My Favorite Albums/Projects From Each Year of the 10s

The 2010′s decade is about 6 months till its end, mind-boggling enough, this blog has existed for 9 years of it starting mid-2011. Thank you to everyone who’s ever taken any sort of time out of their life to read, think about, or even just glance at one of my reviews over the years it’s meant a lot.

FIGHT LIKE A GIRL, a lucy karoonda mix.

𝒊 𝒂𝒎 𝒔𝒎𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅 𝒊𝒔 𝒃𝒊𝒈, 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒊'𝒎 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒂𝒇𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒅 𝒐𝒇 𝒂𝒏𝒚𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈

( listen / download )

01. CLEMENTINE de washington ( i'm alright, i don't mind, i'm just running into something bigger than the something that i left behind. you are restless, very young, got a message from your mother, said to tell you she'll be coming round the mountain when she comes. )

02. TITANIUM de david guetta ft. sia ( you shout it out, but i can't hear a word you say. i'm criticized, but all your bullets ricochet. shoot me down, but i get up. raise your voice, sticks and stones may break my bones, i'm talking loud, not saying much. i'm bulletproof, nothing to lose. fire away, fire away. ricochet, you take your aim. fire away, fire away. you shoot me down, but i won't fall, i am titanium.

03. ONE GIRL REVOLUTION de superchick ( i wear a disguise, i'm just your average jane. the super doesn't stand for model, but that doesn't mean i'm plain. if all you see is how i look, you miss the superchick within. some people see the revolution but most only see the girl. i can lose my hard earned freedom if my fear defines my world. i declare my independence from the critics and their stones. i can find my revolution i can learn to stand alone. i'll be everything that i want to be, i am confidence in insecurity. i am a voice yet waiting to be heard. i'll shoot the shot, bang, that you hear round the world. and i'm a one girl revolution. )

04. WINGS de little mix ( don't let what they say keep you up at night, and if they give you shhhh... then they can walk on by. my feet, feet can't touch the ground and i can't hear a sound, but you just keep on running up your mouth yeah. walk, walk on over there, 'cause i'm too fly to care, oh yeah. your words don't mean a thing, i'm not listening, keep talking. don't let what they say keep you up at night, and they can't detain you 'cause wings are made to fly. and we don't let nobody bring us down. no matter what you say – it won't hurt me. don't matter if i fall from the sky, these wings are made to fly. )

05. NOBODY’S FOOL de avril lavigne ( fall back, take a look at me and you'll see i'm for real. i feel what only i can feel and if that don't appeal to you, let me know and i'll go 'cause i flow better when my colors show. if you're trying to turn me into someone else, its easy to see i'm not down with that. i'm not nobody's fool. if you're trying to turn me into something else, i've seen enough and i'm over that. i'm not nobody's fool. if you wanna bring me down, go ahead and try. )

06. MOST GIRLS de hailee steinfeld ( most girls are smart and strong and beautiful. most girls work hard, go far, we are unstoppable. most girls, our fight to make every day, no two are the same. i wanna be like, i wanna be like most girls. )

07. I EAT BOYS LIKE YOU FOR BREAKFAST de ida maria ( you came to my island, you stepped on my lawn. you pissed off the dog too, you won't last 'til dawn. you insulted my mother, you crapped on my father, say your last prayers mister. i eat boys like you for breakfast, where's my knife and fork now? )

08. I AM WOMAN de helen reddy ( i am woman, hear me roar, in numbers too big to ignore. and i know too much to go back and pretend, 'cause i've heard it all before. and i've been down there on the floor, no one's ever going to keep me down again. yes, i am wise, but it's wisdom born of pain. yes, i've paid the price, but look how much i gained. if i have to, i can do anything. i am strong, i am invincible, i am woman. you can bend but never break me, 'cause it only serves to make me more determined to achieve my final goal. and i'll come back even stronger, not a novice any longer, 'cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul. )

09. WHO SAYS de selena gomez ( i'm sure you got some things you'd like to change about yourself, but when it comes to me i wouldn't want to be anybody else. i'm no beauty queen, i'm just beautiful me. who says, who says you're not perfect? who says you're not worth it? who says you're not pretty? who says you're not beautiful? who says? who says you're not star potential? who says you're not presidential? who says you can't be in movies? listen to me, listen to me. who says you don't pass the test? who says you can't be the best? who said, who said? would you tell me who said that? )

10. HERE I AM de carly patterson ( looking back, where i'm from, can't believe that i'm here. gave my all, payed the price, and i do it again. i've walked alone, in my head, i've cried in my bed. but the morning lights, oh so bright, wake me again. it's about faith and it's about fate, it's about risking it all everyday. it's about holding when you wanna let go. it's just believing in all that you know. here i am now, standing on the edge, everything i know coming together. all my life i've seen it in my dreams, waiting for the day i'm just a second away. break it down, in my head, i can see it so clear. i work it out in my heart, i see it appear. the world it so beautiful from the view up here. it's about reaching when there's nothing inside. it's about breathing when all is too much. it's about standing when you wanna give up. everything is disappearing, standing up here alone. and i feel like i'm standing forever, this is where i belong. )

11.TOMORROW de avril lavigne ( and i wanna believe you when you tell me that it'll be ok. yeah, i try to believe you, but i don't when you say that it's gonna be, it always turns out to be a different way. i try to believe you, not today. i don't know how i'll feel tomorrow. i don't know what to say, tomorrow is a different day. tomorrow it may change. )

12. PERFECT TO ME de anne-marie ( don't feel like putting makeup on my cheeks, do what i wanna. love every single part of my body, top to the bottom. i'm not a supermodel from a magazine, i'm okay with not being perfect, 'cause that's perfect to me. no matter where i go, everybody stares at me. not into fancy clothes, i'm rocking baggy jeans. getting too close for comfort, but comfort is what i need, so i eat my body weight in chocolate and ice cream. maybe i bite my nails and don't think before i speak, don't fit in any crowd, don't ever get much sleep, i wish my legs were bigger, bigger than new york city, and i'll love who i want to love, 'cause this love is gender free. sometimes i wake up late and don't even brush my teeth. just wanna stuff my face with leftover mac and cheese. you know i get depressed, are you impressed with my honesty? so i wear what i wanna 'cause i'm cool with what's underneath. )

13. SISTERS ARE DOIN’ IT FOR THEMSELVES de eurythmics ( now there was a time when they used to say that behind every "great man", there had to be a "great woman". but in these times of change you know that it's no longer true. so we're comin' out of the kitchen 'cause there's somethin' we forgot to say to you. sisters are doin' it for themselves, standin' on their own two feet and ringin' on their own bells. now this is a song to celebrate the conscious liberation of the female state. mothers, daughters and their daughters too. woman to woman, we're singin' with you. the "inferior sex" got a new exterior. we got doctors, lawyers, politicians too. everybody, take a look around, can you see there's a woman right next to you. )

14. WOMAN’S WORLD de little mix ( if you never been told how you gotta be, what you gotta wear, how you gotta speak, if you never shouted to be heard, you ain't lived in a woman's world. and if you can't see that it's gotta change, only want the body but not the brains, if you think that's the way it works, you ain't lived in a woman's world. no, no (try livin', try try livin'), oh, no (try livin', try try livin'), oh (in a woman's world), try livin' in a woman's world. just look at how far that we've got and don't think that we'll ever stop. know that there will be a day when everyone's treated the same, it's the only way it's got to be. )

15. MEN EXPLAIN THINGS TO ME de tacocat ( i already know how this is gonna go. tell me to calm down, tell me to calm down again. don't tell me what to do, my feelings won't subdue just because you told them to. you're a cliché, useless in every way. this land is your land in the palm of your hand, i'll walk around so you can stand. you're in my way, everyday. we get it dude, we've already heard enough from you, the turning point is overdue. )

16. FLY de hilary duff ( in a moment, everything can change, feel the wind on your shoulder. for a minute, all the world can wait, let go of your yesterday. all your worries, leave them somewhere else, find a dream you can follow. reach for something, when there's nothing left, and the world's feeling hollow. can you hear it calling? can you feel it in your soul? can you trust this longing? and take control. fly, open up the part of you that wants to hide away. you can shine, forget about the reasons why you can't in life, and start to try, 'cause it's your time, time to fly. and when you're down and feel alone, just want to run away, trust yourself and don't give up, you know you better than anyone else. )

17. NEVER GIVE UP de sia ( and i won't let you get me down. i'll keep gettin' up when i hit the ground. oh, never give up, no, never give up no, no, oh. )

18. HOW DOES IT FEEL de avril lavigne ( i'm not afraid of anything, i just need to know that i can breathe. and i don't need much of anything but suddenly, suddenly. i am small and the world is big, all around me is fast moving. surrounded by so many things, suddenly, suddenly. how does it feel to be different from me? are we the same? i'm young, and i am free, but i get tired, and i get weak. i get lost, and i can't sleep. i am small and the world is big, but i'm not afraid of anything. )

19. DEATH de white lies ( i love the feeling when we lift off, watching the world so small below. i love the dreaming when i think of the safety in the clouds out my window. the sky's set out like a pathway, but who decides which route we take. as people drift into a dreamworld, i close my eyes as my hands shake. and when i see a new day, who’s driving this anyway. i picture my own grave, 'cause fear's got a hold on me. floating neither up or down, i wonder when i’ll hit the ground. )

20. DOWN de jason walker ( i shot for the sky, i'm stuck on the ground, so why do i try? i know i'm gonna fall down. i thought i could fly, so why did i drown? i never know why it's coming down. )

21. PART OF ME de katy perry ( you took my light, you drained me down, but that was then and this is now, now look at me. this is the part of me that you're never gonna ever take away from me, no. throw your sticks and your stones, throw your bombs and your blows, but you're not gonna break my soul. )

22. RISE UP de andra day ( and you can't find the fighter, but i see it in you. so we gonna walk it out, move mountains. and i'll rise up, i'll rise like the day. i'll rise up, i'll rise unafraid. i'll rise up, and i'll do it a thousand times again. and i'll rise up, high like the waves. i'll rise up in spite of the ache )

23. FIGHT SONG de rachel platten ( this is my fight song, take back my life song, prove i'm alright song. my power's turned on, starting right now i'll be strong, i'll play my fight song. and i don't really care if nobody else believes, 'cause i've still got a lot of fight left in me. like a small boat on the ocean, sending big waves into motion. like how a single word can make a heart open. i might only have one match, but i can make an explosion. )

24. BREAKAWAY de kelly clarkson ( trying hard to reach out, but when i tried to speak out felt like no one could hear me. wanted to belong here, but something felt so wrong here, so i prayed i could break away. i'll spread my wings and i'll learn how to fly, i'll do what it takes 'til i touch the sky. and i'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change and breakaway. buildings with a hundred floors, swinging 'round revolving door, maybe i don't know where they'll take me but gotta keep moving on, moving on, fly away, breakaway. out of the darkness and into the sun, but i won't forget the place i come from. i gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway. )

25. FREAK OUT de avril lavigne ( try to tell me what i shouldn't do, you should know by now i won't listen to you. walk around with my hands up in the air, 'cause i don't care. you don't always have to do everything right, stand up for yourself and put up a fight. just let me live my life, i can't ever run and hide. i won't compromise, 'cause i'll never know. )

26. RUN THE WORLD (GIRLS) de beyoncé ( some of them men think, they freak this like we do. but no, they don't, make your check come at their neck. disrespect us? no, they won't. this goes out to all the women getting it in, you're on your grind. to other men that respect what i do, please accept my shine. boy i know you love it, how we're smart enough to make these millions, strong enough to bear the children then get back to business. see, you better not play me. who are we? what we run? the world. who run the world? girls. )

BONUS. MISS INDEPENDENT de kelly clarkson ( miss independent, miss self-sufficient, miss keep-your-distance. miss unafraid, miss out-of-my-way, miss don't-let-a-man-interfere, no. miss on-her-own, miss almost-grown, miss never-let-a-man-help-her-off-her-throne. so, by keeping her heart protected, she'd never ever feel rejected. little miss apprehensive, said ooh, she fell in love. what is the feelin' takin' over? thinkin' no one could open my door. surprise, it's time to feel what's real. what happened to miss independent? no longer need to be defensive. goodbye, old you, when love is true. misguided heart, miss play-it-smart, miss if-you-want-to-use-that-line-you-better-not-start, no. but she miscalculated, she didn't want to end up jaded, and this miss decided not to miss out on true love. so, by changing her misconceptions, she went in a new direction and found inside she felt a connection, she fell in love. when miss independence walked away, no time for love that came her way. she looked in the mirror and thought today, what happened to miss no-longer-afraid? it took some time for her to see how beautiful love could truly be. no more talk of why can't that be me, i'm so glad i finally see. )

╰ ❄ feliz navidad y año nuevo, ale.

*Baila tap* Que onda, it’s the me again 8). Siento que ya me había tocado Lucy antes, creo que sí, y aunque estuve tentada a hacer algo Dancy, pensé que esta vez me enfocaría en Lucy. Así que me puse a hacerle un mix y casi pongo toda la discografía de Avril Lavigne, pero me detuve AHAHAHAHA. Originalmente la portada iba a ser otra pero busqué por mar y tierra la foto que quería y nunca la encontré, así que dije: bueno, yolito; ese dibujo siempre me ha recordado a Lucy, así que espero que la portada simple te guste <33. Quise abarcar desde su feminismo, pasando por como la gente no la aceptó por quien era y por sus orígenes muggles, cruzando por su temor en la guerra y tocando un poco de Dancy (he ahí el bonus track, que obvio es un clásico de Lucy 8D). Algo en lo que me fijé fue en el tema de volar, puedes notar que varias canciones remiten al gusto de Lucy por volar, como se siente mejor arriba en las nubes, como se siente libre ahí, además de lo mucho que ha luchado por lo que quiere. Fue un tema que honestamente me gustó mucho tratar. No negaré que fue difícil hacerlo y me tomó un poco más de tiempo que el resto de mis regalos, pero al final junté muchas cancioncitas que me parece quedan re bien con Lucy.

Espero te guste mucho este mix, que creo también quedará mucho contigo, ahí te robas unas rolas para ti :*, okay no. Ahhhh, me alegra mucho que me hayas tocado. Te amo mucho, sé que siempre te lo digo pero te amo mucho, eres un enorme apoyo en mi vida y te he podido contar cosas que a nadie más, y aún así, sorpresivamente, me ves como una hermosa persona, lo cual no entiendo, pero agradezco. Gracias por ser mi partner in crime, por siempre escucharme cuando me siento mal, por estar de mi lado y defenderme, por permitirme verme claramente cuando siento que soy un asco. Sé que muchas veces chocamos, otras veces peleamos, pero me alegro que siempre nos arreglemos porque eres parte fundamental de mi vida, y si no hablara con Joa y contigo diario sería muy extraño. Muchas gracias por ayudarme a mantener este roleplay que tanto queremos con vida, por darme ships bonitas, plots bonitos, decir que mis personajes son cool, levantarme el ánimo cuando alguien me dice algo feo, darme cachetadas cuando lo necesito, y recordarme que no todo es tan horrible. Eres mi pequeña roca y te amo mucho. Muchas gracias por todo, Ale, no sé quien sería hoy sin ti (y sin Joa). Eres muy importante para mí. Disfruta de este pequeño regalo, I luv u. Feliz Navidad y año nuevo, que este año sea hermoso para ti, porque mereces todo lo bonito en esta vida. Me emociona poder vivir otro año contigo a mi lado.

— andy. 🎅

End of Year Ask Meme

Song of the year?

Fuck, I really couldn’t tell you. A lot of songs impacted me this year, and I’d be tempted to just pick the most recent one. Right now I’m obsessed with Zeppelin’s “Dazed and Confused,” but earlier in the year it was stuff like “Fill in the Blank” and “Cassie.”

Album of the year?

Definitely Tacocat’s “Lost Time.” It’s the first album I’ve bought a physical vopy of and I really like every song on it. Other honorable mentions include “Led Zeppelin III” and “What Could Go Wrong.”

Favorite musical artist / group you started listening to this year?

Oasis, honestly. I found a lot of individual songs I liked this year, but I listened to the most songs by Oasis. I already knew “Wonderwall,” obviously, but “Headshrinker” and “Morning Glory” are good as well.

Movie of the year?

“Thor: Ragnarok.” It was incredibly fun the whole way through and I didn’t have as many issues with it as I did other movies I saw this year.

TV show of the year?

Tie between “My Hero Academia” and “Little Witch Academia.” Both shows have immediately likeable protagonists and fantastic supporting casts and both got me super excited. I’ll give “Little Witch Academia” the top spot since the other is still running, and it had a plucky, optimistic main character who wasn’t annoying at all.

Episode of tv or webisode that defined the year for you?

I don’t know, dude. I think the episode of “My Hero Academia” where All Might fights Nomu is pretty up there. Not a lot of TV episodes get me on the edge of my seat like that did, and that fight managed to create tension without making me think the hero could ever lose. All Might best hero 2k17.

Favorite actor of the year?

Daisy Ridley, Kelly Marie Tran, Chris Hemsworth, Tessa Thompson... there’s too many to pick just one. Any powerful women are basically automatically included. Mark Hamill was great too.

Game of the year?

Stardew Valley by playtime, but I also really loved Tekken 7 and Battle Chasers: Nightwar. Hand of Fate 2 is fun but gets very frustrating in the later parts of the game.

Best month for you this year?

One of the early months probably, or maybe June?

Something that made you cry this year?

I can honestly say nothing. Lots of things should have, but I don’t think I cried at all this year. Emotional detachment is fun

Something you want to do again next year?

Go back to school and finish my FUCKING degree

Talk about a new friend you made this year?

Not sure about new friends, but some of the student helpers at my job are really cool.

How was your birthday this year?

Nice. Always nice to spend time with my family.

Favorite book you read this year?

“Seconds” by Brian Lee O’Malley

What’s a bad habit you picked up this year?

Overspending on Fire Emblem: Heroes

Post a picture from the beginning of the year?

I don’t feel like looking through my photos, ask if you really want one

Post a picture from the end of the year?

See above

A memorable meal this year?

21st birthday meal at Montgomery Inn. First legal drink, and a delicious meal as they always provide down there.

What’re you excited about for next year?

Hopefully returning to school and finishing my FUCKING degree

What’s something you learned this year?

A lot of stuff about IT

What’s something new about your place of residence (room, home, or general location) now vs the start of the year?

I moved

Favorite place you visited this year?

Didn’t really travel much. I went to see the solar eclipse but that town was a fucking shithole.

If you could send a message to yourself back on the first day of the year, what would it be?

Work harder in your classes and don’t take those two online courses in the Summer.

Did you keep any New Year’s Resolutions?

Didn’t have any

Did you create any characters (in games, art, or writing) this year?

I created a whole cast in fact, I’m writing a screenplay. The main character’s name is Lily Chou. She’s a Senior film student working on documenting the lives of herself and her two roommates, Kaya and Leona.

INTERVIEW - Queer Punk Quatuor VĖRSįNTHË 99

Photo : Camille Pavel

VĖRSįNTHË 99 est un quatuor queer-punk qui s’est rencontré dans une absintherie du sud de la France, début XXIe siècle. Leurs sonorités traversent de multiples strates : punks, psychédéliques, féministes et poétiques. Leur musique est impulsive, chimérique et engagée. Elle questionne, dénonce, rassemble ; idéalement, elle doit sauver laurs quatre pauvres vies et toutes celles du public par le punk-rock.

“Ils ont entre 21 et 26 ans. Amélie, Mathieu, Margaux et Ronan sont non binaires, androgynes, pansexuel.les et bisexuel.le.s. Leur objectif : agiter la scène punk et véhiculer un message queer.“ source Têtu

Leur interview est à lire ici :

Quand êtes-vous tombé•es dans la musique ? Vous souvenez-vous de vos premiers disques ?

Amélie : J’ai eu la chance d’avoir une enfance bercée de musique. Mon père écoutait des groupes rock et psyché des années 60-70 (The Who, The Doors, The Velvet Underground... ). Ma mère aimait beaucoup la musique trip hop comme Massive Attack. Mes premiers disques, ce sont tous ceux-là. Avec une préférence pour la poétesse et pythie du rock Patti Smith, et les textes surréalistes de Dylan. Ces deux androgynes avaient une façon unique de chanter, de déclamer, qui me fascinait.

A sept ans, j’ai voulu commencer l’accordéon. J’avais vu cet instrument mélancolique et mystérieux dans les bras d’une amie à mes parents, et j’ai voulu m’en emparer. Mes parents n’étaient pas instrumentistes, mais ils m’ont fait confiance. C’est seulement en 2017 avec Versinthë99 que je me suis mise au chant, presque « par défaut ». Toutes les filles avaient trouvé leur place, il restait donc un micro... finalement ça tombait bien, j’avais un classeur entier de textes !

Ronan : J’ai grandi en écoutant ce que mes parents passaient à la maison, à savoir beaucoup de variété française... Ce n’est qu’à la fin du lycée que je me suis réellement intéressé à la musique, en écoutant du rock des années 60-70 comme les Beatles, les Stones, Led Zeppelin, et de l’indie comme les Arctic Monkeys, ou encore les Franz Ferdinand. D’autres groupes se sont rajoutés à la liste de mes artistes fétiches : les Doors, le Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, le Brian Jonestown Massacre. A 19 ans, je me suis mis en tête d’apprendre à jouer de la guitare folk en autodidacte. C’est en rejoignant Versinthë99 durant l’année 2017, que je me suis mis à l’électrique.

Mathieu : J'ai également commencé la guitare en autodidacte, à 18 ans. Ma famille n'était pas du tout musicienne, mais j'ai pu compter sur les conseils de mes ami•es pour apprendre quelques bases du solfège. De fil en aiguille, je me suis dirigée vers la batterie, l'instrument que je convoitais à l’origine. J'ai intégré un Conservatoire pour y développer mon apprentissage, puis je suis entré en musicologie à l’Université Paris 8.

Mon père me faisait beaucoup écouter de musique quand j'étais enfant. Il m'a fait découvrir Eels, Dire Straits, U2, Supertramp... J'ai acheté mes premiers CDs au lycée, parmi lesquels :

Blink-182, Green Day, Muse... mes goûts musicaux se sont bien développés avec le temps. Maa : Mon intérêt pour la musique est apparu lors de ma dernière année de collège. J'ai eu une transition assez radicale car je suis passé du rap au métal classique. Je rêvais de faire des concerts comme ces artistes et j'adorais le folk métal. Mon premier album (Eluveitie) appartenait justement à ce style de musique. Mais c'est en entrant à la fac que j'ai pu développer tout cela, notamment grâce à mes fréquentations. Je n'avais pas d’ami•es porté•es punk/métal auparavant, et voulant pratiquer. J'ai rencontré Mathieu, et elle m'a encouragé à m'inscrire au conservatoire de sa ville, pour (ENFIN) me lancer à la basse. J'ai choisi cet instrument par défaut, mais j'ai fini par m'y attacher, par profiter pleinement de celui-ci, et à m'y identifier. Je suis entré dans Versinthë99 un soir d'Halloween. J'étais débutant, et peu sûr de moi. Mais l'expérience m'a aidé à me lancer pleinement, la meilleure école.

Y a-t-il des artistes qui ont compté dans votre inspiration pour créer le groupe ?

Amélie : En 2015, alors que je faisais des recherches dans le cadre d’un article pour mon webzine féministe et LGBTQI+ Le Castor, je tombe sur des photographies des Riot Grrrls. Je découvre un courant musical et féministe qui porte les voix marginales et encourage l’amateurisme. Je me souviens avoir noté, en lisant Bikini Kill, « rendre le punk plus féministe, et le féminisme plus punk » dans un cahier de brouillon. J’étais euphorique. Et puis, en cherchant autour de moi, je me suis rendu compte que d’autres potes s’identifiaient à ces pratiques rebelles. La première version de Versinthë99 était composée de cinq meufs. Alizé, Téri, Lélia, Léa et moi avions diverses inspirations musicales telles que Tacocat, The Kills, Le Tigre ou Sonic Youth, mais c’est surtout la force de ces meufs et la confiance mutuelle qui ont compté pour créer le groupe et oser à peine 4 mois plus tard monter sur la scène du Supersonic. Il faut se dire que si Lélia jouait sacrément bien et écrasait musicalement tous les petits guitaristes hipster à la ronde, Léa s’est mise à la basse pour rejoindre le projet punk féministe, et personnellement, je n’avais jamais dit grand-chose dans un micro !

Maa : Je suis arrivé tardivement dans le groupe, je n'ai donc pas participé à sa création, mais je souhaite aider à la continuation de celui-ci ! D'autant plus que je ne connaissais pas les groupes, artistes, et le mouvement que cite Amélie, au moment où je suis arrivé. Je suis heureux de les connaître désormais. On doit en parler, car pour ma part (et je ne pense pas être le seul, hélas), j'ai été bercé par les musiques de groupes masculins hétéro-centrés, notamment dans la scène métalleuse, qui manque cruellement de représentations LGBTQI+. Il n'est jamais trop tard...

Ronan : C’est aussi en rejoignant le groupe que j’ai découvert le mouvement Riot Grrrl et des artistes comme Bikini Kill ou Bratmobile, ainsi que des artistes françaises comme Mme Ex. Mathieu : Je n'ai pas assisté à la création du groupe, en revanche, il y a des groupes qui m'inspirent comme Totorro, Bad Pelicans, et plus récemment Amyl and the Sniffers.

On parle souvent de la misogynie et de lgbtphobies à l'égard des artistes queer, qu'en pensez-vous ? Vous sentez-vous investi•es d’un rôle par rapport à ça ?

Mathieu : Effectivement ! Je me souviens d'un soir où l’on jouait au Supersonic et où une bande de mec cis s'est cassée dès qu'Amélie a crié qu'on était un groupe queer et féministe. Ça nous a bien fait marrer ! J'ai envie que la scène queer devienne quelque chose d'habituel. Amélie : Il y a une grande inégalité en faits et des discriminations persistantes. J’ai l’impression que de plus en plus de meufs constituent des groupes, ce qui est vraiment formidable, mais dans les salles le constat est toujours aussi désolant : tu vois des mecs, avec une grande estime d’eux-mêmes, souvent conformes à toutes ces « normes » du rock (je me frotte lascivement l’entre-jambe contre le micro si je suis chanteur, je fais l’amour à ma guitare ou à mon clavier quand je suis instrumentiste, je me mets torse poil à la batterie... ).

Nos textes se veulent des poèmes engagés qui parlent des luttes féministes et LGBTQI+, des discriminations, des personnes minorées, d’errances... Sur scène, Maa et Mathieu en particulier défont le genre. Durant les soirées, j’essaye de passer au maximum dans le public avec le micro pour recueillir les cris et l’énergie des meufs et LGBTQI+, et ainsi les inclure davantage dans le concert. Ce sont toujours des échanges puissants. On veut vraiment les encourager à créer pour faire la peau au patriarcat.

Ronan : Il n’y a qu’à voir le nombre de témoignages que le site Paye ta Note a déjà recueilli... Il suffit d’aller dans une salle de concert pour s’apercevoir aussi que le public est très masculin et très hétéro. Profiter d’un concert sans subir les pogos de mecs bourrés, tout en voyant correctement les artistes, est devenu compliqué.

Maa : Je pense que si le sujet est souvent évoqué, c'est que cela existe. Il y a un problème de discriminations, et on compte bien y remédier, en reprenant un peu contrôle sur les scènes artistiques. Il suffit d'être un minimum attentif•ve dans un public d'artistes queer, pour constater les remarques mal placées et autres agressions. Envers les artistes, comme envers le public LGBTQI+. La plupart des concerts auxquels j'ai pu assister étaient hétéro-centrés. Quand on se retrouve à devoir nous-même créer nos événements safe et/ou en non-mixité, cela prouve que l'inclusivité n'est pas une préoccupation majeure pour les bars ou scènes populaires. Heureusement que ce concept existe afin de rendre la musique ou l'art en général plus accessible à tous•tes.

La scène queer a bien évolué en quelques années. Comment percevez-vous celle-ci ?

Amélie : Je ne suis pas assez éclairée et compétente pour répondre convenablement à la question. Toutefois si je devais donner un ressenti, je dirais que la scène queer est très liée à la musique électronique. Dans les clubs mythiques comme le Pulp, on faisait la part belle aux DJ’s. Il me semble que c’est toujours ce qui est en vogue actuellement, être derrière la platine d’un bar. J’aime bien l’idée de faire bouger la communauté, à condition de lutter également contre la dépolitisation des LGBTQI+ et de bien faire gaffe à ne pas devenir aussi fades que les straight... Ok j’avoue, j’aimerais rencontrer plus de personnes queer-punk.

Ronan : Honnêtement, je ne m’y connais pas assez non plus... La musique électronique est ce qui me vient à l’esprit tout de suite et j’ai l’impression que c’est toujours ce qui domine musicalement parlant.

Mathieu : J'aimerai encourager chaque personne queer à monter sur scène. Si nous on le fait, tout le monde peut le faire !

Maa : Je suis très novice dans le milieu. Tout ce que je peux dire, c'est que des tas d’initiatives sont prises afin de faire connaître ces artistes, et c'est super.

Que pensez-vous de la scène queer en France ?

Maa : Les groupes rencontrés avec Versinthë99 prouvent qu'elle est active, bien que notre combat reste plus de visibilité !

Ronan : Je trouve que c’est trop axé musique électronique. Je ne dis pas que ce n’est pas bien, mais qu’apporter un peu de diversité serait vraiment profitable à la scène queer.

Mathieu : Oui, ce serait formidable s'il y avait plus de diversité dans les genres musicaux !

Amélie : Au fur et à mesure des scènes, on se fait des contacts. Mais on ne connaît pas encore une floppée d’artistes queer qui bougent la France. Au risque de nous répéter, il faudrait davantage d’événements pour les rassembler, et des programmations moins axées musiques électroniques.

Vos artistes préféré•es en ce moment ?

Amélie : Les filles du groupe londonien Yassassin, les américaines punk-rock The Coathangers, les islandaises du groupe post-punk Kaelan Mikla.

Ronan : Je dirais le groupe bordelais Judith Judah, avec qui on a joué en avril et que j’avais adoré.

Mathieu : Clairement, Amyl and the Sniffers, et dans un autre genre : Calypso Rose.

Maa : Un groupe que je recommande toujours, c'est Ropoporose. J'ai assisté à leur concert, au festival Toc Toc bonjour, et j'en garde un parfait souvenir. Les sonorités des Bad Pelicans, Dr Chan, et de Requin Chagrin, m'inspirent selon mes humeurs.

Avec quel•les autres artistes aimeriez-vous jouer ?

Ronan : Surtout, on voudrait éviter de rejouer dans des soirées avec uniquement des groupes de mecs...

Amélie : Chaque initiative engagée a son importance. Alors, tout groupe féministe et queer prêt à faire la révolution avec nous !

Mathieu : Qu'importe, du moment que le groupe est queer, féministe, ou les deux !

Maa : Des artistes sur la même longueur d'onde que nous. J'aimerais vraiment jouer aux côtés de personnes partageant le même combat, avec qui on peut se permettre de crier notre rage.

Vos prochaines dates ?

Pour le moment, ce sont les suivantes : 🌞 Samedi 21 septembre, au Vélove de Montreuil

🌛 Vendredi 4 octobre, à l’occasion de la soirée Women Youthquake organisée par Le Castor Magazine aux Mains d’œuvres, à Saint-Ouen

🌝 Samedi 16 novembre, à La Voûte, à Bordeaux

🌜 Samedi 30 novembre, au Café La Pêche, à Montreuil

Que pensez-vous de Support your Local Girl Gang ?

Amélie : C’est une super force, cette chaîne d’action et d’union de grrrls créatives et engagées. Sincèrement, je vous adore. Il faut continuer à mettre toute cette culture féministe et LGBTQI+ dans les tripes de la génération qui vient ! Maa : Je ne connaissais pas du tout. J'ai donc été faire un tour, et de ce que j'en ai vu, ça me plaît beaucoup. Merci d'exister.

Ronan : Je vous suis depuis peu, je trouve ça chouette qu’un média partage des initiatives queer.

Mathieu : C'est une super initiative que j'encourage fortement ! On a besoin de médias comme le vôtre pour mettre en lumière des artistes queer et féministes. Force à vous !

Nota bene : Mathieu se genre de façon anarchique.
