DVD Explores Le Tigre’s Informed Electro-Punknew
Who Took the Bomp? follows feminist electro band Le Tigre (Bikini Kill’s Kathleen Hanna, Johanna Fateman, and gender-bending mustachioed JD Samson, now lead singer of MEN) on their 2004-2005 final tour across four continents and 10 countries after the release of This Island.

Polemics with a Chirpy Venomnew
Despite its superficial gloss, This Island's not a radical departure for Le Tigre. Anyone susceptible to the band's trademark sound -- a cheerful cacophony of Casio chirps, guitar buzz, and handclaps -- can't help but dig it. Also reviewed is Lil Jon's Crunk Juice.

Album Infiltrates and Imbues Pop with Dimensionalitynew
Across 12 tracks, Le Tigre makes like Chicks on Speed to Blondie to J.J. Fad; screechy and preachy to hopscotch hip-hop. However, the buffing of the chaotic lo-fi hiccups makes Le Tigre's staunch missives seem less urgent.
