My friends don't understand why I never got into Le Tigre since I was always a big Bikini Kill fan (I have the singles record player tattoo'ed on my arm!) but they are totally different bands & no matter how many "omg, whatevs" I get, I just can't get into Le Tigre. However, Kathleen Hanna's solo project, Julie Ruin was a whole other story! I was working my first record store job (Wax Trax in Denver) right after high school when this came out (1998) & I was immediately in love. So when I heard (late, I know) that Kathleen would be putting out a new record, with a full band (including Kathi Wilcox of BK) under the name The Julie Ruin I was over the moon excited!

Julie Ruin was fabulous. I still listen to a lot of the songs off that album. I love that she's bringing that project back.
I love the Julie Ruin record, one of my favs of all time!!
