. The comment was intended for comedic purposes but loses what little value it had when not displayed in it's proper context.

  • Oh.Sorry,then.

  • missed

    sleater kinney is missed

  • I love this song..and the video is amazing very very cooool *.*

    I love u girlss

  • <333

  • i love them ...

  • i love Sleater-Kinney is one best group in the planet ... really.

  • good stuff

  • this reminds me so much of my job....

  • i cant get enough of this song :)

  • vinyls are great but you cant play it everywhere you go

    i think snobs are way more annoying...theres nothing wrong with honesty

  • I'm just not a fan of music being so introverted , there's nice snobs and then there are snobs I guess...

  • i can see that....too bad i cant carry a ghetto blaster everywhere i go i would if i could....and turn the volume up

    wow....and that would be extroverted

    ipod headphones are annoying they always get tangled im waiting for a wireless

    im not that introverted about music I listen too I have a lastfm account linked to my ipod and it shows what I am listening to Im proud of being open minded and eclectic in my music taste...and im too old to care what anyone else thinks about it...lol

  • GEEZ SELF PITY TO MUSIC

  • i love this band but honestly corrines voice gets a tad annoying after a while....but i usually overlook it cuz they rock its only when my ipod keeps playing the same 3 songs of theres even though i have alot of there songs....its odd

  • you know what's annoying? iPods...ugh. Got their first album on vinyl (one of my first), it's the kind of record you simply don't want to end.

  • Franz Ferdinand is in no way 1 of my favorite bands, but if you want to talk "mass produced" look at any band in quite possible one of the most useless genres ever (riot grrl, yeah it's laughable) and you'll see the same song topics and same bad music over and over.

    No amount of symbolism can make up for being awful musicians.

    40 feet by Franz Ferdinand however is one the more unique songs i've ever heard and better than anything Sleater-Kinney ever did or wished they could have produced.

  • real riot grrl bands r good, like bratmobile not sleaterkinney

  • Good riddance. The "edgey" girl power genre is completely awful anyways. Not to mention that even for indie, they're just bad at their instruments with little to no stage presence in live videos or even for this

    It's not that I have anything against girl singers or musicians, i've always liked Rilo Kiley, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Grand Ole Party, but their voices are just annoying to listen to.

    I also might just be mad because someone tried to call Franz Ferdinand shitty in comparison to this

  • You're just plain wrong mate. Franz Ferdinand are a mass-produced, bland little bastards with no feeling in their songs. Listen to the tone of her voice as she sings. Can't you hear how it mirrors the mundanity of work life at the start, then the freedom found by suicide in the last verse. Learn about existentialism, and this will blow you away.

  • I like the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs, but you think Franz Ferdiland is better than Sleater-Kinney? Wow, you're music tastes suck. Enjoy your stay.

  • yeah franz ferdinand are a great band. but i also love Sleater-Kinney. I don't like thinking that of them as better than each other. I like both separately.

  • carrie is a fucking guitar go

  • sleater kinney are the FUCKING bomb. rest in peace SK. No one did grrrrl rock better

  • "don't you wanna feel it inside?  they say that it feels so nice. all girls should have a real man. should i buy it? i don't wanna!" haha.

  • this band rocks my world!!!!! these women are amazing!!!!! grygazol can suck my balls!!!!!!! what about the ramones you fuckin dickhead, they were playin' the same chords, r they idiots too???? what a jackass you are!!!!!!!

  • Good shit!

    Anyone more than me who thinks the singer is hot like hell!?

  • i don't get why do people get so worked up about negative comments on youtube, this video could have no stars and all negative comments and i will still love this song and sleater-kinney.

  • Its not about the amount of difficulty you stupid fuck. Its about its not about what other people label Sleater Kinney. It has alot more music to it than most and that they are a 1-dimensional band that has only one sound makes them that much better. gg Gyrgazol

  • I just love this song. Arent they broken up though?

  • yes they are

  • I'm not an expert in music, I can only say that song sounds good to me or that it doesn't. I don't know if they are "edgy" but I know that they sound very good to me. I love Sleater-Kinney!

    P.S. People in USA are lucy ;)

  • Okay..."Entertain" was more what I was expecting from this band. Even "You're No Rock N' Roll Fun" would've met my expectations a bit. Plus they show a LOT more talent than is shown on this.

    This song and "Modern Girl" don't really fit the "edgy" label they've received. They're too soft or basic to ever be considered edgy.

  • haha, i answered the other one before reading this one..so disregard the redundancies.

  • This and 'modern girl' are both from The Woods, which was a bit of a different sound for them, so maybe you'd prefer their earlier stuff. Check out the song 'one beat' if you so desire. I am pretty fond of most of their stuff though, so, biased :P

  • Esta banda suena muy bien...buena mezcla entre batería y guitarras mejor que muchas bandas de hombres hoy en día...y ese solo de guitarra me recuerdan los mejor tiempos del rock and roll ...

  • write a song about the beginning write it out loud so the people can hear it!!!!

  • Anyone know what this song is REALLY about?

    A girl committed suicide off the Golden Gate bridge, apparently it takes 4 seconds from the time you jump until you hit the water and die.

    They made this as a tribute to her.

    Even if you think the song sucks,

    And the chords are bad,

    And they aren't 'edgy' think about what the SONG is ABOUT, and maybe then, you can keep your stupid ass, ignorant comments to yourself?

    Good.

  • i knew that

  • I've heard a lot of hype and good reviews for this band, but this is the first time I've actually heard them.

    This was pretty disappointing. Pretty rudimentary chords (repeated ad nauseum) and those two should never try to sing at the same time. They had no harmony at all and it really sounded bad. The one who looked like an office secretary (on the right side of the video, light brown hair) should probably not do any more singing for the band. The other one had a very pretty voice, though.

  • On a side note, using the envelope windows to make a set of wings was a pretty cool concept. The finished product looked great!

  • Lucky for you they've split up!!

  • Oh, then I suppose that you are just about the king/queen of music, huh? I suppose that you can sing better than anyone and play guitar better than Hendrix can. If you are so frickin' good then why don't you tell the me what tuning they were using to play this song that you tried to blast to the earth with your petty criticism that show that you simply cannot handle any music with an edge sharper than Billy Joel's. I cannot wait until your on the business end of other peoples ass lancing words

  • vegitar --

    I didn't claim to be. I never said I could sing or perform better than them.

    This isn't edgy. Edgier than Billy Joel, yes. Edgier than rock bands they're competing against, a definite NO. So are they aiming for the Adult Contemporary charts?

    This is why I was disappointed. I kept hearing how edgy they were. But they sound more like Wilson Phillips (vocally), which is the EPITOME of edginess, right?

    Any idiot can sit there and pluck the same string over and over again.

  • you should know that rock music isn't always about skill, its about style. actually, i would argue that most art is that way.

  • But there's no style to this. There's no EFFORT to this. Maybe this was just a bad example to listen to.

    I'm not saying that people shouldn't like this. Everyone can like what they want. People can also DISLIKE what they want to.

    I just can't believe that a group as acclaimed as this one ended up being so basic. Bad singing isn't edgy. Pulling one string isn't edgy. Even singing about suicide or death isn't particularly edgy.

    In my opinion, the hype was unwarranted.

  • i don't think they are hyped up. especially now they are practically ignored, at least from a popular music standpoint. i actually prefer the other vocalist fyi. you are fixated on this edgy bit. i wouldn't call them edgy either, but that doesn't make them bad or basic. i think people like them because they are genuine, no frills, rocker chicks..which is few and far between.

    IMO to say there is no effort is an exaggeration. for rock music to SEEM effortless is a good thing.

  • Dear Grygazol,

    Please shut the fuck up. Based on your favorites you enjoy Rammstein, Franz Ferdinand, and Hootie & The Blowfish among other shitty acts.

    So don't talk about bands not having style or effort when your favorites are filled with generic band inndie and stuff no one really liked in the 90s.

    Thanks.

  • he he he.this is shit.

  • that goldarn singer is one grating motherfucker.this really is shit. admit it.
