Xiu Xiu - "Gayle Lynn"
New album's not doing it for me. Too early to say for sure, but it might be my least favorite of there's other than Fag Patrol.

I still can't agree with MatchCut's general preference of this over YFIIP, but I will say that "7/4 (Shoreline)" and "It's All Gonna Break" are better than any track on that album. I love "Ibi..." too.Quoting krazed (view post)

Great post: love for BSP + YFIIP.
Favorite Broken Social Scene song is Cause = Time, although It's All Gonna Break comes rather close.

It's on America's tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
