So I just got the Nina Simone cover album in the mail today, and WOW, I must confess that I have not enjoyed a Xiu Xiu record this much since Women. This album has definitely re-confirmed that Jaime is still at the top of his game and now I can't wait for the new album and I going to pre order it after I type this out. The very out there drums by Ches Smith it also so amazing as is all the sax action that is going on. Thank thank thank thank thank you Jaime!

This album is what actually got me into Xiu Xiu. I had known of them for 3-4 years, but was turned off by whatever 1 song I must have listened to. Somewhere along the line (maybe a year before NINA), Nina Simone came into my life and then I heard about NINA and don't smoke in bed floored me so I pre-ordered it. I got it, fell in love. I am a huge jazz guy and the percussion and sax are INCREDIBLE. the worst part is Jamie's deliveries, which still are pretty good. From this covers album I started delving around, knife play->angel guts->women->dear god, etcc. Lots of jumping around. But yeah, damn, good covers album.
Hi I just registered so I have a place to talk about my now-favorite obsession everyone!

To be perfectly honest, I couldn't really get into it - I appreciated aspects of it, but it just didn't really speak to me at the time. then again, I think I only really gave it one listen because I received a couple tracks for the music video around the same time, so I was more focused on working on that and some projects at work & school... I should probably give it another listen
