a ten-year break and sleater-kinney is back with a new album. secretive. was that a decision you made? i feel like a lot of bands, when they have reunions, they will announce it ahead of time. and you kind of just didn't do that. >> yeah. you know, i think that it's okay to let people be excited. you know when you get punched in the stomach, you're like, "oh, i have to be excited." but we didn't want to do that. sometimes people hit you over the head with like, we're coming back with a reunion! we just thought -- i mean, first of all, we weren't sure that we wanted to do a reunion tour. we didn't want to couch it like that. we wanted to make a record. then we didn't know what the record was going to sound like. so we kind of waited until we were certain that we were going to put out something we that love. >> seth: that's great. well, it sounds great. i'm really excited. you're going to come back in february, the band, and you're going to play here. so i can't wait for that as well. carrie brownstein everyone. sleater-kinney's new album is in st

[ laughter ] >> jimmy: that's even weirder. >> yeah. >> jimmy: do you still have the pin? >> i do. i have all three. because it was every member of the band. >> jimmy: that's pretty cool man. awesome. and then you guys became friends or did you think that you were going to do comedy together? >> i think pretty instantly we became friends. >> jimmy: did you want to do a a musical? like a jointed, make it do a a band thing together? do a music thing together? because i know

. >> public speaker: >> interpreter: my name is kinney. i live across the street from the proposed shop. everyday going to and from work i pass by the two existing cannabis clubs. i actually witnessed that there are people who have bought things from the shops ancome out and resell to others. i can understand i have relatives that need to use marijuana medicinally. i do not oppose the medicinal use of marijuana. there are already two shops there and i think it is quite sufficient. as a mother i really hope that my children can grow up in a nice and calm neighborhood. if i cannot stop the openings of shops in the neighborhood and my kid has to grow up in the neighborhood, i feel that i have really short changed my kid. so, because of that i really oppose. >> next speaker, please. >> public speaker: >> interpreter: that's my name. i have been living in this community for almost two decades. 2 decades. everyday i pass by mission street. and i see a lot of people there using marijuana. i feel very unsafe. there are already two open. why do the

john kinney around us out here? >> i will turn out to be redundant and i apologize for my voice. a little laryngitis. i think many people listened and saw and read what the president announced and heard, saw and read what they wanted. they didn't necessarily listen to what he said or how he said it nor did they listen to the cuban response. if you look at the optics president obama wore a dark suit stood at a podium spoke for 15 minutes am what if he wanted to do to the cuban people for the cuban people and with the cuban people. president castro spoke for three minutes sitting at a table wearing a military uniform. they still feel they are under attack and many of them still feel there are war wounds. cuba is only going to permit what it believes it can control. it's not a criticism, just a fact. one of the challenges is missing the belief that somehow cuba is due by 90 miles south of key west florida and archipelago at 11.3 million people that has so much money flowing and waiting for the currents to push it north. cuba develops its trade relationships not solely based on cost
