there's a sky upstairs and i won't forget all the names of the lovers...

this is turning into one of those blogs where the author is so busy all that they can do is post videos!! isn't it silly! tonight we went to see the transmogrifiers and hey everyone who are the best (and in this video, it's a bit of their song, rotten little buggers). the show was at meow which was nice. it's like i feel like something way bigger than me! and it's nice to have somewhere fun and cool to go to celebrate both community and music. and bryndis supplied with juiceboxes and cupcakes! woot!

it's a banana-saur! like a theasaur! the word spewing dinosaur!

saturday night we went to jump + dash etc and hung out. torie made this flick. so funny! and very honest of our night together! enjoy!!

hey girlfriend, i've got a proposition, something like this!

i bought this dvd yesterday to add to my ever growing collection of third wave texts and riot grrrl/femmebot associated things. dont' need you is a good alternative to american hardcore.i have more i want to say about riot grrrl exploding out of the violence and patriarchal structure of the dc hardcore scene. it's nice knowing that riot grrrl was borne out of a collective of women (spearheaded by kathleen hanna and alison from bratmobile but definitely collective led!) who spent the summer of 1991 in d.c. (with all of those hardcore men!). the film is not technically the best, sound quality is pretty bad, but some of the issues touched on are important (the media taking on riot grrrl for its own means, feminism!!) and films are hard work! yo! so, it would be cool to throw a movie night with american hardcore and "don't need you" and then to engage in discussion about the two films. that would be really fun. or even a comparative esssay. hmmmm, maybe i'll do that!! xoxo.
