I WILL NOT BE PURIFIED - Sophie Strand + Amanda Palmer + Gracie and Rachel

Amanda Palmer 2022-10-18 | Written and read by Sophie Strand live at at Amanda Palmer's O+ Festival Benefit at The Old Dutch Church in Kingston, NY, August 13, 2022. Accompanying live music by Amanda Palmer & Gracie and Rachel.

O+ is an organization that empowers communities to take control of their collective wellbeing through the exchange of art, music, and wellness. During the festival, underinsured artists and musicians create and perform in exchange for a variety of services donated by doctors, dentists and complementary care providers. Find out more, and support, at https://opositivefestival.org.

Musicians and writers are empowering themselves to make fertile soil in which to make art. Weird projects like this - how on earth can something like this make a "profit"? - exist by the grace of patronage via patreon.com/amandapalmer. Please consider becoming a patron - for as little as $1 per month - so that we can continue to make soulful art from the heart that has no home in the ordinary commercial marketplace. And to the 10,000+ patrons who funded this undertaking, we all thank you deeply.

You can read an in-depth (public) post about this entire project here: patreon.com/posts/73123715

SURFACE PRESSURE - AMANDA PALMER (w JHEREK BISCHOFF & THE BLACK QUARTET)

Amanda Palmer 2022-03-17 | This recording started as a jokey suggestion on one of my patron-only webcasts and then evolved into a DARE. I took the dare. My son, Ash, who is six, is OBSESSED with Encanto and I'd already heard the soundtrack 357 times. The first time I saw Luisa sing this in the film, I cracked inside. I FELT VERY VALIDATED, especially after being a solo parent for a year in a foreign country because of Covid. The recording was made over the course of one VERY LONG day (Feb 22nd, 2022, at Roundhead Studios in Aoteraoa New Zealand), and every second of the process was streamed live to my 12,000 patrons who acted as virtual sounding boards and cheerleaders for me, the studio crew, the Black Quartet, and the arranger/conductor Jherek Bischoff who beamed in from Los Angeles for the whole thing (in a Tuxedo, with a candelabra, in the living room).

This song file will be emailed to patrons and will stream for FREE on all NormCore music platforms, but please be aware: this is basically a non-profit venture. All of the costs for this are covered by my patrons.

To be very clear: the way we are ABLE to create this kind of non-profit work at this level of professionalism is ONLY because of patronage, where thousands of people support one artist (me) to follow her random dreams...like, um, recording a fast and furious Disney cover with a high-end New Zealand string quartet in the fanciest recording studio in town on one week's notice. In no other world is this possible. Patronage makes the dream work.

If you want to support me, and all of the musicians, engineers, artists, and filmmakers that I hope to collaborate with in the future, PLEASE skip the middlemen and support me directly as a patron. In general, if you give your dollar to iTunes or Spotify, only a teeny fraction of that money comes our way. If you give your dollar via patronage, we can work wonders. So, please; give us a dollar a month, and I swear: we will make great art, hire great collaborators all around the world who deserve to be heard and seen, and we will make you seriously proud.

Join us here: patreon.com/amandapalmer

In addition, if you want to see the entire film of the recording day, it's broken into two parts.
You need to be a patron to access these films:

ASK AMANDA #1: I’m 39 & Dying of Cancer. How Do I Help the Love of My Life?

Amanda Palmer 2022-02-11 | Hello my loves. This is a home-made video of me live-reading (and live-weeping) my new advice column: "Ask Amanda #1: I’m 39 and Dying of Cancer. How Do I Help the Love of My Life?" The original column, with beautiful artwork by Sarah Beetson, is here: amandapalmer.substack.com/p/ask-amanda-1-im-39-and-dying-of-cancer

For the foreseeable run of "Ask Amanda", which is being hosted over on Substack, I'll be making these little home-reading videos just for the paid subscribers (it's $5/month).

The next column up is "Ask Amanda #2, Envy and Survival in the time of Covid". I take six questions about how to deal lovingly with the anti-vaxxers in your life, how to deal with the dreaded comparison trap, and how to find balance when it all feels like it's falling apart.

You can subscribe for FREE to the column here, or become a paid subscriber to get this videos in your inbox every time I make them: amandapalmer.substack.com

BLURRED LINES + RAPE ME MASHUP - AMANDA PALMER & REB FOUNTAIN

Amanda Palmer 2021-10-05 | Powered by patronage. Recorded live on August 13th 2021 at Stebbing Studios in Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand. Please share it; the only promotion for this video is word of mouth.

This project was powered and paid for by patrons (12,000+ of them, all over the globe), who allow us to create this kind of high-end non-commercial content without having to compromise or answer to any corporation, brand, or company. Please support our team and collaborators' ability to make more work like this (and get updates via email, and so much more) here for as little as $1/month: patreon.com/amandapalmer

This project was originally inspired by Lizz Winstead (co-creator of the daily show), who reached out and asked Amanda to cover a traditionally sexist song for a fundraiser called DoReMeToo. Amanda had just befriended Reb Fountain, a kiwi indie rock icon, and the two found out they were literally cousins. The collaboration was a healing one. You can read our letter to patrons about this making of this whole project, and see photos from the studio sessions, here: patreon.com/posts/56275346

Many many thanks to all the patrons, without whom this would not have gotten made and to our team:

Sound Engineer: Steve McGough
Director of Photography: Olly Harris
Editor: Hugh Sundae
Studio Assistant/Stills Photographer: Victoria Bell

CITY HALL - a joyful song & crowd-sourced video by JASON WEBLEY & AMANDA PALMER

Amanda Palmer 2020-12-18 | THERE IS STILL JOY IN THE WORLD! This little song was written at City Hall in New York City in just a few minutes - with lyrics almost entirely by Jason, ukulele by Amanda - while we were waiting in line for our good friends Lance and Kurt to get married. All the photos were crowdsourced from Amanda's patrons, and you can see everybody's names, the song credits & learn more about how it all happened HERE at this post: patreon.com/posts/44897500

LYRICS:
My family's mean, religious, and grumpy
Yours are all in a different country
We won't have to deal with them at all
Meet me in a couple of hours
Bring a ring, I'll grab some flowers
Let's get hitched today at City Hall

The guards are all suspiciously pleasant
Half the people in here are pregnant
I’ll put on my tux in the bathroom stall
I'm not joking, let's just do it
Skip the hassle, I say screw it
Let's get hitched today at City Hall

I'm on acid, you've been drinking
The room is melting, time is shrinking
And the judge is a pulsing, glowing
kindly, sage-like, warm, all-knowing
kaleidoscopic infinite disco ball
I say I do, you say you too
It's an easy thing to do to -
Put on pants and grab an Uber
Line up at the metal detector
Sign the form, do the kiss
Start our life of wedded bliss
It took six minutes, holy shit,
We just got fucking hitched at City Hall

LYRICS:
I'll be sleeping under stars tonight
Not sure exactly where I'll be
Maybe underneath the pale moonlight
Or maybe underneath that tree

Black smoke
Writing in the sky tonight
Everything will be alright
If you let go
Humans
All gathered in the place tonight
Everything will be alright
If you let go

Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh

I'll be sleeping under stars tonight
Not sure exactly where I'll be
Maybe underneath the pale moonlight
Or maybe underneath that tree

Black smoke
Writing in the sky tonight
Everything will be alright
If you let go
Humans

Everything will be alright
If you let go

Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh
Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh

Black smoke
Writing in the sky tonight
Everything will be alright
If you let go
Humans
All gathered in the place tonight
Everything will be alright
If you let go

featuring BRIAN VIGLIONE of THE DRESDEN DOLLS on drums

and JHEREK BISCHOFF on bass & guitar

LYRICS:
Raindrops on roses
And whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Cream-colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells
And schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things

Boys in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver-white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad

Rain never falling and whisked-away kittens
Evacuations and cats people live in
Kangaroos burning and birds with no wings
These are a few of my favorite things.

Beautiful sunsets ironically colored
Homes with no power and kids with no mothers
Smug politicians with necks we could wring
These are a few of my favorite things.

Boris and megxit and scotty and isis
and bushfires and wildfires and climates in crisis
Silver white icebergs that melt into springs
these are a few of my favorite things

when the dogs die
when the bees die
when i’m feeling blue
i’ll simply remember my favorite things
OH NO I’LL BE DEAD LIKE YOU.

LYRICS:
Noisy Miners
Bully the suburbs
Out beyond the haze
Seaside holiday houses
Lay quiet as a grave
Tombs of dreams past
Wealth gone to waste
The Australian dream is fading
Stolen anyway

I’m never gonna lose my head
To a setting sun
I’m never gonna dream of things
That just can’t be done

Pavement’s too hot to walk on barefoot
So you hop and skip
Prawns in wheelie bins marinate
A cocktail of stink
Bat swaying on
The power line
Wings open in surrender
This is how you die

I’m never gonna lose my head
To a setting sun
I’m never gonna dream of things
That just can’t be done
I’m never gonna say, never gonna do, never gonna be
Anything more than what’s expected of me

LYRICS:
Out here nothin' changes
Not in a hurry anyway
You can feel the endlessness
With the comin' of the light o' day
You're talkin' 'bout a chosen place
You wanna sell it in a marketplace
Well
Well just a minute now

You're standin' on solid rock
Standin' on sacred ground
Livin' on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Are blowin' down the line

Right down the line

Well round about the dawn of time
The Dreaming all began
A crowd of people came
Well they were lookin' for their promised land
We're runnin' from the heart of darkness
Searchin' for the heart of light
It was their paradise

Well they were standin' on solid rock
Standin' on sacred ground
Livin' on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Were blowin' cold that night

Well they were standin' on the shore one day
Saw the white sails in the sun
Wasn't long before they felt the sting
White man, white law, white gun
Don't tell me that it's justified
Cause somewhere someone lied
Yeah, well someone lied
Someone lied
Genocide
Well someone lied oh

And now you're standin' on solid rock
Standin' on sacred ground
Livin' on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Are blowin' down the line

Solid rock
Standin' on sacred ground
Livin' on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Are blowin' down the line

Solid rock
Standin' on sacred ground
Livin' on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Are blowin' down the line
No, oh! Oh no!

featuring BRIAN VIGLIONE of THE DRESDEN DOLLS on drums

and JHEREK BISCHOFF on bass & guitar

LYRICS:
walking through the woods i saw a sign nailed to a tree
i knew the sign was meant for girls like me who couldn’t read

a man with a girl by the throat
a bottle of dettol
a bottle of rum
and a painting of smoke
coming off of a settler’s roof
it looked just like a house i knew

walking down the street i saw a sign nailed to a tree
i knew the sign was made for girls like me who couldn’t read
the rain came down i shut my eyes
i opened them again
i tried real hard to make some sense of what the pictures meant

a man hanging down from a tree
a man that look something like me
a bottle of dettol
a bottle of pills
and a painting of smoke
coming out of a house on fire
it looked just like my neighbors house

C is for civilized now we will make you
and B is for baptism now we will name you
and P its for petticoat pretty and fitting
now here is the paper that said you were willing

old prescriptions left in bottles
you don’t give that to a child
human chains that stretch for miles
you don’t give that to a child
time is up
suck it up
buttercup

walking to the bar i saw a sign nailed to a tree
i knew the sign was meant for girls like me who couldn’t read
i tried my best to understand but still i feel i’ve failed
i even tried to cut myself i even did my nails

a woman tied up in the back of a truck
a man in a uniform
a man with his pants down

and a man with a gun

a bottle of dettol
and painting of smoke
coming off of the tasman strait
it looked just the maps from school

D is for devil and also for daughter
and T is for truth
and S is for slaughter
and R is for Rapist
and F is for Father
its time for the test
here’s your pencil and paper

and B is for Brother who hid in the bedroom
and F is for friend who stood by and did nothing
and Q is for quarrelsome crass little girl
and E’s for the end of the W world

old prescriptions left in bottles
you don’t give that to a child
human chains that stretch for miles
you don’t give that to a child
time is up
suck it up
buttercup

walking through the woods i saw a sign nailed to a tree
i saw the picture of the girl
i knew the girl was me
i’m sorry that you had to waste your paint on everyone
i’m sorry that i’m still alive
i’m sorry i’m so dumb

A is for i’m

then i saw the sign catch on fire
the tree catch on fire
the woods catch on fire
the world catch on fire

and then i saw my mother
walking out of the embers

she said
no more trees means no more hangings
no more words and no more learning
no more fighting no more fire
go to sleep now mama’s tired

no more trees and no more hangings
no more words and no more learning
no more fighting no more fire
go to sleep now mama’s tired
go to sleep now mama’s tired
go to sleep now mama’s tired

LYRICS:
They couldn't understand why the drover cried
As they buried the drover's boy
The Drover had always seemed so hard, to the men in his employ
A bolting horse, the stirrup lost
And the drover's boy was dead
The shovelled dirt, a mumbled word
And it's back to the road ahead;
And forget about the drover's boy;
Forget about the drover's boy

And they couldn't understand why the drover cut
The lock of the dead boy's hair
And put it in the band of his battered old hat
As they watched him standing there
And he told them to take the cattle on
I'll sit with the boy a while
A silent thought, a pipe to smoke
And it's ride another mile
And forget about the drover's boy
Forget about the drover's boy

And they couldn't make out why the drover and the boy
Always camped so far away
For the tall white man and the slim black boy
Never had much to say
And the boy would be gone at the break of dawn
Tail the horses, carry on
While the drover roused the sleeping men
Daylight – hit the road again
And follow the drover's boy, and follow the drover's boy

In the Camooweal Pub they talked about
The death of the drover's boy
They drank their rum with the stranger who'd come
From the Kimberley run, Fitzroy
And he told of the massacre in the west
Barest details – guess the rest
Shoot the bucks, grab a gin
Cut her hair, break her in
And call her a boy – the drover's boy
And call her a boy – the drover's boy

So when they build that stockman's hall of fame
And they talk about the droving game
Remember the girl who was bedmate and guide
Rode with the drover side by side
Watched the bullocks, flayed the hide
Faithful wife but never bride
Bred his sons for the cattle run
But don't weep for the drover's boy
Don't mourn for the drover's boy
But don't forget the drover's boy

LYRICS:

There's a road train going nowhere
Roads are cut, lines are down
We'll be staying at the Roma bar
Till that monsoon passes on

The backbone of this country's broken
The land is cracked and the land is sore
Farmers are hanging on by their fingertips
We cursed and stumbled across that shore
What for?

I hear much support for the monarchy
I hear the Union Jack's to remain
I see Namatjira in custody
I see Truganini's in chains

And the world won't stand still

Blue collar work it don't get you nowhere
You just go round and round in debt
Somebody's got you on that treadmill, mate
And I hope you're not beaten yet

I hear much support for the monarchy
I hear the Union Jack's to remain
I see Namatjira in custody
I see Truganini's in chains

I hear much support for the monarchy
I see the Union Jack in flames, let it burn
I see Namatjira with dignity
I see Truganini's in chains

And the world won't stand still
And the world won't stand still
Chains...
And the world won't stand still
And the world won't stand still

LYRICS:
Out where the river broke
The bloodwood and the desert oak
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels
Steam in forty-five degrees

The time has come to say fair's fair
To pay the rent, to pay our share
The time has come, a fact's a fact
It belongs to them, let's give it back

How can we dance when our earth is turning?
How do we sleep while our beds are burning?
How can we dance when our earth is turning?
How do we sleep while our beds are burning?

The time has come to say fair's fair
To pay the rent now, to pay our share

Four wheels scare the cockatoos
From Kintore, east to Yuendemu
The Western Desert lives and breathes
In forty-five degrees

The time has come to say fair's fair
To pay the rent, to pay our share
The time has come, a fact's a fact
It belongs to them, let's give it back

How can we dance when our earth is turning?
How do we sleep while our beds are burning?
How can we dance when our earth is turning?
How do we sleep while our beds are burning?

The time has come to say fair's fair
To pay the rent now, to pay our share
The time has come, a fact's a fact
It belongs to them, we're gonna give it back

How can we dance when our earth is turning?
How do we sleep while our beds are burning?

LYRICS:
The French Brexit song

Oh England, you broke our heart
When you first voted to depart
But before you off and pack, one thing
We want our language back

Oh England, you went your way
But for this exit you will pay
Without French letters you’ll be lost
It’s time for you to count la cost

No you can’t have joie de vivre without le français
You’ll lose yourself without our cul-de-sac
There is no fizz without champagne
Though you can gladly keep your rain
We’re taking all our French words back

No, you cannot drive a car without a chauffeur
There’s no déjà-vu without déjà vu
What’s sex without its lingerie?
Piers Morgan without his toupée
We really feel miserable for you

Oh England, you’re such a fool
Did they teach you nothing at school
With politics you’ve been risqué
For Brexit is just an entrée

Yes England, this is the start
Of picking allies à la carte
Soon the whole world will turn on you
It isn’t nice, but it is true

Cause you cannot rendez-vous without le francais
So many things that you will sorely miss
Like etiquette and ambulance
Without us you don’t stand a chance
You’ll die without our life saving French kiss

Key change!

No you can’t have marriage without fiancé
Without us your soufflé will never rise
Don’t bother to RSVP
We’ve buggered off for après ski
You didn’t get an invite, quelle surprise

Your cheeseboard will be blue without
Roquefort and camembert
When you can’t find the menu
You won't, because it isn’t there
When you smell of faint regret
Instead of fine eau de cologne
You only have yourselves to blame
For dining all alone

No you can’t eat à la mode without le francais
You’ll have to scoff it all off one big plate
Alas there will be no encore
Now that you’ve bolted your back door
For a referendum you will have to wait

And if you want our bel esprit
I’m sorry darling, c’est la vie
You should have voted stay, it is too late
Yes, you should have voted stay it is too late

Amanda Palmer - Everybody Knows Somebody (a sing-along)

Amanda Palmer 2019-08-15 | SING ALONG. SING IT LOUD. SING IT ON EVERY STREET CORNER IN AMERICA.
too many senseless deaths, people. i'm not a politician, or a cop, or a survivor, but i am an american, and a mom, and an artist. this is what i can do.

a full studio recording (with sing-along singers from beautiful upstate, NY) is available up on amandapalmer.bandcamp.com/track/everybody-knows-somebody.

100% of the profits from those downloads (it's a $1 or pay-what-you-want)will go to CHANGETHEREF.ORG, a non-profit started by manuel and patricia oliver after their son, joaquin oliver, was murdered during the marjorie stoneman douglas high school shooting in parkland, florida. changetheref.org is under the umbrella of the non-profit March For Our Lives, and is trying to empower younger kids to get into politics and make REAL CHANGE around gun safety.

manuel is also an art-activist, and he created the cover artwork for "everybody knows somebody" in less than two days after he found out what we were doing. i have never felt more honored and emotional collaborating with another artist. i can sing about this and feel all the feelings: but manuel lost his son. i cannot start to imagine how that feels.

making art isn't as direct as voting or calling your congresspeople. but art can get directly into the emotional heart of the matter.

this song was written in response to the insanity going on in our country. gun violence and the deaths of ordinary people all over america is becoming NORMAL.

IT ISN'T NORMAL.

let's call it what it is: a public health crisis. too many senseless deaths. too much pointless tragedy that could be avoided with better, safer, smarter gun laws.

i was able to write and record this song FAST because i knew i could release it immediately using funds from my 15,000+ patrons to cover all the studio costs, the cost of my production team, to pay manuel for his artwork, etc.

to my 15,000 patrons: thank you, thank you, thank you for supporting my work.
to everybody else: if you want to support me & my collaborators in making more art like this, join us here, it's a fantastic community of beautiful people:

LYRICS:

they say
this land gets more and more divided
if i may
i think that’s not the only side why
just today
i saw the late edition paper
and no way
i saw the north and south united
like the blood
that flows every color body
it’s enough
we’ve finally all at the same party
looking down
it may not be the thing we wanted
but there’s finally enough to go around
from new york
to california
from detroit
down to the border
we all have more in common now than we do not

now
everybody knows someday
(everybody knows someday)
everybody knows somebody
(everybody knows someday)
everybody knows somebody
who got shot.

they say
there’s trouble brewing in the union
hip hooray
look human beings being human
laying blame
wherever there is room to lay it’s
all the same
you want the red pill or the blue one
but it’s all
about to change there’s something
getting us aboard the SS progress
one big funeral for all the people
that we used to call before they
risked their lives to head out to the
mosque or to the mall
from new york to california
from detroit
down to the border
we all have more in common now than we do not
now everybody knows someday
(everybody knows someday)
everybody knows somebody
(everybody knows someday)
everybody knows somebody who got shot.
from the mountain rivers to the public squares
everybody’s getting really good at sending thoughts and prayers
from the heart of dixie up to oregon
we can can all rest assured there’ll be a slaughter somewhere by the dawn
and in the nightclubs all the dancers in the dark
they will twist the night away with extra fear inside their hearts
and from new england to alaska every child
will know exactly what to do now when a shooter opens fire
from new york
to california
from detroit
down to the border
we all have more in common now than we do not
now
everybody knows someday
(everybody knows someday)
everybody knows someday
(everybody knows someday)
everybody knows somebody

this land is your land
this land is my land
this land is our land
until it’s not
everybody knows somebody
(everybody knows somebody)
everybody knows somebody
(everybody knows somebody)
until everybody’s gone.

lyrics:

You worship the sun and you're aching for change
But you keep starving your heart
You used to have sisters
You don't anymore
You worship the sun
But you keep feeding the dark
And I'm out in the yard
With my son and my daughter
And the sky is all black and I think we should start running...
Running from the water
And everybody's yelling
Yelling that they're coming
But I don't see a single soul
They're all so busy yelling
Not one of them is hearing
The hissing from the bottom of the boat
I got some feelings up my sleeve
I got a compass in my arm
I got a needle in my heart
It's gonna tell us where we are
SXSW
Two miles from town
I can't get out
I can't look down
If you can hear
If you're around
I'm over here
I'm over here
I'm watching everyone I love
Drowning in the sound
You worship the sun
But the moon's in the way
So get your armaments out
She's always looking for trouble
She's gonna get what's been coming to her
She's switching the tides and we can't have that shit around
The television they're blaring out a warning:
That our natural state is drowning
That our natural state is burning
And you're trying to help
And you're clicking for change
And you're calling it out
And you're adding your name
And you're marching for peace
But you're lynching the bitch
That got up in your face
How else they gonna to take you seriously?
SXSW
Two miles from town
I can't get out
I can't look down
If you can hear
If you're around
I'm over here
I'm over here
I'm watching
Everyone I love
Drowning in the sound
And your body is a temple
And the temple is a prison
And the prison's overcrowded
And the inmates know it's flooding
And the body politic is getting sicker by the minute
And the media's not fake
It's just very
Inconvenient
Do you ever feel like this should be officially the end?
And that you should be the one to do the ending but you can't?
And do you ever feel that everyone is slowly letting go
Do you ever feel that... that incredibly alone?
And they're saying not to panic
And it's like a broken record
As if anybody knows what that is
And they're saying that we'll manage
It's the hottest one on record
And they're saying that that's just the way it is
Now I can taste it coming
I can taste it with my tongue
And my children are so heavy
But I pick them up & run
And I know I'll have to swim soon
When the water gets too high
I'll keep on holding them above me
I'll keep on holding them & crying
SXSW
Two miles from town
I can't get out
I can't look down
If you can hear
If you're around
I'm over here
I'm over here
I'm watching
Everyone I love....
Drowning in the sound.

TIME CODED SHOW NOTES + QUOTES

00:20 - “Faithful Servant Friend of Christ” by Lingua Ignota

05:21 - AFP on how she first discovered Lingua’s music through her friend and musician Cormac Bride

07:00 - Excerpts from “Woe To All (On The Day Of My Wrath) ” by Lingua Ignota

09:55 - AFP describes Lingua Ignota as a cross between Merzbow and Diamanda Galas

16:00 - At Brown University, Kristin’s Masters thesis on Digital Language Arts is titled “Burn Everything, Trust No One, Kill Yourself” which was algorithmically assisted using a Markov chain.

16:55 - To build the source material for her thesis, “I started culling together all of this language from the internet, and from liner notes, and from lyrics, from genres of extreme music that kind of mythologized misogyny.” - Kristin

18:30 - Kristin on her thesis: “I don’t want this to be something that has to be archived, I want this to be something that people have to deal with.”

19:00 - Some of Kristin’s inspiration that comes from Igor Stravinsky’s “The Rite of Spring”

22:45 - “In my other way, in my genre, I’ve picked something kind of extreme. Like, my stuff is definitely not for everyone and if you find confessional stuff confrontational, you’re going to find this really confrontational.” - AFP

24:20 - “There is only so much you can do with interpretation, there is only so much of yourself you can put into interpreting someone else’s music. And I eventually fell out of that and went to art school.” - Kristin

24:30 - “Coming to this work, I wanted it to be confrontational and to explore the ideas of gender-based violence in a way that wasn’t traditionally feminist. The work is not informed by any kind of Feminist school of thought, feminist theory, or—and I don’t really think about feminism at all when I make the work. I think about misogyny and hatred of women. And the attitudes espoused there. And about re-contextualizing and flipping the attitude instead.” - Kristin

29:30 - “My philosophy about art and this kind of stuff is that it’s all got to be allowed. Whether or not you serve it up with a giant context condiment buffet that isn’t what art ever has been and isn’t what art should turn into.” - AFP

28:45 - AFP on rethinking female artists like Tori Amos and Ani DiFranco. Her feelings around being compared to them and competing with them. And the framing around female-lead musicians as not as cool as the guys.

32:33 - “I wanted to be the kind of artist that my older boyfriend might actually one day stand up and say this is the thing. She can be up there with Current 93 and Swans and Coil like she belongs to the canon.” - AFP

35:00 - A discussion about having literal lyrics and if that makes you uncool.

45:47 - “I tend to specifically choose environments that maybe have more hostility in them to sing my most soul-baring songs.” - Kristin

47:10 - “I do think it’s really important to create that space and to make it okay for women to ask for things that facilitate making raw and important work. A lot of us are scared to do it and there is no environment in which to do it that feels okay. I mean,
it’s literally like you do it in a place that feels fucking terrible all the time.” - Kristin

50:56 - “I feel it’s my goal to instill fear in people who have done harm in the room… and to make people understand who don’t, or who don’t care. And then to honor people who have shared my experiences. So I want to do all that at once. And I feel like if I don’t do that, I fail.” - Kristin

52:10 - “One of my favorite things is when the sound guy comes back and is like, ‘that was fucking gnarly, that was the scariest thing I’ve ever seen!’ It’s happened a few times and I’m always looking for that response.” - Kristin

55:00 - On the environment in which you create, how to control it.

1:03:35 - “No one told me just play a blues jam, you’ll get the same levels, you don’t have to sing about your rape at sound check.” - AFP

LYRICS:

you worship the sun
and you’re aching for change

i got some feelings up my sleeve
i got a compass in my arm
i got a needle in my heart
it’s gonna tell us where we are

south by southwest
two miles from town
i can’t get out
i can’t look down
if you can hear
if you’re around
i’m over here
i’m over here
i’m watching everyone i love
drowning in the sound

you worship the sun
but the moon’s in the way
so get your armaments out
she’s always looking for trouble
she’s gonna get what’s been coming to her
she’s switching the tides
and we can’t have that shit around
