I Know I Love Sexy Surf Guitars,

I Was In A Band In The '90s Called Bikini Kill, And We Were So Freaked Out About Documentation Then, And There Was The Whole Thing, Not Just About The Male Gaze, But That People Were Going To Misrepresent You... A Kind Fear Of The Mainstream That A Lot Of Us Had.

I Think That The Internet Is Really Cool Because A Lot Of Young Feminists Don't Feel Like They Have To Reinvent The Wheel.

I've Always Thought That "punk" Wasn't Really A Genre. My Band Started In Olympia Where K Records Was And K Records Put Out Music That Didn't Sound Super Loud And Aggressive. And Yet They Were Punk Because They Were Creating Culture In Their Own Community Instead Of Taking Their Cue From Mtv About What Was Real Music And What Was Cool. It Wasn't About A Certain Fashion. It Was About Your Ideology, It Was About Creating A Community And Doing It On Your Own And Not Having To Rely On, Kinda, "the Man" To Brand You And Say That You Were Okay.

I Always Tell Girls Who Say They Want To Start A Band But Don't Have Any Talent, Well, Neither Do I. I Mean, I Can Carry A Tune, But Anyone Who Picks Up A Bass Can Figure It Out. You Don't Have To Have Magic Unicorn Powers. You Work At It, And You Get Better. It's Like Anything- You Sit There And Do It Every Day, And Eventually You Get Good At It.

I'm Living In A World Where There Are Lgbtq Straight Alliances At High Schools. I Feel Pretty Psyched On That.
