Dig Me Out

The Assistant is played by Carrie Brownstein of Slater-Kinney.

Number one, I mean, I got that album, Dig Me Out, almost 30 years ago.

Big crush on Carrie Brownstein.

Not enough to make it through even 10 minutes of Portlandia.

I like her.

I like it.

Fred Armisen cannot... get into that show tell you what i did get into though uh slater kenny's dig me out album but even more than that i would say uh one more hour i think it's the first song in it that is an all-time desert island slice uh one more hour by slater kenny slater kenny slater kenny um and also the album the album cover for that album was an homage to Kink's Controversy, which made it even extra special.

Never really got into anything else they did.

The walking around, Corinne, is like – is very nerdy.

But when we got to Dig Me Out, for me, I was suddenly like – Yes, like we're doing it.

And I was so happy.

I just felt like myself on stage.

OK,

I do have a really specific memory where we were.

It was like early Dig Me Out tour.

And we played like some college like Brown or something.

I kept that.

Um, Sleater-Kinney, Dig Me Out.

I kept that.

Um, uh, Portraits of Bass, self-titled, I kept that, um, there's just, like, a few, like, you know, whether they be because of the experience or whether they be because of, there's no skip tracks, and this was just, like,

Yeah.

Dig Me Out, All Hands, all the sort of albums up through Little Rope.

So I think for fans coming to the show, there'll be something from every era of Slater Kitty.

That's exciting.

You know, we go song to song and try to be deliberate about it, but we definitely have embraced, I think, other songwriting tools in terms of like, oh, maybe I'll write this on piano and then transpose it on guitar, or maybe I'll do the opposite, write a guitar line and then transpose that onto keys.

It just depends.

the sentiment of the song the emotionality of the song and it's you know when you're this many decades into a band you don't want to feel those limitations you don't want to repeat things there's no reason for us to do something that sounds like oh we're now we're just trying to do dig me out again because we did dig me out and i'm very proud of that record but that was 1997 and the thing is we can still play those songs we're never going to write better song than Dig Me Out.

That sounds like Dig Me Out.
