#i promise none of you are such spectacular lovers that we’re going to those lengths to fuck you
Text
gay trans men: isn’t it fucked up that so many cis gay men proudly talk about how disgusting they think our bodies are, get violent when they realize they were attracted to one of us, push us out of community spaces because they don’t think we belong there, invalidate the orientation of the cis gay men who enter into relationships with us, accuse us of raping the cis gay men we’ve had sex with, aggressively misgender us and make assumptions about our bodies, act like their personal lack of desire to be with us means we must be fundamentally unattractive and morally reprehensible, and generally treat our existence like a personal attack worthy of a violent response when all we’re trying to do is exist?
those cis gay men & their friends: oh my god, you’re literally trying to force your disgusting female pussy onto gay men! this is conversion therapy! you’re a predator and a rapist and you deserve to die!
gay trans men: …we literally do not care if you have sex with us. nobody said anything about that. a lot of us are t4t, asexual, and/or already in a relationship, and the rest of also don’t want to have sex with you that badly because we would much rather be fucking someone who actually likes us; this has never been about who we personally want to sleep with. we’d just really appreciate it if you could treat us like human beings and not actively try to make the gay community hostile toward our existence. you don’t have to be attracted to us, just don’t be awful to us? and maybe, once you have that part down, ask yourself why you were so quick to assume a subset of queer people are all violent predators?
those people: HOMOPHOBES! EVIL GROSS FETISHIZING RAPIST HOMOPHOBES!
#it really is like talking to a brick wall. an aggressively bigoted brick wall#i promise none of you are such spectacular lovers that we’re going to those lengths to fuck you#the more mad we make you the more likely it is that none of us would touch you with a ten foot pole#like. me and my five year committed gay relationship do not want to fuck you#and even if it ended tomorrow. i still would not want to fuck you personally#bc i 1) am primarily t4t. 2) have fucking standards. and 3) have no interest in fucking people who don’t want to fuck me#this was never about wanting to get in bed with you#we just want to exist in peace#transandrophobia#transandromisia#transmisandry#virilmisia#virilphobia#anti transmasculinity#transmascphobia#trans men#transmascs

It was a week for lovers, cynics, and uh, Run for Cover Records in a large, respect, too. The latter gave us this week’s latest recommended listen with the future-minded emo rap entry point into Wicca Phrase Springs Eternal’s universe on Suffer On, alongside the dangerous desires emerging from American Pleasure Club’s latest vision, romantic euphoria in physical sky form from Westkust, and Field Medic leaving their mark on the heart with their organic visuals. Anti-Valentine’s Day listens saw SASAMI exploring the freedom of solitude, Tamaryn playing the part of an angel of desire unrequited, Nanami Ozone letting go of getting mixed up in something, and Potty Mouth predicting an inevitable doom for those starry-eyed endorphins. Meanwhile, La Dispute coped with heavier forms of loss with deeper meditation. Brace yourself, because there’s even more songs about love and losing it where that came from.
Here’s the best of the rest from the week of February 10th, 2019…
Cold Cave - “Promised Land” [Heartworm Press]
Valentine’s Day week have some sort of morbid significance for even a dark-hearted goth fashionista such as Wes Eisold, as it’s consistently been a time where you can expect him to release new music in some form. Usually, it’s been through his industrial electronic complex Cold Cave, but last year, he switched predictability up with the heavy listmaking return of his hardcore punk band American Nightmare. It’s Cold Cave who are back in 2019, however, with “Promised Land”, the first new music from the project since last spring’s “You & Me & Infinity”. Produced by Chris Coady (Beach House, Yeah Yeah Yeahs,) it hear Eisold lurking over propulsive IDM beat, new wave synths, a plunging piano riff and his constant Amy Lee’s backing vocals ascending from the underworld. Cold Cave will be embarking on a full band U.S. tour (featuring Eisold, Lee, CEREMONY’s Anthony Anzaldo, Nils Blue and Ryan McMahon) starting this week, with ADULT. and Vowws in tow.

Dark Blue - “Let Me Tell You a New Story” [12XU]
Philly post-punk romanticists Dark Blue -- the dapperly ghoulish supergroup of John Sharkey III of Clockcleaner, Mike Sneeringer of Purling Hiss, and Andy Nelson of CEREMONY -- are looking toward March 22nd for the arrival of their third studio effort Victory Is Rated. Back in January, they previewed the album with its leadoff single “Waterford Crystal”, a listen rich with sharp, prismatic riffs and Madchester scene theatrics amid Sharkey’s grumbling baritone. Its latest, “Let Me Tell You a Story”, is a brighter turn around its corners with jangled guitars sparkling over a bulging rumble of feedback, which prove to be the perfect medium for Sharkey’s howls of pining to see their way through. “Oh baby, let me tell you a new story / Let me tell you of a story on Monday, Tuesday, and weekends, too / I’ll stay here forever / Forever and a day with you,” his voice croons, and when Kurt Vile’s trumpet solo hits, there is no denying that Dark Blue have poured their everything into getting your attention here.

Hand Habits - “what lovers do” [Saddle Creek]
Hand Habits, the creative moniker of rising exploratory songwriter Meg Duffy, will be releasing their sophomore effort placeholder on March 1st on Saddle Creek, a perfect home for their style of warm, dreamswept indie-folk that puts them in good company along the likes of Big Thief and Tomberlin. We’ve already heard two awe-striking examples of Duffy’s ability to turn a maelstrom of complex emotions on love and loss into gently powerful reflections on the album’s title track and “can’t calm down”. Its latest in “what lovers do” is a slocore-like slowburn where the desire for someone out of reach fans the flames that divide building connection and tempting a long con toward fate .That placeholder was written in the wake of raging California wildfires is observed in the way guitars plume like smoke and there’s a majesty in the destruction. "When the shame baton gets passed back and forth between parties, who is the fool? I could never claim to have a complete understanding,” tells The Fader of the listen.

Jenny Lewis - “Heads Gonna Roll’ [Warner Bros. Records]
This spring, indie scene queen Jenny Lewis will return with her first new album in five years with On the Line. It’s first single arrived at the end of January with the intoxicatingly booming “Red Bull & Hennessy”, and now we get to hear the LP’s opener with recent live staple “Heads Gonna Roll”. As with most of the album, it features guest features from some VIP names in Ringo Starr on drums, Don Was from ‘80s funk rockers (Was) Not Was, and Benmont Trench, keyboardist of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Though their execution is done in perfection, the song is entirely Lewis’ to define in only the way she can by walking her storytelling through a hazy, glamorous symphony that doesn’t forget every specific memory of a past tryst. “Smoking Marlboro cigarettes / Almost makes me forget about / Riding on a private jet with you / I hope the sycophants in Marrakesh / Make you feel your very best / Anonymity must make you blue,” she sings. There’ll be none of that later on this month when she she hits the stage on tour.

pronoun - “stay” [Rhyme & Reason]
pronoun is Alyse Vellturo, a Brooklyn-based musician who makes urgent, indulgent indie pop-rock that was born out of breakup and has since caught a cult following in punk circles where she’s toured with a clash of like-minded sounds like Citizen, Turnover, Angel Du$t, and Oso Oso. Her style, though intimate in its fly-on-the-wall eavesdropping into Vellturo’s mind, takes on a bigger-than-life quality because of the way there’s just a one-human force behind it all, and “stay” -- the lead single from her forthcoming debut album i’ll show you stronger, due out on May 24th -- we’re swept away into the eye of her emotive windstorm. “Here comes the deafening silence / I can hear every heart beating / Except for fucking yours and now I'm stuck here and I'm feeling / Like I'm standing in the middle of the road,” he words dash over dotted lines without breath. “Feels like I'm standing in the middle and an eighteen wheeler washed over me.” Her anxious trail of thoughts coupled with shimmering guitar work and the occasional angle colors way outside of brain wavelength in a way where the inevitable collision is nothing short of spectacular.

Sir Babygirl - “Crush On Me” [Father / Daughter Records]
The new year introduced us to Sir Babygirl, the DIY experimental pop project of Kelsie Hogue. Her sound looks toward mainstream influences such as Charli XCX and Carly Rae Jepsen for the blueprints of pop perfection, and then deconstructs them into her own mold as an artist through a homemade work built around guitar loops, synth samples and electronic drums that create earworms with culturally astute commentaries, such as the recent standout “Everyone Is a Bad Friend”. Her debut album Crush On Me was just released yesterday, and along with it, arrives the video for its title track. The listen itself isn’t exactly the same version as you’ll hear on the LP, as that one is a demo that’s just as irresistible with its trap-driven clacking where as this version twirls through ambient feedback loops and an echo chamber of its cheery chorus. Dan Carr directed the visuals, an uncanny watch of a literal meta take on the song title that dizzies the eyes in Hogue’s reflection.

Weyes Blood - “Everyday” [Sub Pop]
The music of Natalie Mering, better known as Weyes Blood, has been smoldering with precision from the psychedelic energy of Southern California’s avant-pop waves for the better part of this decade, with three acclaimed full-lengths officially released under her name. Her forthcoming effort Titanic Rising, due out on April 5th, will be her first for the indie major Sub Pop, and thus far, her latest sonic transformation is shaping up to sound like she’s ready for bigger stages with it. The announcement comes with the album’s second single“Everyday” joining the previously-released cosmic country ballad ‘Andromeda” that has Mering pairing together her free spirit folkisms with a Harry Nillson-esque grandeur, and lamenting a case for love. “It's true, it's true / I see you everyday / But that's not enough,” she sings with sunshine radiance in spite of romance’s rough rodeo. “I got this seeker running along a lonely line / Always trying to make my keeper mine.” Adam Gerber directed the track’s accompanying visuals, which plays on ‘70s stoned out summer camp tropes before turning into a blood bath.
