Xiu Xiu: Live at Hopetoun Hotel, Surry Hills, NSW Australia, April 20, 2006.

It took me a long time to understand Xiu Xiu. Between Jamie's howling and the blatant dissonance of the instrumentation, there was not much to love at first listen. However, I stuck to them stubbornly, and after many repeated plays of Fabulous Muscles and La Foret (my two favorites), it became apparent to me. Disagreement is agreement, discord is concord, weirdness is in. Friends, Italians, countrymen, experience Xiu Xiu.
