Lee Ranaldo - 'Xtina As I Knew Her'



Lee Ranaldo, former member of Sonic Youth (Remember them? Yeah, best not too) has recorded a song about Christina. (I'm sure she's thrilled, not.)


"Xtina As I Knew Her” borrows that sly humor typical of Sonic Youth’s lyrics while low-pitched guitars unfurl like a bumpy yet visceral train ride nearing doom metal territory. Ranaldo parallels his change in direction with that of Christina Aguilera, who, after taking on the nickname “Xtina,” drastically changed her image from sweet innocence to that of a sexually-charged woman: “She was just a lonely soldier/ Running with the times and the tides/ Maybe just a little older/ Quite a ways into the night.”
Don't you just love how people how don't know her act like they do?
