Lucky Cloud, Your Sky

Carrie Brownstein, once — and hopefully future? — shred doctor for Sleater-Kinney has written a wonderful little review of Wii Music for Slate Magazine (which, by the way, is probably the coolest pairing since Hall and Oates). I recommend reading it. It’s refreshing to read a review written with a complete lack of pretense — I’m looking at you, Pitchforkmedia — in a simple, friendly style. Not that this is a review of the latest Scott Walker, but you catch my point. The whole piece has the tone of talking to a friend, though admittedly a friend who was in a seminal indie rock group and is Fred Armison’s other half in a comedy duo.

Which is all to say, it makes me wish that we were buds. Also, I now officially have a little crush on her. Add her to the list of well-spoken musicians with blogs that are worth reading (Darnielle being the other one that I can think of), as well as to the list of cute girls who can also play the guitar better than you imagined possible (Marnie Stern!).

Also, check out her review of Rock Band.
