If the prospect of a Le Tigre reunion (YES. Kathleen, Johanna, JD—the whole shebang) isn’t exciting enough, prepare to have your mind blown: Christina Aguilera is getting in on the rollerskate jams this time around.
This is not a joke! Pitchfork reports:
“Here’s what we know: According to Perez Hilton and confirmed by their publicist, Le Tigre are working with Christina Aguilera. Yes, all three of them, together. Beyond that, we know nothing about this bizarrely awesome combination. It’s anyone’s guess how Le Tigre’s proudly low-budget racket will mesh with Aguilera’s gazillion-dollar bazooka of a voice.”
We are STOKED! This will surely be amazing, and if anyone is doubting XTina’s feminist prowess, don’t:
Girl, you are so ready.

MEN, “Who Am I To Feel So Free”
JD Samson has been pretty busy post-Le Tigre. She and fellow Le Tigre member Johanna Fateman formed the DJ duo MEN, and she had another band, Hirsute. While both projects were equally exciting, they have recently been combined. Now, MEN includes original Hirsute members Michael O’Neill and Ginger Brookes Takahashi (formerly of The Ballet), with contributions from Fateman and artist Emily Roysdon.
We are digging this new track, so basically, we love MEN. Who knew?!
