Red Mosquito

Not a fan of the song, performance, or her hair.

Album release is being delayed. But new single is out today.

It's the best song they've ever done.

Strong endorsement. I love it!

New release date: July 17th.

They have officially changed their name to: The Chicks.

A new song/video is available on their website: http://thechicks.com/

It's my favorite of the new songs. Mostly because it fully realizes the best of what a Jack Antonoff/Chicks collaboration should be. I love that Marnie and Emily both get fantastic solos in this. It's like each Chick gets to have a "voice" in this, and the other two tracks are almost too Natalie/Jack forward. This feels like a great balance.

I was just coming to post about the name change.

The South(ern US states) are so fkn CANCELLED you guys.

Secession is a matter of time. GtFO!

I applaud them (and Lady Antebellum) for making this move so quickly when it very recently came to light that the names had historically racist undertones. It’s too bad nobody knew about this 20 years ago and could have prevented it from happening in the first place.

Lol exactly. They are gonna have to drop the "chicks", too.

Just "The"

Are you being sarcastic? I can't tell anymore.

I post how I want, when I want, Burt. The rest is up to you.

What a stupid fucking name.

I fucked up the merge and I have no idea how. I was going to fix it but I didn't want Bammer to accuse me of doing some weird nefarious shit so I left it last night.

Also it was late when I noticed.

Tell me if you think this one sounds too far fetched: Changing someone else’s thread title without their permission

"Come for the comeup­pance, stay for the vulnerability." Might be my favorite one-line review of the new record that I've read so far.

Can't wait for tomorrow, y'all!

Also, this bit from that same Variety review is great:

"Rather than impose an excess of ear candy (although it’s welcome on the few occasions in which it comes), Antonoff knew what he had on his hands here: an album in which each new incendiary lyrical moment seems to top the last, before grievance gives way to beautiful grief. Candor, take them away."
