Helium - "XXX"

Helium - "XXX": "Darkly humorous, singer/guitarist Mary Timony leaves you to wonder how serious she is when she sings: 'I'm gonna go out on the street and make some money / that was just a joke about the money / you're gonna pay me with your life.' When this EP came out, I remember SPIN making this big (lame) point out of how 'radical' it was that men played in this band, what with Mary singing all of these threatening lyrics towards men (or something). Which is stupid, because the only thing dangerous about this band is the music, not Mary Timony."
