opened for them called the white stripes and the interplay between the two groups is really something

it gave me a chance to see the really the kind of i think the winning wiggliness and physical

Hunger makes me a modern girl, which if you know Slater Kinney, you know where that title comes from.

First of all, Carrie, thanks so much for being here.

Thanks for having me.
