Idioti

To the fucking peanut gallery: Down in the Brunner Mine is a folk song from 1896, and I actually said that in the introduction to the video. Hence, 'that'll never make a miner gay' means 'happy' .. then you wonder why I despise the clique-y gayness of privileged Wellingtonians? I sang that song in a great outfit, but that was Sarah's top, and I threw out all of the clothes that she gave me after the flat dramas. - Much like I Struck For Better Wages is also a 1890's song, and hence 'labour' means labour vs. capital, not the Labour Party (which wasn't formed until 1916). - Much like this whole 'Dakta and Gary are gay' thing... obviously, I know those guys for real and we seriously do have rather ribald conversations about sex and women. Plus obviously Dakta's been married before. As I say, Jackie's relationship with Dakta really split a wedge among the club insiders. - I'd also point out that my brother is more conservative than me... he thought that Ethan was gay because he was so vain, and that he talked a big game while essentially only picking up girls via Tinder (very sporadically). Obviously once I left my family and my fairweather conservative friends, I had that freedom to truly express my own views. I'm not saying that I haven't said things that aren't exactly pro-gay, but I'd also say that when push came to shove, I chose to stand up for all our communities. I'd say that my comments are essentially snippy bitchiness of the kind that all political movements share. - Listening to Salty. Great album. Yes, Shipwrecked is going to have electric guitars, but I actually want to use a nylon guitar as the rhythm guitar. Don plays an acoustic-electric in those Mutton Birds records, right? - Shore Cry is older than those songs. That's an 1830's whaling song, I think...
