Why I would cut off my dick with a dull knife to be Kathleen Hanna's lesbian soulmate

[modest mouse]

Demirep

Miss Mary Mac, Mac, Mac
All dressed in black, black, black
With silver buttons, buttons, buttons
All down her back, back, back
She asked her mother, mother, mother
For fifteen cents, cents, cents
To see the elephants, elephants, elephants, elephants
They jumped the fence, fence, fence
They jumped so high, high, high
They reached the sky, sky, sky
And never came back, back, back
Til the fourth of July, lie, lie, liar

I'm sorry that I'm getting chubby
And I cannot always be happy for you
And I'm not some lame sorority queen
Taking you home to meet my Daddy

You collect yr trustfund baby
And I'll be a whore
And we'll pretend we're just the same but
I know I know I know I know that

I, I am hiding
The YOU I show to YOU is just a lie
You take what you want, you got what you take
You take what you want, you are what you hate
But I got something man, that yr fucking money cannot buy

You never know what it's like to be alive

I could scream my truth, if I wanted
Right thru yr lies
But yr baseball bat words, razormouth
Carves yr initials bloody in my thighs

dare I ask who the hell is Kathleen Hanna?

I should have given credit for the above lyrics, they come from Bikini Kill.

Kathleen Hanna was the vocalist for BK and its dominant personality. The av I am currently sporting is of Ms. Hanna taken around the time of BK's initial publicity. They subsequently stopped communicating with the press which they were generating. Kathleen would scrawl words (ie the 'slut') before performances and proceed to launch into the greatest punk of the last 15 years, bar none.

BK eventually called it quits with Kathleen releasing one album as 'Julie Ruin'. She then moved on to Le Tigre, a lo-fi politically charged, radically feminist trio based in NYC.

Just another in the long line of women I find interesting(in RL and otherwise) that prefer the company of other women. My suffering is assured.

Btw....

Bikini Kill Kicks Ass and Takes Names.

I think everyone who reads this would be worried about modest mouse.

We need to raid his house and take all the dull knives. And while we are at it, someone smack him in the head a few times and bring him back down to earth.

 

[modest mouse]

No need to worry. Any feelings expressed in this thread have always been within me, they are not new or fresh or sudden. I would dismiss the lyrics except that they still resonate with me and are an indication of how I regard life, at times.

Perhaps the visions are radical, I find comfort and liberation inside the songs. Kathleen has spilt forth many ideas within my head and I thank her for generating the words I hadnt yet spoken.

This is an exposure of a layer that lies deeper within me than the one(s) usually exposed here or elsewhere online.

Modest Mouse loves riot grrls....I never would've guessed, what with your PJ Harvey icon and all... (Okay, technically she's not a riot chick, but she's still a bad ass in her own way.) I never got too into Bikini Kill or Sleater-Kinney, so I guess I'm lacking in the riot department.

Modest Mouse loves riot grrls....

That's why he'd football coach at Bennington

Now I know where the Mouse has taken off to. After years of effort he got Kathleen to agree to his fucked up sexless soulmate proposition.

If he gets her, I'm taking Nina.

I am worried about you Modest mouse

No need, Nessus; he's got the creation of thread titles to insure he gets enough attention.

I work in sales.

 

[KillerMuffin]

Hey forget the knife. There's a guy in Colorado who does castrations at a reasonable price. Even more reasonable if you let him sell the vids of the castration on the Internet.

You lucky dawg.

 

[Cheyenne]

Thanks, Lavy. But I still never heard of Kathleen Hanna, outside of this thread by MM. I never read it the first time around just for that reason!
