[edit] Unfounded statements

Lot's of unfounded statements in this article. Can anyone verify them?

Tons of bullshit on this page.

[edit] Freddy Ruppert

Following accusations need citations. The upload in question doesn't appear to be on Youtube and, if it is, a link should be provided:

"It was leaked by Freddy Ruppert of This Song Is A Mess But So Am I as a retaliation/ art project. According to Ruppert, Jamie Stewart had burned a copy of his latest CD "Marble Mouth" for a friend. The upload was filmed and released on Youtube as a documentaion."

Until someone can show a link to the Youtube video or any solid reference to Ruppert's retaliation, this shouldn't be in the article.


[edit] Theory

"Much of Xiu Xiu's symbolism is derived by radical leftist politics and rigorous visual theory along the lines of Barthes, Deleuze, Guatarri, and Foucault."

Does anyone have any evidence of this? I haven't noticed this in any of their previous albums.

[edit] The Onion

Can someone please post a link to this Onion article on Xiu Xiu's The Air Force?

This seems to be a total load of bullshit. There is no Onion article, neither The Onion nor the AV Club. Also, the tone of this crap is completely and utterly biased, having no place in Wikipedia. "therefore waste the warmonger's money on Xiu Xiu fans who are intelligent and well versed in global politics, capitalism, and empire." Not really a partisan statement such that should be featured in Wikipedia. If this was a direct quote from Jamie, it would be acceptable, but I utterly doubt that this quote was more than some sophomoric attempt to introduce bias to this page. The unverified content should be deleted until someone confirms that The Onion even knows who the hell Xiu Xiu is. Fmalcangi 06:49, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
