we are not a gay band

in that, we are not a specifically queercore oriented project. it's kind of annoying to hear kids we know who really ought to know better to be totally reductive and answer the question: what kind of music is it? - and say, of it's like gay or something. and not the middle school gay, but to be all like we are defined only or predominately by our sexuality and gender, and at time less ambiguous lyrics. whatever. like, unless someone were to say like, oh they're gay like junior senior, like i can get down with that. junior senior is some sick pop shit. crazy manic happy pop music is some shit, like andrew wk, it's fun to listen to on occasion. just to be reductively reduced to like, oh it's queercore is annoying. like there is a long lineage of iconic queer artists that we are blatantly stealing from and inspired by god damnit, so whatever. this is a dumb post. i'm super bored and at work again. hammond organ night...whoo. apparently tommi feels a lot of pressure to drum real good. i'm like, tommi, yr like the best drummer ever, it's not that big a deal to be so flashy or miss a beat, and you don't always have to be putting pressure on yrself to impress everybody when they already think yr awesome already. i mean, i've started really paying attention to drums in music i listen to now, whereas i used to generally kind of tune them out, or whatever, and like drums in pop music is like really really boring. i mean, overplaying can be hell of fucking annoying and distracting too, that first fall cd i have is fucking unlistenable because of that damned drummer, but really what the world need more of is definitely more keith moon, that's for sure. cuz i don't even get the appeal jon bonham. like maybe i ain't heard enough zep, but his shit is hella boring for being so highly coveted and influential and shit. i mean, i'm just not hearing it. but really, i couldn't even be bothered to listen to zep if i don't have to, cuz once thru in thru the out door was enough hackery for me. can believe i have like 2 dollar copies of that shit album, haha.
