Le Tigre - From The Desk of Mr. Lady EP

2001
I'm over Johanna Fateman and her indifferent delivery. Sure, she's the lead on "Get Off The Internet", but the only good part is Hannah's shrieked chorus. "Bang! Bang!" is jarring as hell, but I can't argue with it's prescience - police shootings are obviously nothing new, but 14 years after the song's release they are undoubtedly the #1 hot-button social issue on the left. "They Want Us To Make A Symphony Out Of The Sound Of Women Swallowing Their Own Tongues" and "Gone B4 Yr Home" - I get it, men are all pigs, gosh! "Mediocrity Rules" is punky but lives up to its title, so 'yabba dabba dabba dabba dude'. The heavily-edited ending is nicely done though. Wouldn't go to much trouble to listen to any of this one.
