The music video for Death Valley '69 is kinda the Bermuda triangle of coolness. Sonic Youth, Lydia Lunch, and Richard Kern unite to create some total bad-assness. And then Lung Leg jumps in and sinks your ship with cool! Also thematically and stuff- is it weird that this makes me think of White Zombie. Did you know that White Zombie was originally a noise rock band that met at Parsons? Anyhow, anytime Sean Yseult, Lung Leg, Lydia Lunch, and Kim Gordon wanna get together and have a mosh pit with me- I'm in!
Unconscious and Irrational is named for the media's common presentation of girls and women as being either "out of control" or simply "passed out". In movies there aren't many female roles that won't show the girl either passing out, being knocked unconscious, or going totally crazy (usually with a car, credit car, or depressed dude).
On this blog I want to show the zillions of other things we do - whether it be music, art, comedy, or politics. I aim to provide you with a variety of gals to look up to- from Romy and Michele to Shirley Chisholm and Bella Abzug.
