Some things you lose, some things you give away...

It feels so disingenuous to rock out to Sleater-Kinney in my comfortable mid-twenties existence.

But YEYS for Sleater Kinney!

Dude, I've been trying for YEARS to understand the appeal of Sleater-Kinney, but I just don't get it. I mean, I don't think they suck or anything like that, but the rabid following they command baffles me. Help me out? Not that I'm lumping you in with the rabid following, unless you choose to be so, um, lumped XD

Random aside--on the site for the pink shop I posted the other day, it says they carry Tarina jewelry O_O Now I'm afraid to go in there--I might see something crazily overpriced and awesome and be compelled by the irresistible power of Hello Kitty...

I'm not really a fangirl at ALL, I just like to rock out sometimes. *headbangs* In all honesty, I only ever bought "Call The Doctor," so I am basing my entire rocking out on one album. (And I'm okay with that.) I was riot grrl and Very Angry when I was young, though, so... that's where it comes in. I mean, it's the same for Ani Difranco and Tori Amos. (And nowadays, Amanda Palmer.)

It's like Neil Gaiman -- I both Get and Don't Get why people fan things. I mean, does Gaiman deserve? Does he not? I think perhaps Tori and Amanda Palmer could be considered definitively music--

OKAY, IT JUST STRUCK ME: TORI AMOS = AMANDA PALMER
but ANI DIFRANCO = EMILIE AUTUMN

Ahem. If you understand that. (It has nothing to do with musical styles...)

But I really don't get fanning PEOPLE (versus the art), ever, ever, ever, I think. And I get sick of things. Heck, I was afraid you and Tiki would start shunning me for being over-exposed to Colbert and Concords.


I was watching Inkubus Sukkubus videos on Youtube last night and wondering if you had seen them, and could share in the... uh... magic. I'd forgotten how very special they were.


Your entire last week's worth of posts had made me wish to comment, but unable to formulate thoughts through the AWESOME.

Uh, that top part wasn't clear -- I don't consider Tori OR Ani to be angry, but they were also fanned to a ridiculous degree around the same time period, though.

(BUT SERIOUSLY, TORI AMOS-PALMER AND ANILIE AUTUMN; YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING?)
