Bit of a story time - so my blog's sub head and first online moniker come from a Le Tigre song (Tres Bien). When I first heard Mediocrity Rules I was blown away - the lyrics, the riffs, I had never heard anything like it. Le Tigre were my first foray into alternative music, hell into punk music. Then as I listened more I not only learned what it meant to be punk, I learned about feminism too. Then I also learned about queer identity. As someone raised in a conservative + religious suburb I always assumed queer people never spoke about it, or were never seen or heard. I quickly learned about our history and also learned that I wasn't alone, that the feelings I had been feeling (not only about being gay, but the reaction and stigmas of gays) were okay, and not all that different than any other gay people. I owe SO much to this band for shaping me, and getting to see them play in Toronto (a city I grew up around and live in now) with my current life partner gave me all the feels. I've never felt more validated or seen and I wanna thank Kathleen, Johanna, and JD from the bottom of my rainbow heart forever
