Antony & The Johnsons - Cripple and the Starfish

its about an abusive relationship

..ergreifend...wunderbar...dan ke..thank you for your music

haha
i always thought this song was about a goy boy fancying a straight boy and getting beatn by him for it.

i suppose our own personal experiences shape the way we interpret language.

Da tempo non sentivo una voce così particolare: passerà alla storia della musica.

I've got my gems. Thank you very much. I would hardly call the beach covered with them though.

Go Magnetic Fields!!!

As do we all. Depends what beach your on;)


Iron filings?

re: first point: the consequences are not nebulous by any means, semantically speaking there is a denotative exclusion of non-heterosexual desires; your answer perhaps works on a connotative level, but only by extension and acceptance of gendered language, i.e. "guys" to refer to a group of women.

re: 2nd pt: Perhaps our priorities in art sense-making R different. Epistemologically speaking, I find this skeleton as precious as my internal semiotic processes. I love this song b/c of its origins.

re re 1st:

Your relationship with Art seems to be entirely beholden to and dependent on literal interpretation. Are you really telling me that you have no capacity for an empathetic reading of something not necessarily tailored to your subjective 'fit' so to speak?

re re 2nd:

Perhaps they are. But that doesn't lessen or invalidate either one. Personally I think it can be greatly enhancing to be aware of a creative genesis point, but its not necessarily an essential prerequisite.

re(3) 1st: really? hahaha. i am saying that my identification processes are more inviting and pleasurable when I sing along to non-gendered lyrics. To cognitive dissonance, I say "Suck It."

re(3) 2nd: I meant that to validate both of our points of view. i don't believe that the author is dead, but i do believe in citation.

I want to be orally impregnated with Patrick Wolf's children. The ultimate object of my queer desires.

Iron Filings? Link me.

re(the 4th) 1st: I guess you don't have to work as hard with neutrality. Personally I like to do the disambiguating myself.

'Suck It'?- How very Daryl Bem of you;)

re(the 4th) 2nd:

Not dead, peripheral though, and citation...hmmm, yes if only for the sake of Royalties.

I can imagine exactly what 'Magic Position' you want to be in;)
